Hello all, I know this is probably taboo, 3 cow seasons now attempted and no meat in the freezer, we spent 7 days in WY GMU 59 late season in Dec and saw lots of elk, but none left private, even after the Ranchers shot at them. Anyhow, looking for possible trespass fee hunts for cow only, or any...
Hello All,
I've hunted CO a couple of times ML and first season but never second season due to heavily pressured elk by then and potential for high altitude nasty weather. Our method is typically still hunting grassy clearings adjacent to dark timber in AM/PM.
My hunting partners can only go...
Had a whirlwind of a trip, my '15 RAM 2500 diesel SCR / DEF system had complete failure when we arrived into WY, ended up hunting out of a loaner Ford Flex! Managed to fill our 4 tags and still get my truck fixed and be home a day early. AND my brother tagged his first elk! Repair Bill was over...
My cousin who lives in Anchorage asked if I wanted to tagalong on a 2016 DIY public land moose hunt this fall. Of course I said yes without hesitating! The unit we hunted in is over the counter bull tags. The hunt was 10 days long, a trip so unbelievably fun, I will never forget it! Well long...
Hello, curious what you use for printing satellite imagery? We want a large print, laminated, say 36"x48" for our hunting area, terraserver offers them but $$. Maybe they all are, just like to know your experiences with ordering high res prints at a reasonable cost....Thanks!
hello all, I am brand new to Archery and planning a CO elk hunt this Fall. I've elk hunted rifle/muzzleloader, so time to make it even more difficult :)
Yesterday I shot 5 different bows at a pro shop all in similar price range and picked the Bear Arena 30, I know Bear isnt the most popular...
Hello fellow hunters, I live in MN and looking to do a 2015 Ontario hunting/fishingtrip. I know the bull tags are limited this year, and we are looking to do a combo fly-in fishing/cow hunt for 2 of us. I've talked to one outfitter who gets $2800 a person for unguided hunt: cow tag, small...
Did a September Colorado muzzleloader hunt and came up empty, though a LOT of fun. We tried a Wyoming late-season November cow hunt to try to fill the freezer. A lot of snow and a lot of fun, ended up being one of the toughest hunts yet out of six elk hunts Ive done. We were successful and...
Hello, we tried our best but no luck with the elk during CO B Powder season. Considering a rifle meat trip, any state, any late season cow options or ideas? Pm's very welcome!
Back in MN from 12 days in backcountry on Red Table mtn in 444 for blackpowder season. The two of us had quite an exhausting adventure, we set up spike camp at almost 12k feet, saw 4 bulls and a cow but 330 yrds was as close as we could get before getting busted. Most elk were down at 7k on...
Im doing a backcountry backpack hunt and new to BP, looking for suggestions on a reliable yet lightweight blackpowder measure and dispenser, and canisters to hold extra premeasured charges.? Using loose 777, 120gr, thanks
Just got my new CVA Accura V2, getting ready for CO elk this Fall. Plan to use 100 grains of 777, then hopefully sight in with120 grains if accuracy is there, and use Powerbelt PLATINUM 338 gr Aerotip bullets (not the copper PB's). Am I on the right track?
I just called CVA, they dont make the Accura MR with open sights and they are not tapped and drilled for them. :mad: I like the specs (weight), for my CO wilderness backpack trip this Fall. Looking at the V2, and Knight disc extreme, anyone had misfires with either one due to a wet primer, or...
We applied for GMU444 NR elk and mule deer muzzleloader, backbacking type trip. We Have never tried either one with a muzzleloader but we were looking for something different than normal rifle season. Couple questions if anyone has some thoughts:
- If we get super lucky and get drawn, can one...
Anyone hunt gmu 18? Suitable country for a backpack cow sep muzzleloader hunt? Looks like lots of public land, med to low road system which is good i would think
Would like to try Co for muzzleloader cow elk and pouring thru all the data on Co game and fish site. Have no pref points but that doesn't look like it will be a problem. Couple of us want to do a backpacking trip, we are in shape for it, and hopefully hear some bugling bulls, and learn about...
Just got back from first DIY gmu 24 CO season 1 rifle. We took one bull, over 2' of snow in 5 days. I had a 40yrd shot at a decent bull, broadside, firing pin froze and barely dented the primer. lots of learning but lots of fun, cannot wait to do it all over again!
Bit of a different topic...
Have a Co season 1 rifle tag and battling some heel pain for 2 weeks / sure its "Plantar Fasciitis", not looking like its going to heal anytime soon, its really sore in the AM. The profoot sole inserts do help alot. The worse thing is its keeping me from my workout...
