CPW 2026 Strategic Plan Input
I just got an email from COW asking for input on their 10 year strategic plan for 2026-20236. I’m not too hopeful for the future of hunting in Colorado. The “Who’s Listening” list (I.e. those who will screen the results) lists people from Prosono and The Equity Project. No sportsman’s...- bmontang

Colorado points question.
My group is in a similar predicament with elk and we are trying to decide wth to do. We are leaning toward burning them in 2027. Mostly because that is the first year the full group can make it for sure. We have a mix of older guys (dads/uncles) and younger guys (sons/nephews) and the dang... -

Colorado Elk Unit 41,42,411 1st Rifle
The parts of those units on the Grand Mesa are like a 4 wheeler convention during elk season. Access is very easy, in fact it is more difficult to get away from trails than to find them. -

Scope selection ideas
I’m not sure the 5.5x bottom end would work in timber as a minimum magnification. I’ll look into it more though. -

Scope selection ideas
Depends. Hunting I dial it at a setting and know my hold from +/- 200 yards that way if I have to shoot quick I’m not monkeying with a dial. At the range I make adjustments. I’ve been a MOA guy but a lot of my range buddies are mil because they shoot that way. I like Luepold plus their... -

Scope selection ideas
Speed leaving the barrel, flatness, energy out at range due to speed. -

Scope selection ideas
Mostly hunting CO for elk so when hunting under say 4-500 yards. Steel? Yes out to a mile or so quite often. When at the range I typically shoot with retired green beret snipers out of the 5th group. -

Scope selection ideas
I pulled the trigger on buying a new elk rifle. I landed on the Weatherby model 307 Meat Eater edition in a 7mm PRC. I have been shooting the 7PRC for a while and love its performance in the field and at the range. I used to shoot the 7rem mag a lot and the PRC cartridge far surpasses the rem... -

General question on elk
So we have hunted Colorado for several years as a group. Next season it looks like only two of us can make it for sure and both of us are thinking about changing things up. We travel from the east (Eastern Iowa and further east) and are trying to decide on what other state may make sense... -

Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024
I am carrying a Havak PH2 that was born as a 300 win mag but now identifies as a 7mm PRC. I have been shooting this PRC a lot this spring and summer and like the cartridge. Yesterday I was punching steel at 1,560 yards about 5 out of 7 shots out there. In total this rifle has about 250 rounds... -

GoHunt vs. OnX
I just signed up for the OnX research tool and unless I am using it wrong it is pretty disappointing. I was looking to see what units in Colorado I could draw with X points and It basically included almost every unit in the state with my points and less. I know I can draw a unit requiring 0...- bmontang

Base Camp Tent Options For a Family of 4
95 degrees? Camping? Nothing says RV with a strong a/c unit to me like that. I have a great wall tent but I will not tent camp in the Texas summer heat. No way I am sleeping outdoors in that heat. Just not physically possible. I have even thought about getting a window a/c unit for the tent to... -

Best Bullett for 7mm Rem Mag
My 7MM rem mag used to be loaded with Nosler 168g when the rifle was my dad's. He had a recipe that was a damn tight grouping load. Now that it is my rifle and things have changed (I shot some of his loads that were over 40 years old). I find the ol' girl likes Hornady's ELDX in the 178g weight... -

Congrats on the bull. I can't imagine being such a POS human being that I steal someone else's game meat. I would rather starve. -

Tell me about your elk camp canvas tent setup! Add pictures if you got em
They definitely don't leak, but I disagree on the "need" for a tarp. Looking at the tarp I have over mine, it has saved many small burn holes from the spark arrestor not catching everything. The canvass is 100% still good and the tarp has 10+ small burn holes. Now maybe the tarp wouldn't have... -

Unit 551 CO
Is it a private land hunt? The western 1/3 is pretty heavily private. The eastern portion is almost all public. Its steep and pretty rugged as it is where the Monarch pass crosses over the range.
