    Your first deer rifle?

    My Grandfather's Ruger .257 Roberts with a Leopold Scope when I was 12. I think my dad has actually been using that rifle the last 10 years or so for whitetail. Was able to take my first two PA whitetails with it when I was 13 & 15 years old.

    CO 3rd Rifle Thread

    Overall decent. I was able to get out on 3 half day hunts on a leftover tag that allowed me to sleep in my own bed. Chances on all 3 outings. Did see lots of hunters(a LOT of road hunters), 4 Moose, 5 bucks, 1 Mountain lion, 0 Elk or sign. Had a small 3X3 give me the slip and got onto...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    Mountain lion in the dark at less than 15 feet. Was walking back at night from a wilderness area on a FR from some evening scouting just last friday(10/25). Cat was just off the edge of the downward side of the road. Caught his eyes in my headlamp, first thought it was a mule deer and then I...

    The BEST pad for side sleeping???

    My personal favorite is the Big Agnes Boundary Deluxe. Full time side sleeper and I still take mid-day home office naps on this thing several times a week.

    Leupold 4.5-14

    I've had great luck and success with mine. I have a few newer Leupolds and zero issues across the board. My VX3-HD Windplex 4.5-14 (30mm tube) has been great in low light/last shooting light situations. I have a older Vari Xii on my Grandfather's whitetail gun that leaves me struggling for...

    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    I'll be running the tent and stove in second season, no shame even if it's not needed. I absolutely see it as a worthy trade-off for the weight and size. Doing a solo trip so I use it more as a morale booster but also if we have a cold snap like 2023, the stove will be almost a necessity...and...

    Last minute Colorado vacation planning

    I live just south of Boulder so I might be a little biased but I think basing out of Boulder or up the Canyon in Nederland is the most ideal since you can literally go in any direction with pretty good ease, endless food options, The flatirons and easy but awesome hiking should you want a low...

    Bullet sleeve

    The FHF would fit well in your pocket if you took off the straps. holds 3 rounds of 30cal mag no issue. Talking like a cargo pocket or a side cargo pocket. I think any rounds in a front or rear traditional pocket no matter the case is going to feel bulky...IMO

    Kuiu Axis Hybrid jacket or first lite uncompahgre foundry jacket

    I personally think the jackets are in two different categories and you're looking for something that's going to cover kinda warm to pretty cold...I don't think either do that too well. The Foundry jacket is probably the best piece of kit from FL that I own. I've had some durability issues with...
