    Agreement ends domestic sheep grazing permit

    The National Wildlife Federation bought out the permits for 10 sheep grazing allotments, 100,000 acres of BLM and NF lands, near Silverton, CO. This is the 2nd of such deals in this area. Good riddance. This summer, I visted the 1st area that was waived 2-3 years back and elk were using the...

    If you were going to ThruHike

    If you were going to ThruHike a major trail such as the CDT, Co Trail, PCT or AT, would you convert to/invest in a typical thru hiker UL setup with a frameless cuben fiber pack and <25 lbs load out or would you just use your existing hunting pack? Would you plan on eating how you eat on...

    BLM Closes Motorized access West of Moab

    I don’t have a particularly informed opinion on this matter. I follow some off-road groups because there is good info on road/“trail” conditions. I will say the motorized user groups bickers and infights at least as much as hunters. Also, I hate SxSs, hate the user group, so there’s that. As a...

    Trekking Poles when you need your hands

You need your hands to get a snack, take a drink, check the map etc. what do you do with your trekking poles and when you prop them up against your stomach and the inevitably fall...

    “The Elk are up high”

    I know, I roll my eyes as well whenever I hear this statement/advice. Elk live at all elevations. I was glassing for bear around 7,000 feet this weekend in the scrub oak. Didn’t see any bears, but sure saw lots of elk out in the scrub oak at 7,000 feet all the while a 13,000 foot peak, a few...

    Heavy Loads, PCT Style Hangs

    You need to hang meat, some of it may need to hang for up to several days. It’s predator country, so you need a predator proof hang. 2 ropes/“PCT” style hang. Merely hanging meat directly off of easily reachable limbs “Christmas tree” style won’t cut it. You need the meat at least 8 feet off...

    Near Total Eclipse on the CO rifle opener

    The 4 corners area will experience a 90% eclipse on Oct 14th at 9:15 AM. The rest of CO will be more like 50-60% sun blockage. Doubt this changes much for elk hunting strategy, but positioning yourself to experience such an event in a grand location might be something to keep in mind.

    Is this orange enough to be legal?

    Been looking for a sun hoody in Orange for awhile now. Just so happens the BD AlpenGlow Pronis my favorite sun hoody on the market. New color out. Would this constitute “blaze” orange? Need something for Sept bear hunting. Next to a Kuiu orange piece for comparison.
