2016 muley hunt...help
Colorado offers a special permit for handicap hunters. You simply submit a form with a Dr.'s signature and explanation of the disability and it allows your dad (and you) to hunt AND SHOOT from the truck! If you apply for the 4th season hunt, the deer are in rut and you'll see them all over the... -

Colorado hunt ... Where to go...?
Watch a bunch of OYOA and Fresh Tracks videos. Randy tells you exactly how to look for it. Someone mentioned a Gazetteer. That's where I always start because it shows you public, private, blm and other areas. Then I'd hit the CODOW website and get some harvest data and hunt units. It's probably... -
Elk with a radio collar
This is a tough one. On one hand it would be neat, on the other hand it would be neater to have the research info. Too bad there isn't an easy way to get the tag number and track it online like you can the space shuttle or something! That way, if you let it go you could "check in" on your animal... -
buffalo bullet
If you look at the ballistic differential between a 308 and a 30-06 there's not a huge difference. You should be able to get within 150 yards of a bison and drop the hammer on it with your 180 gr load. Obviously the key is accuracy and shot placement. Make sure you're familiar with the vitals of...- Hawk4974

Copper Fowling with solid core bullets
The main reason I ask is because I have a great 168 TTSX load for my 300 WSM and I wanted to make sure no one had issue with it. So far so good. This Sat. we were taking out a 9" rock with vulture doo on it. We laser ranged it at 518 yards. It was neat to hear the difference between the 300 WSM...- Hawk4974

Pre-Pre Planning for DIY Moose
That's the kind of referral I like! It looks like you got a great bull. I tried to expand the photo but it wouldn't let me. As far as rain gear is concerned, I'm already trying to buy stuff in preparation so I don't have to spend another $2,500 and not know how it works. I really like the KUIU...- Hawk4974

Pre-Pre Planning for DIY Moose
We're both fearful that he's getting too old. He's a trooper though. We'll see how he does elk hunting this year. We made need to save the extra pesos for a guided hunt but that's not our style. :( As far as being wet I'm prepared for it, I just want to do everything I can to stay as dry as...- Hawk4974

Copper Fowling with solid core bullets
I have read on several different posts from guys saying that the solid copper bullets (Barnes, Berger, etc) fowl the barrel more than standard copper jacket bullets (Accubond, Interlock, Game King, etc). Is there any validity to that? If so, why? The only thing I can think is because the lead...- Hawk4974

Pre-Pre Planning for DIY Moose
From watching videos and shows, it seems that walking a mile or so is the norm. I saw a great video of a drop hunt where the hunters sat on a ridge and called two different moose in and they were able to watch it walk across the tundra from a loooooong way off. Pretty neat. I'm definitely not...- Hawk4974

Do they do that to monitor some type of disease? That's interesting....- Hawk4974

Pre-Pre Planning for DIY Moose
Wow, lots of good info! I see what you're saying about other hunters being around and the pilots only knowing so many areas to land. They'd need to have a complete computer software package in order to know where other hunters were dropped off. I have seen videos where hunters were moved mid...- Hawk4974
