Bear calls: Electronic or hand-held?
Did search for this and didn't find it, so here's a question for folks: Does anyone have experience using an electronic predator call for bears? I see plenty of utube vids with hand-held calls. Haven't found any with the electronic ones. Are they worth the money? Thanks. --Dana- danadrums

Post your CO GMU 181 results!
Well, being the stubborn sort, I'm heading up to unit 181 again for 1st rifle elk. Haven't been successful yet, but I've seen elk come out of there, so I know it's not a dry area. I've always heard that you need to hunt an area for 5 years to get to know it. Hope that's true. This will be... -
