Back to the Pleistocene
James- Have you read Steven Rinella's book "American Buffalo" ? It sounds like you would find it interesting. http://www.amazon.com/American-Buffalo-Search-Lost-Icon/dp/0385521693- Brookie

CO mule deer question
I just came home from a Colorado elk hunt and we saw lots of deer between 8,500 and 10,000 feet. There is really no snow to speak of up high. A lot of the bucks we saw were in the stunted aspen near the mountain peaks. If I were you I would not hesitate to head up high. -
Any help appreciated
I hunt fairly near to where you will be going. If there is no or little snow,try to find a bench with a stream going through it at about 9,500 to 10,000 feet that also has good grass nearby. One of the most productive areas that we hunt has a series of beaver ponds/parks that the elk are always... -

Kind of dog?
This is Griz. 50% Chocolate Lab, 50% GSP and 100% death on birds. Someone found him in a laundry basket by their mailbox when he was a puppy and brought him to a shelter.

Hunt Talk logo thoughts

Bear on my kill site.
I thought about going to town to see if it was possible to buy a leftover bear tag after my encounter. Is it even possible to buy a tag in Colorado during the open season? This was during second rifle elk. My father had a big bear track him in the snow on the same slope where my story... -
Bear on my kill site.
Has anyone ever had issues with black bears getting into your kills? While I have seen bears many times while elk hunting in Colorado, I have only had one negative encounter over the years. I shot a bull late in the afternoon a long way from the truck. After gutting and skinning the bull and... -
What is your biggest freshwater fish?
That's ok! I never said they had to bite the hook. :) Check out how similar the tail fins are on the paddle fish and the sturgeon. They both kinda look like sharks without any teeth.- Brookie
