Deer/Bear CO GMU 41/42/52
Hey All, I drew a bear tag for GMU 41/42/52 for the Sept season. I'm hoping to pick up a leftover muley buck tag for the same areas tomorrow when the tags become available. The muley tag would be for the muzzleloader season, which happens during the bear season, so I would be able to hunt with... -

Post your CO GMU 181 results!
Well, being the stubborn sort, I'm heading up to unit 181 again for 1st rifle elk. Haven't been successful yet, but I've seen elk come out of there, so I know it's not a dry area. I've always heard that you need to hunt an area for 5 years to get to know it. Hope that's true. This will be... -

Cow behavior?
Hey All, I have done some serious searching regarding cow elk behavior in the different seasons, particularly late/post rut. I've come up with pretty much nothing. LOTS of info about how bulls behave: looking for food, looking for sanctuary places, etc.. But there seems to be an assumption... -

Maybe this has been asked and answered already, but what is that irritating popping noise that is present in the background during the podcast? It is annoying, and I can't believe that it is deliberate. I also can't believe that it could not be isolated and eliminated. I listen to the podcast...- danadrums

Hi All, New to the forum, found it through Fresh Tracks. I have a deer and elk tag for CO GMU 181, 2nd rifle. I don't hold a lot of hope for the elk at that time -- the success rate is terrible, and it seems to be mostly lower elevation. Lots of BLM land, though. I was wondering if anyone...
