    Worried,just wanna hunt!!

    Please forgive my presumption but I call nonsense, baloney and bullshit to your post. The premise is outlandish and absurd given the reality among hunters throughout the west. Why would you post such crap on this forum? Are you like twelve, or a paid political operative? None of my hispanic...

    Good that it was successful. Some "wildflower seed" mixes contain non native undesirables and even noxious weed flowers. Look to buy seeds of cleome, penstemon, agastache, ipomopsis, and various columbines and flowering berry shrubs like honeysuckles and currants. Flowers in the yard sustain...

    Yes! The Rocky Mountain Bee Plant, Cleome serrulata, is one of my favorite hummingbird plants. It's native across the west and tends to bloom mid to late summer. It likes shallow seed planting in more sandy soils and early rains to get it started. It's an annual but the seed pods can spread...

    Fires across Colorado

    A lot can change in the next month and a half before moose season. The rains could come and fire get under control so that the closure area will be minimized. I would wait as long as possible to see what transpires. The moose won't be using the burned areas so that could concentrate them and...

    Jet Sled

    Two years ago we used 3 sleds to haul my bull moose 4 miles off of Pawnee Pass. It worked so well that I'll always take one on my elk hunts for downhill packouts over snow. Last fall I used a sled to drag a pronghorn a mile across the dry prairie. I figured it might be easier than carrying...

    Backcountry hunting and extra ammo?

    Interesting, the fair consistency of responses here. I typically carry 11-13 rounds total while day hunting from base camp.

    Fires across Colorado

    From near our cabin south of Estes Park off the SE corner of RMNP, the Cameron Peak fire looks very much like that. We're mostly getting smoke from the Pine Gulch and Grizzly Creek fires.

    Wow refinance is great right now

    We've been debt free for 14 years but want to make improvements on 3 homes. Yesterday, partly due to covid distancing, we closed in the post office parking lot and did the signings on the hood of a Subaru Outback. The notary said it was his first experience doing it open air. We took $200K @...

    Fires across Colorado

    We've been watching the progress of the Pine Gulch and Grizzly Creek fires. The Pine Gulch fire started in the Bookcliffs north of Palisade and has grown to more than ~58,000 acres, one of the largest in Colorado history. It's readily visible at 12 miles north of our farm outside Palisade...

    Chest or Stand Up Freezer

    We run 3 freezers, a 16 and 5 cu ft chest freezers, and a 21 ft upright. I organize using cardboard boxes so I can pull out what I need without much digging. I like the upright much better for convenience, and when using boxes nothing falls off the shelves. I also like the floor space savings...

    Moose Calling?

    I agree with most comments above. I've called in bulls many times with my mouth and cupped hands alone. When I hunted moose two years ago I carried a simple flexible plastic cutting mat which is quickly formed into a megaphone cone. Works perfectly for projecting the call to a mile and more...

    Smoked salmon

    Looks delicious. We usually smoke a batch of salmon once or twice a year. I just bought some filets to smoke in the Smokey Mountain Smoker with apple wood.

    Some broken hearts never mend.......

    That is a sad story. Many years ago I climbed a steep mountain into a small but very elky patch of spruce-fir to stalk through the soft duff. It's a favorite place I hunt one day most every year. At one point I looked down to see a nice 5x5 buck mule deer stop broadside and give me a long...

    Kimber Mountain Ascent - My Experience

    Nice rifle, nice deer! I'm interested in a photo of your Mountain Ascent with the suppressor but I suppose I should start a separate thread....

    Kimber Mountain Ascent - My Experience

    JLS, thanks, I didn't know about the softening under heat issue. You reminded me that I actually used RockSet because that's what was provided by SilencerCo for mounting the ASR QD mount. I recently bought more Loctite for another purpose so that was on my mind.

    Kimber Mountain Ascent - My Experience

    Using three threaded connects probably does increase the risk of misalignment. Google suppressor alignment rod for youtube videos on using these to check alignment. They're pricey so it probably easier/cheaper to go to a gunsmith or NFA dealer to have your barrel/suppressor alignment checked...

    Kimber Montana vs Husqvarna

    Good choice. Keep the Kimbers and buy the Husqvarna.

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    Drawing my once in a lifetime Colorado bull moose license was the impetus to buy a Kimber Adirondack in 7mm-08. Lightweight and soft shooting, it's a joy to carry.

    Cow Elk Hunting Tactics

    Nice country. An aside, I noticed right away the pink flower on the bank is Rocky Mountain Bee Plant, Cleome serrulata. It's nectar rich flowers are used by pollinators like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. I go to considerable lengths to collect seed pods in late summer to grow it in my...

    Trashed

    Near our mountain home a few miles from Rocky Mountain National Park, a shooting area at an old dump site was closed by the Forest Service because of the trash and random shooting landing bullets in homes. It wouldn't have taken much for the FS to build berms for safe shooting, but no. Now...
