    Trichinosis, be honest, have you gotten it?

    Adding on to the salvage thread, have you ever contracted trichinosis? We all know there are ways to avoid it, but I can't help but wonder how many people have contracted it when you see guys eating bear meat over a camp fire, making sausage sticks, smoked hams, and prep that pretty much hasn't...

    So how many are going back and forth between WY General Random Special and Cheapie fee?

    As the title states. Any indecisions? I should draw a good tag in CO this year, but I'm still on the fence how I play my cards in WY.

    Winch ATV options

    I have a Honda Rubicon 4 wheeler, and am looking at winch options. Any recommended brands for something that will be used here an there? Also, any pros and cons of putting one on the front vs getting a manual or one that you carry around so you could pull out no matter which direction is needed...

    WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?

    Based on a few threads below "would you shoot this bull " etc, the question came to me about the new pricing in WY. Are you paying for the experience of hunting elk in WY specifically? What is the experience you're looking for that sets WY apart from other states? I don't think dollars equate...

    Distance Travelled Archery

    I've been a close range elk guy (anything for that matter) and I have noticed my shooting skills aren't like most here i.e 30 yds for me is a long shot. I've only killed two elk of the 2 dozen or more over 20 yds and my recoveries have mostly all been down in sight. I mean less than 50yds on 98...

    The day before the opener

    There is a group of deer, elk, moose, sheep, you name it. You're unsure who else has eyes on them but you've been watching them for months and they haven't really moved. What's your opening day plan?

    Are you ready?

    Archery elk is coming fast. I have never been so unorganized and unprepared. Work, people dying, everything has just wrecked the year so far. My go to broadheads weren't flying so well, and instead of trying to solve it, I put some slicktricks on and they're flying good. I don't really care for...

    Are you pumped for OTC Colorado Elk?

    I'm finding it very difficult to get motivated for OTC elk this year. I have a Mountain Goat tag right in the middle of the season, and scouting for that knowing there are only 3 other tag holders has my motivation high. OTC elk? With the limiting of more units this year, the NW corner getting...

    Packs and Meat

    So when you have the elk or whatever down, are you putting meat inside the bag of pack? Or do you have a batwing style? I've been using batwing style packs and love them. The simplicity when it's dark etc is what I like. Where am I going? I picked up a Kifaru Nomad for 80 bucks a few years...

    Will you kill an elk anywhere?

    I’m curious on how far guys will go to kill an elk? We hear nasty terrain, holes, etc. I’ve always said i will kill an elk anywhere, but I guess after thinking about that, what that really means is I will kill an elk anywhere that I have committed to hunt. There is a place i used to love...

    Does this cross your mind?

    You're up in your elk spots in August, or say a week or two prior to the season, and it's a ghost town, I mean empty, not a soul. You in sit in your camping spot no atvs or trucks passing by, no headlights off in the distance, just quiet. Ears ringing. You wake up in the AM, same thing, have...

    35k new applicants CO

    Word on the street, 35k new applicants ( not all elk) in CO this year. Have your plan C-D and F ready. Wow! I’m pretty sure the fact Wy closing the doors is flooding the CO market. OTC is going to be ugly. Really hoping I draw a couple long shots.

    Atv trailer

    Just bought an ATV, looking for a trailer that will haul the trailer and maybe 2-3 bait barrels. Also, possibles on second atv at some time. Steel vs aluminum? Big box vs a place that specializes in trailers?

    Sheep falls/tumbles?

    I know mountain goats tend to take a tumble the majority of the time messing them up more times than not. Anyone experience this with sheep?

    CO Goat Draw Odds

    Wow, has anyone had a look at how bad the odds have become? It used to be those Durango units were in the +/- 10% draw range. This screen snap really shows it. One person with max points drew last year, one! The 3+1 guys drew alot of tags due to the number of applicants. Sadly, have a look at...

    WY leftover /draw

    Looking at some units in WY that have leftover tags. If I’m seeing this correctly, NR don’t pull from any leftover tags from the resident pool, and are not eligible to get any of those tags until the second draw. Is that correct? That is to say the tags for said unit on the NR side are all...

    Someone at your location

    So you hired a guy to fly you into a lake where you know there has been a camp in the past. If you’re in the air, camp at lake, next move? Backup spot if he can land 1-2 miles away? Draw area so you can’t predict camps.
