    Sons 2023 Elk back from the taxidermist

    I posted these pictures in the original thread on the hunt and debated whether to post them on a separate thread or not but have caved in and decided to post them here. Super excited and proud of my son on this bull. He was going to shoot the first legal bull we saw and this was it. I think...

    3D printing terrain maps

    We upgraded our 3D printer to one that can print multiple colors and I’ve done some learning on stuff like LiDAR maps, QGIS, Blender, GPX extruder and converters and fun stuff like that and am pretty happy with the end result. This is our property in Colorado. Contour lines are at 100’...

    Help me decide on Kudu taxidermy form.

    About to drop it off at the taxidermist and struggling to decide on the form I want. Have it narrowed down to these 3 I think. Here’s my kudu. I’m wanting to get the form that will show the stripe on his shoulder. My kudu has a light double stripe that I think will make it on all the forms...

    My son's 2023 Colorado OTC Public Land Bull!

    Might be a little of click bait in the title but it’s not untrue. I’ve posted a few pictures and questions around the forum so some or most of you might already know the end result on this one, but I’ll try to write this up as one of my normal long winded posts. Not sure if anyone actually...

    Scoring question?

    So on the elk my son just shot it has an oddity where the tip to tip spread is the greatest inside spread of the main beams. His mains beams do the normal widen out then come back in but after the 5th point they flare back out. It isn’t a lot but where you would normally measure the inside...

    Another meat safety question. Elk not recovered for 24 hours.

    Okay. I've never gone more than an hour or two from shooting an animal to recovering it. This weekend my son shot an elk at 5 pm Saturday and we weren't able to find him until 4:30 pm on Sunday. It was 20 degrees or less the entire time and either dark, misting freezing rain or snowing the...

    Fattest bear ever?

    I’ve been getting quite a few bears on trail camera on my place in Colorado, but this one just seems to defy logic on how fat he is. Like a cartoon character blown up like a balloon. He seems to always be going downhill on that trail so no pictures from the front but he just seems like he is...

    Crossbows, lighted nocks, baiting and wounding loss…. Oh my!

    I think this story is the trifecta +1 of things that seem to get people riled up on this and other hunting forums. It is what it is, and I’m going to share it warts and all. Not the western adventure hunt we generally see posted about here, but it was definitely on my own. I think it is worth...

    Forestry Mulching

    I posted some pictures earlier on my thread asking about excavator mulchers but thought I would start a new thread because I think this is cool. LOL. I hired out a guy to run a skid steer mulcher on my property about 100 miles south of my house. The property had a fire 12 years ago and things...

    School me up on buying a 4 to 6 ton excavator and mulching head

    Okay. I'm looking hard at buying a 4 to 6 ton excavator and a mulching head for it. I had been looking at a skid steer setup with a mulching head but I already have a 55hp tractor and think an excavator would be way more useful for other things around than a skid steer would be. Also on my...

    Stopping for breakfast after being shot?

    Somewhere in the back of my brain I remember some Montana politician stopping for breakfast on the way to the hospital after being shot quail or partridge hunting with his family. I want to say his nephew or someone like that was the trigger puller. Either my Google skills are lacking or my...

    Male vs female dogs

    Okay. For the most part I’ve only had female dogs. They just seem to have better temperament to me and I can’t stand a dog trying to hump things. I have had one male that we had neutered and he was a great dog and for the most part kept the humping things at a minimum. We are looking for a...

    Let them expire? Wyoming Sheep points.

    Okay, coming down to the wire to decide to let my Wyoming sheep points expire or not. The math says that my 9 points are never going to get my 54 year old body on a mountain in Wyoming with a sheep tag in my pocket based on my preference points. My only shot is the random draw and those are...

    First ever guided hunt - South Africa

    We just boarded the first of 4 flights on our way to Johannesburg. I bid on a hunt to benefit the Wild Sheep foundation of Utah and won the auction but did some research and decided to go ahead and book with another outfit instead based on reviews and pricing. I chalked up the winning bid as...

    Wildlife Water Guzzlers

    Okay I haven't closed on the property I'm buying in Southern Colorado yet, but I'm looking for things to do to improve the habitat on the property and one of those would be a more dependable source of water. Talking with the realtor he really thinks water guzzlers are the bees knees and work...

    Tire Road Hazard - Yes or No?

    Just replaced the factory tires on my new truck after 30K miles and was hit with the decision on buying the road hazard warranty on them or not. I tend to buy my tires at Discount Tire so the warranty is good in a lot of places. On a set of 4 tires the road hazard adds up and I was curious...

    Looking at buying some land....

    Okay, this is probably a can of worms on a public hunting forum but I really think there are some smart folks here that can help me think through my conundrum. Sometimes just typing it all out helps me think things through so here goes.... I have been looking at buying some land out west for a...

    Chamber Vacuum Sealer Bag Sizes

    So I bit the bullet this year and bought a chamber vacuum sealer. The one I bought can handle up to 12"x15" bags. The bags for these are cheap, but they come in packages of 500 or 1,000 so deciding on the sizes of bags to use is going to be important. I was thinking of ordering 1,000 of the...

    2021 Pig Hunt

    We met 2 of my nephews at our hunting land on Friday night, one is 30 and the other is 15 and neither had ever been hunting before. I feel a little bad for not taking them out ever before, but they do live 300+ miles away and hadn’t ever really expressed an interest before. My son and I pulled...
