Elk .... Let's see them!!!
My 2016 Colorado Elk. Cow called in to 60 yards. What a rush watching him bugle at 70 yards and waiting for on open lane through the oak brush.- firefranco

RH, but left-eye dominant
I have the same issue. At 62 I am too old to try and change. All of my guns are right handed. As long as I close my left eye I am ok. No issue at all with a scoped rifle/shotgun (turkey gun) or my pistols with open sights. Does cause a few misses when shooting Ducks, Doves, clays, etc. although...- firefranco

When is 'old' too old?
Great post. Just hit 62 this year and this topic is frequently on my mind. As someone told me a while back "Growing old is not for Sissies". The extra weight around my mid section is more of an impact than it used to be. Aches and pains I never used to think about (damn "itises" arthritis...- firefranco

Kenetrek Bridger on Camofire
Glad you had better luck than I did. Ordered a pair last year from Kenetrek at list price. When they arrived they were manufactured so bad that they did not look like a matched pair. Even though they are made in China I can't believe anything like that could make it past some sort of quality...- firefranco

Hunting dog names
My 10 month old female GWP was named Willow by my daughter. She named my last four pups all females. Brittney- Skeeter, Chocolate Lab-Reese (short for Reese's Peanut Butter Cup), Llewellin-Olive,- firefranco

NM?
Applied for Deer and Antelope. Money and politics seem to drive the process anymore. Fish and Game Commission-happy, Guides-happy, Credit card companies happiest, Residents-happier than non-residents. Still a beautiful state to hunt and I have had some great trips there. Budget constraints limit...- firefranco

turkey hunting for beginners
Yes, the sound of your call carries further downwind than you can hear a gobble coming into the wind. It is amazing how far a gobbler can see movement in open areas. If you have just called he is apt to be focused on your location. I always call just before I crest or move around the point on a...- firefranco

Early Nebraska Turkey
A few tips that have worked for me. I have good success using Kee Kee and lost hen calls early in the season. Even a gobbler will come in and check it out. If the gobblers are not fired up try to cut and get the boss hen fired up. In many cases she will bring one or more gobblers with her. If...- firefranco

turkey hunting for beginners
I like to walk and call (troll) in open forest units. I hear a gobble and set up. Merriams will come a long way very fast. There are normally a lot of windy days in the spring, make sure you walk and call into the wind to avoid bumping birds.- firefranco

turkey hunting for beginners
Safety is first. Never wear any turkey-like colors. Red, white or blue. Full camo is best. For your safety, always set up with your back to a large tree or rock. Never try to sneak in close enough to shoot a gobbler who is gobbling or hen who is calling. It could be another hunter. Be sure of...- firefranco

CO Pt Creep Madness !!!
The main reason I apply for points in several states is to select hunts where tags are limited and you have the opportunity at a quality animal. For me it does not have to be a BC animal. I have hunted areas where at first light there is an orange hat or vest on every rock. Hate It! I have...- firefranco
