    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    I'm not the one asking for advice. I was simply pointing out the trend of CO residents on this thread lining up to tell NR's how easy CO public land was. Pretty insulting really to tell someone who is helping support your state wildlife agencies by paying 16X as much for a tag with a fraction...

    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    Another resident, I might point out, telling NR's how easy it is. Anyone else starting to see a pattern?

    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    Remind the forum where you live again... The OP is a non resident, driving roughly 1k miles and coming in blind. When and where was the last time you did that, and how did it go for you?

    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    Big difference between living in state and driving from states away every year. But don't please let that get in the way of your opinion. Maybe you can drive to Wisconsin or the UP of Michigan and show those flatlanders how to kill a mature buck on public land in the north woods? Shouldn't...

    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    Except those aren't elk, which is what this thread was about. OTC tags for public land elk in Colorado... flat suck. There is no nice way to put it. By the middle of the 2nd day, damn near every elk high tails it on to private land and stays there. I've literally watched it happen, multiple...

    Anyone else using StaBall 6.5 in their .300 WSM?

    About a year ago, I had the good fortune of getting a great deal on a .300 WSM. Before I bought it, I checked the reloading manuals to see what powders were commonly used in that cartridge. To my delight, many were powders I already had on hand, including a 8# jug of StaBall 6.5. I ran a...

    BHA taps Ryan "Cal" Callahan as new President/CEO of BHA

    Seems like a good choice to me. Middle of the road, common sense kind of guy who has never struck me as an attention seeker or self-promoter, but still has a personality that draws people together rather than divides. CEO's for non-profits, above all else, have to be good at fundraising and...

    First Elk finally

    Awesome story! Those boys will appreciate it in 10 years, even if they don't now. I see a lot of very hard work in those photos.

    SOLD

    I'm going back in time to my trusty old D300s and some manual focus Nikon lenses I've had for ages. Slows me down and makes me a better photographer. I'm just not very good at the rapid fire approach. And I don't enjoy it as much.

    SOLD

    Moving back to Nikon, so all my Canon gear is up for sale. 7D mk II is a legendary wildlife body, shoots at 10 frames/sec. and is still regarded as one of the best advanced amateur wildlife bodies available. 100-400 mk II lens is in the same category. Legendary lens. 1.4x Mk III converter...

    Need a riflescope

    Was going to suggest this. The Burris FF II is a great go-to scope under $200. Had them on many rifles and never had an issue.

    DOI RIF's coming

    Not sure any RIFs will actually reach the field. My guess is a lot of administrative folks who got "lifted and shifted" into DOI are about to get RIF'd, and maybe some early career & poor performers in the field, but if they follow the RIF guidelines (which it sounds like they are finally...
