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...
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?
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
