There is an apple tree across the street which has been loaded with apples. It is like a magnet for all kinds of critters BUT.....I have never seen a coyote eat apples...lots of apples. She looks like an old female that has had pups this year. I watched her several times over the last few...
This spring there was an explosion of cottonails in our neighborhood. Two weeks ago I counted 12 at one time in my yard. In the last few days I have seen just one........I knew they went in cycles but I had no idea they died off so quick.
Some will remember a huge bull that lived in Estes Park that got named Samson due to his size. The poaching law is named after him as he got "poached" by a complete idiot. WELL this year there are several very large bulls hanging out there and look like they might be direct from his blood...
I signed up for a premium subscription a week ago wanting access to the 49er game . When I went to log in they would not accept my pass word..no problem right...just reset. It has proven to be impossible. They are suppose to send a an email to your address...never has happened after several...
Are any of you old enough to remember when a guy named James Bond use to come around and show his wild life movies at high school gyms and narrate them ? He was prior to Gordon Eastman and I believe inspired Eastman to start his incredible wildlife films. I bought all of Bond's books and...
I had several red dogwood shrubs partially die this winter and they are bunched pretty tight. Stems are too big to cut with hand shears so what to do ? Went on line and was surprised to see a number of little chain saws offered. All battery powered and weight about 2.5#. I ordered one...
In my very old age and darn cold weather I have discovered a new hobby...back deck bird feeder. I put mine out about 6 weeks ago and thus far have burned up about 15 #s of seed and 5 #s of beef fat.. Yesterday I counted 14 different species. The neatest was a raven. It was only about 15'...
Our son just got his new Tesla truck. It definitely is not an off road vehicle but would make a great " road hunting truck...HA" The outside appearance takes a little getting use to but the cockpit is incredible. It will remind you of an F-35 fighter. Very user friendly and will do so many...
One of the ten wolves released a few months ago into Colorado was found dead a few weeks ago in Larimer County. According to a news release today the cause of death has been determined to be.............A MOUNTAIN LION. We need to educate our lions little better and train them that wolf is...
I got an email yesterday from Kansas Game & Fish notifying that the fall turkey season has been cancelled due to a lack of birds. A spring hunt is planned but Non=residents will have to draw a tag. In the area I use to hunt #1 the predators were getting really thick. Foxes, coyotes, skunks...

Having a hard time with woodpeckers drilling holes in my house siding which is a Drivet (sp) type (stucco over styrofoam). Nothing I have tried seems to faze them... Any ideas ? They are a protected bird so I can't shoot them and I live in a subdivision. Any suggestion will be most appreciated !
Some hunters are reporting unusual numbers of wasp & mice this year. WASP: fill a pan/dish with 3"-4" of water , add a few drops of dish soap and suspend a chuck of meat about a foot or so above this. You will have to empty this and re-supply fairly often as it will fill up with dead wasp. MICE...
To my big surprise it might be that the Vail-Aspen-Gunnison area may get them first. They voted for them now they may get them.. There is a good article in the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel today concerning this."Momma don't let your poodle grow up to be wolf food " is my new song.
I just watched a TV program "Small Town Hunting" with Keith Burgess & Chris Ashly. Keith shot a great whitetail in Iowa at around 330 yards with a CVA ML. He had practiced at over 350 and knew he could do it. My goodness that isa poke ! I never thought of over 125 yards with a ML. Keith said CVA...
