Colorado 1st Rifle 2020
This will be my 7th year with that tag (cow or bull). 6 years I have come home with elk in the freezer. We have always camped on National Forest. Find a flatish spot on the side of the road close to where you access. Most of the elk we find are in small to medium patches of dark timber. I arrive... -

Cargo trailer feedback needed
The single axle that have its really easy to overload. Looking to upgrade to a tandem axle this year. We camp on a county road in national forest, but we've been successful last couple of years. I wouldn't go without a trailer. -

Flat Tops 3rd Rifle Help
What kind of weather do you get in the Flat Tops 3rd session? I want to take my son for an elk hunt but school sports get in the way 1st and 2nd seasons. -
When is 'old' too old?
Can't agree more! It was a pleasure to be hunting with him on his final days. Even my 14 year old son who was there with us, told me on the drive home, "That is how I hope to go out when it's my time" -
When is 'old' too old?
Not to deter anyone, but Grandpa die in elk camp this year of a heart attack at age 77. There was no way he would let us leave him home. Did cpr for 45 min with a guy from the next camp over. Routt Co. emergency responders were awesome. Only one guy on our camp had cell service, not sure what we... -
Cooking Tent
I have used an EZup tent with a tarp wrapped around it before we added a cook shack to the end of our wall tent. Maybe I should have been more concerned about bears but we don't like the smell. We hunt first season rifle and set up camp 5 days early. We do allot of cooking those days and reheat... -
Wisconsin First Elk Hunt
Check out The Rich Outdoors podcast episode 211 where Cody talks with Kevin Wallenfang. They go into the details of how it got to where we are now. It's a great listen. I couldn't get a kitchen pass from the wife this year to go to Colorado archery hunting, so I'm going to head up north and try... -
Anyone with a flatbed??
WYTEX, I'll be looking forward to trading this fall. Great excuse for a pit stop. If I can get a kitchen pass from my wife, I'll be out for Co archery, otherwise first season rifle.- Bahrtrap

Anyone with a flatbed??
Yeah, a little pricey. I might have to sell more honey and trade up for a bigger trailer.- Bahrtrap

Anyone with a flatbed??
I'm selling my f350 farm/work truck with a flatbed and my f150 with a topper that I pull a trailer to Colorado for elk hunting. I'm going to replace both with a f250 with a flatbed. Does anyone have ideas of how to secure stuff on a flatbed and keep it dry? And I'm not running a tarp from WI to CO.- Bahrtrap
