    CVA Accura LRX or Paramount Pro

    Called CVA directly today: "End of the year at the earliest" and it sounds like they're reworking parts of the design.

    DIY Colorado mule deer 2025.

    Plains requires access (nearly all private) and the really good habitat has been leased by outfitters. You can absolutely shoot a monster out there, but your pocketbook will be lighter. Honestly a "management" buck through one of these outfits would likely be the biggest buck I've ever taken...

    2024 CO Goat and Sheep Draw

    Good point. I forgot about that part of the equation.

    2024 CO Goat and Sheep Draw

    Paid $100 for the privilege of doing it again next year with slightly better odds.

    Your go to Broadheads!?

    QAD Exodus and it isn't even close. The only crappy thing about them is that they are so low profile (I use the swept variety) that they can hide tuning issues, like a mechanical.

    Spotting scopes…

    Highly recommend giving them a call as well. Be forewarned that you will have someone with a NY accent ask you a bunch of questions and listen to your budget and requirements and then give you several options and tradeoffs of said options. I wish figuring out my layering system was as easy as...

    Spotting scopes…

    I have the Maven CS.1 and Magview. Good way to get your feet wet and then figure out your particular use case for a spotter.

    Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo

    My kids had a blast today. We had a late start since the winds tried sending my smoker to Kansas. My oldest (he's a little over three) shot his first foam elk today. He saw the booth and said "me shoot bow" all on his own. He needed a little help, but even with my coaching he found the vitals.

    Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo

    Overall show impressions: 1. Very gear focused. You can put your hands on some really cool stuff. My checkbook will likely be getting lighter. This is very different than the "other show in Denver" which has become a showcase for outfitters. 2. Very well organized. Plenty of parking on site and...

    Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo

    I don't want to sound like a paid testimonial (although I could write an even better review for the low-low price of one of those $125k+ fishing boats they had on display at the show), but Robby and Travis's talk was awesome. I think I noticed a crowd larger than Fred Eichler had. The best way I...

    Elk in heavy recreational traffic areas

    I'm spilling my secrets: wear a Grateful Dead t-shirt and smell like weed and you can stalk them to point blank range.

    Talk Me Out of a Knight Mountaineer

    Ok, I couldn't resist. I have now seen peak stupidity. https://www.muzzleloaders.com/product/brown-ultra-lite-muzzleloader/ Configure this rifle in .50 cal with FPJ ignition. If you want sights, it is $1,093.99 No sights is $1,493.99. So it's a $400 upgrade to REMOVE sights and not drill/tap...

    Talk Me Out of a Knight Mountaineer

    Last post to point out this BS: You can order a Mountaineer stock assembly from Knight in shadow gray. The straight stock is $608.99, the thumbhole is $429.99. Now if you order a straight stock Mountaineer (complete gun), it's a $475 difference in price versus the thumbhole model. Someone is...

    Talk Me Out of a Knight Mountaineer

    Alternatively, I could order a .45 caliber Mountaineer and the .50 caliber barrel kit for less than a .50 caliber gun. I don't have an MBA, but something feels off about that.

    Talk Me Out of a Knight Mountaineer

    Does anyone know if the Disc Extreme's stock fits on a Mountaineer? For the price of a straight stock Mountaineer I could get a thumbhole Mountaineer and a Disc Extreme.

    I'm in CO, no sabots.

    Drill/Tap Nitride Barrel for Front Sight

    I am looking at picking up my first smokepole here shortly. One of the possible candidates is the ever popular Knight Ultra-Lite, which comes in different variations of being drilled and tapped for a scope only or including iron sights. I am specifically looking at picking up a nitride model...

    how dumb is this/are people?

    Anyone else click on that link and go down several rabbit holes? I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need 5 acres of land in Joshua Tree, CA

    Mile High Hunt and Fish Expo

    I requested Friday afternoon off, so I hope to be in the crowd asking Robby and Travis (hopefully not too) stupid questions.

    Upcoming Year

    I found a tag with suspiciously good odds and I think it's worth trying. Given a highly suspect right shoulder that will likely need some serious surgery at some point, this will be my first year giving the smokepole a try while I shoot 3-D during the summer to make an educated decision if six...
