Tires breaking down from muddy roads?
I've never seen that from mud. Rocky rutted tracks might do that if your sidewall were forced up against the walls of the ruts where the rocks could cut into the rubber ::confused:- homerj

Wyoming Unit 100 herd looking good
This was my first time up there so I don't have a frame of reference to compare with, but the browse and grass by the Lost Creek sandwash and where it crosses BLM 3210 looked pretty good. Most of the reservoirs had water, Bush Creek also still had water. -
Wyoming Unit 100 herd looking good
I was out riding in Unit 100 last weekend and was surprised to see so many elk in the desert given the high temps. I saw a bachelor herd of about 15 with at least 2 good sized bulls and a cow herd of about 20. Does anyone here hunt this area? It seems like the rolling hills and lack of high... -
CO 1st Season Rifle Unit 28
I've only hunted that area once before so I'm far from an expert but this area is really close to I-70 and the Front Range which makes it a very popular area to hunt. Be mentally and physically prepared to see a lot of people and hike a long ways to get away from them. 1st season won't be as bad... -
Kenetrek Mountain Extremes?
Mine were nearly ready out of the box. I was paranoid about breaking them in so I put about 30 miles on them pre-season, but they were great from day one. Ease your mind a bit and get started early, but they're great boots -
Colorado: Salida/Buena Vista area....... Unit 57/58
I used to ride dirt bikes in that area all the time, there's some good camping out there (I camped W of there a ways). There are a ton of tracks that you'll see on Google Earth/satellite imagery that aren't open for travel so make sure you have an up to date MVUM when you go. Delorme Gazeteers... -
My East Crazies Trespassing Trial
I would agree with your sentiments if this were a new trail, or an attempt to cut a new trail. But in this case the USFS believes this is a prescriptive easement that traditionally has been used to access public land. The USFS has maintained the trail. In this case going back to at least 1925...- homerj

atv use in Colorado
Short answer, USFS designated Wilderness areas do not allow motorized travel, BLM Wilderness Study Areas have very restricted motorized travel. Long answer: all USFS land in CO is "designated tracks" so if you get a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) those are the only tracks/trails that are open... -

You're all in the 2016 Sweepstakes Drawing
I work nights, so I wake up about 4PM and check the email I use for all of my commerce (amazon, online vendor orders, etc) while drinking my coffee. My stomach dropped when I saw an email from Randy with the subject line "Call me". I couldn't remember doing anything wrong but I couldn't think of...- homerj

Utah Limited Entry Late Rifle Book Cliffs
Congrats on a nice Elk. I've been riding dirt bikes in that area for years; lots of steep nasty canyons, gullies, washes, etc. Definitely not a place I'd like to be without water. Good job getting your elk and staying safe. -

Public Land w/ "No Trespassing" Sign
I've run into this on the dirt bike and I usually just turn around; it's not worth the hassle to me to be threatened by someone and I really don't want to be in a situation that escalates beyond words. My brother was on USFS land and had dogs set loose on him and a buddy. I've heard of worse...- homerj

Ice
If you have access to them the bladders that come in the box coffee that people sometimes bring to an office can be frozen to make a huge block of ice that lasts for a long time (4-5 days), and you'll have about 2 gal of water when it finally does melt. I can only vouch for the bags Starbucks... -
GMU 68 Col
I'll be in 68 for 3rd rifle but this is my first hunt so not much advice, other than try the 4th St Bakery and Diner in Saguache if you head that way. Good luck.
