2025 Colorado Bighorn Sheep Hunt
I wouldn't soak those horns like that. I think they will get stained. To get them to pop set them in a sealed trash bag in a warm place for a couple of days then drop them in the bag - back down- nose up- just they are in the cooler on a piece scrap carpet on concrete from 2-3 feet high. Do...- Sandbrew

Archery Bighorn Hunt in Southern Colorado
If you're seeing smaller rams with ewes there's probably a small band of 5-10 rams hiding out someplace else. I see you are looking at a ton of very high tree-line country from your pics. I'd look for steep avalanche chutes with shade, water and good feed. I'd also check cliff bands in or near...- Sandbrew

CO Anti-Hunters New Target: Bighorn Sheep hunting
This commenter caught my attention as well and I let @Oak know. There is a some pretty good science behind the harvesting of ewes to keep populations in check to limit younger rams pioneering out looking for new habitat only to cross paths with domestics. Keeping current herds numbers in check...- Sandbrew

How can this be possible? Colorado Unit 17 Bighorn Sheep tag!!
I bet Khunter has a couple names on that list of guys who have hunted or helped in S17 you should really get signed up. I was there a couple years ago and helped a first time sheep hunter connect on her first Colorado big game animal on opening day. We found a nice band of rams in the trees and...- Sandbrew

Idaho moose refund problems
This is the correct answer. I also saw a refund on my credit card the other day for no moose tag in Idaho and now it has disappeared as well.- Sandbrew

Can you make phone calls over Starlink?
Starlink has been awesome at my house where I have struggled with reliable internet and phone service for 25+ years.

HB-1258 Scientific Wildlife Management
Not a big fan of this seemingly minor change but it is BIG deal - In law, "shall" is used to indicate a mandatory action, while "may" is used to indicate a permissive action.
