Well, I was able to get a limited leftover for GMU 45 2nd rifle Antlerless. I also have a 18 Antlerless 4th rifle, but I'm very familiar with that unit (at least I think). I'm still debating turning in 45 just to get an OTC Bull tag, but I digress.
I'm pretty fit and well versed in the...
Saw a few people on Facebook with success but few and far between. Two of them just got lucky. Tough units to get more than a couple miles from a road just because there are sooo many roads but it can be done. The elk are still there and I hardly saw anyone in 18. Maybe one other hunter while I...
I almost hunted up Buffalo this past weekend. Ended up around Slide Mountain and then Gravel Mountain. Ran into some muley doe w/fawns and a bull moose with two cows, but no fresh elk sign anywhere. Put in a lot of glass time and miles and couldn't turn anything up. Unfortunately my vehicle...
I scouted hard all day, glassing dark timber, sitting before sundown trying to catch some coming out. Have seen some real ok’d elk sign but I’m only coming across deer sign and even found a few feeding in some timber. I’ve tried some areas that were part of the burn and not camping at one that...
I'm a project engineer for an industrial water infrastructure construction company in Denver. The missus and I have been talking about moving your way if you know of anything!
I have the smallest one where the heater sits directly on top of the smaller propane bottles. I use a 2 person tent at base camp and last year I just set it in the vestibule for a while to help knock the chill off. I kept the vestibule unzipped as well-was never worried and it worked well.
The Sitka Timberline Pants with a wool baselayer over weren't terrible. I like the fit and I didn't get too hot, but when I stopped I would freeze, but I also had poor boots and a poor jacket. This year I'm trying a down overpant that I can pop on when I stop.
I have a second rifle cow and a third rifle either sex that I'll be hunting this year in the same unit I hunted 4th rifle last year (that was my first year-no elk huge learning experience). I picked a unit (s) that neighbor each other and unfortunately have a ton of roads. I've scoured...
the ruger american hunter comes with a magpul stock and is a tack driver. can get into that for 800-1k easy.
Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x50 is pretty solid as well for another 5-700 (got mine for 5 and change on sale) puts you right on the money.
If you get a tikka t3x I'd highly recommend...
I have a second and third rifle tag in that unit. I hunted 181 last year for 4th season (this is my second season as a hunter). I'll probably be up to scout as you are hunting/getting ready to leave. If you want to link up and share some advice or need help with a pack-out let me know.
