I really have desires to go black bear hunting in CO in the fall at some point soon. I have stupidly been paying for points for bears over the years even though that was essentially a waste of money lol. What unit do you guys like for a beginner bear hunter? I have read that the Gunnison region...
Can anyone tell me when we will see results for the KS spring turkey draw? Can’t find that info anywhere. All I can find is when leftovers go on sale; if there are any. Thanks.
Looking to try and draw this tag in 2024. Should have more than enough points for 3rd/4th rifle season. Looking to see if anyone has hunted mule deer here before and what your experience was in the later seasons. I have heard that they will work down toward private and this can impact public...
Quick question for you all. In years past, I have a very open ag field that deer feed into from joining timber that I don't have permission to hunt. There is quite literally no cover, but it is lights out for the deer to feed into it. Like clockwork. I want to bow hunt it more with a ground...
Hey all!
Just curious to hear from every one if you have started your elk season or when you are going this year? I will be headed out to Colorado for first rifle very soon. Feeling anxious, but prepared. How is everyone feeling about their trip? Let me know!
I have sourced everything I can to feel 100% confident on the elk antler point restriction for the unit I am hunting this fall. I am going to ask you experienced CO elk hunters as well. My understanding is as follows:
A legal bull has four points on one side OR a brow tine of at least 5...
I am going on a first rifle elk hunt this fall in CO. Of course, there is an antler point restriction for bulls in this limited entry unit. I have a quality set of 10x42 Maven binos that have been used on many hunts. Should I buy a spotting scope or a higher magnification bino set? I am...
For the sake of discussion...I was looking through the recently posted Colorado 2021 harvest statistics. There was only a 36% response rate for those that were surveyed on last years elk success/days afield. Do you all put much value into these statistics? Also, do you all feel that the folks...
I have been doing some e-scouting for an upcoming elk hunt this fall. I have one mountain that I have been working through that has good potential. The only down side, is an ATV trail that essentially runs the circumference of the mountain. This is a first season hunt and the trail is about a...
I have searched endlessly on the internet for someone with experience in this area, but I am not finding much. Before anyone tries to change my mind, I am 100% using my .270 on an elk hunt this fall. There will be no caliber changes. However, my gun shoots 150gr Nosler ABLR really well. The one...
I am looking for advice for an upcoming Colorado elk hunt. Myself and my hunting partner are not equipped to camp in the backcountry. I have lodging figured out that is "close" proximity to where we want to start hunting daily. For pronghorn and mule deer I have done the same thing in the past...
I desperately want to find someone that has hunted the first rifle portion for elk in 551 in Colorado. Unless something wild happens this year, I will be able to draw the tag. I’ve had some good conversations with folks that have hunted around 551, but not in it for elk. Do any past 551 first...
