I have a hunt in CO next month and anticipate a LOT of walking, climbing, etc. I've been doing a lot of walking and hill climbing here in PA, knowing that it will be a lot more difficult there. Anyway, while hiking this morning with a pack on, I noticed some back pain and it going down my butt...
OK, there have to be quite a few people who have had this same issue. I drew a ML tag for deer on CO this year - a state requiring open sights only. My gun shoots very well with the scope, but I have to remove it and use the fiber optic sights on it now. I am now going to be 55 years old in a...
I probably "DVR" 15 different hunting shows a week and watch them whenever I get a chance. Most of the shows are on all year long, running re-runs from other years and I still watch them because in the off-season, if I can't be out hunting! Anyway, last night I got to watch the first episode...
Four of us booked a guided Wilderness Elk Hunt in the Thorofare region of Wyoming 2 years ago. The outfitter had good references, and after speaking with the outfitter about his camp, equipment, success rate, etc. we were sold on the hunt. The outfitter stated that he had 2 camps separated by...
A friend and I drew muzzleloader elk tags for an area in Colorado we hadn't hunted before. We were excited as the elk should be rutting strong by mid-September. A friend that lives in CO (but doesn't hunt much), got us some general information and we had a starting point. I then contacted the...
OK, I ordered the Onxhunt chip for my Garmin directly their website. The chip came in, and I downloaded Basecamp from Garmin. According to the instructions, I should be able to insert the microchip into the adapter and plug it into my computer to be able to start using the maps. I put the card...

I've hunted elk a few times, but in October with the rifle and not during the rut. I'm heading to western CO late next week with the muzzleloader. I just checked the temperatures in Rifle, CO (nearest town), and they're predicting highs around 80 each day and high 40's at night. Elevation in the...
I just watched the Easton Bowhunting show the other night with Fred Eichler bowhunting for goats in Colorado. He commented that it was his second bowhunt in Colorado for goats in 4 years. Now, I had a fair amount of math in college, but when I see that the maximum amount of points are held by...
As this thread implies - On Your Own Adventures, a friend and I drew muzzleloader tags for the area between Glenwood Springs to Grand Junction, down to Delta, then back east through Hotchkiss. Yeah, a big area with lots of choices! A friend of ours lived out there and was supposed to do some...
This has been driving me nuts all year - trying to find On Your Own Adventures on TV! I have DISH network, and do a searches for "Leupold", "Fresh Tracks", "On your own adventures", "Randy Newberg" and can't find the show! According to one forum, it's listed for Sportsman Channel Wednesday at...
I've drawn a ML tag for Colorado elk this year, and a few of us are doing it on our own. I've used my Traditions Vortek for whitetails in PA and Iowa with a sabot and pellets, however, Colorado does not permit a sabot and I must use loose powder. So now I need to find something that shoots out...
