Colorado Cow Moose!
Well I have officially punched all my tags for the 2023 season! Not that hard maybe when there are only two. With family in town I had to miss out on opening day of the moose rifle season. But I made it out Thursday at first light. Thankfully the unit I drew is only about an hour from my...- D-Mac

2023 Colorado Mountain Goat
Well, my 2023 Colorado Mountain Goat hunt has come to a conclusion. This was an amazing hunt that I had been looking forward to for years. I began with several scouting trips this summer.

2022 Colorado Bear recap
I know I’m incredibly late on posting this, but I’m delayed by 3 hours in the Salt Lake airport so why not. I cashed in a few years of points to draw this tag, it paid off. I had spoken with some locals about where they found good glassing locations for elk, figuring that they would also be...- D-Mac

Colorado Cow Moose weight/size?
Hey guys, I have a Cow Moose tag for Colorado (up the Poudre). I have a buddy that has two Llamas, he has volunteered to be on call for if/when I get one on the ground.

Dreaming of summer
So we hit up a local pond today and drowned some worms. Nothing too crazy, just enough for dinner. Caught a bonus little large mouth also, threw him back to grow. Dreaming of warm sunny days and late nights.- D-Mac

Trout caviar? Why not
So we went out and got some rainbows for the smoker, one of them was full of eggs, figured I’d try rather than letting the go to waste. My Grandpa used to fry all the eggs from bluegills. I wanted to try something else. Hank Shaw has a recipe for trout caviar. Very simple stuff. They turned out...- D-Mac

Yellow perch in Colorado
Hey guys, I’m trying to target perch through the ice. I’ve caught some during the summer as incidental catches to bluegills. However, I want to try targeting them now. What are some good techniques, baits, depths etc. I stay mainly in northern Colorado front range (I’m in Loveland) so most of...- D-Mac

Grabs a little mulie doe a that co-workers car became intimately familiar with last week. We were able to salvage about half the meat. Colorado offers roadkill salvage tags thankfully.

2020 Antelope
This antelope hunt almost did not occur. This was a leftover tag. I am building points for a better unit with a rifle. However, my Elk and Deer hunting plans for September were falling through, so I decided to pick up this leftover Muzzle loading Buck tag. Now hunting Antelope generally... -
Northern Colorado Bowfishing
Hey guys! I’ve just begun trying to bowfish. I’ve gone out a couple times and haven’t had very much success. I do not have a boat so it’s all from the bank. I’m having a blast though, hitting up the lakes around Loveland. I have a few questions. What’s a good arrow to use? I tried one from...- D-Mac

First ever archery elk!
It’s taken a while to finally set down and write up a report from my archery elk hunt this year. It was a quick hunt, and successful to boot. Let me begin by stating I am by no means a proficient or even good elk hunter. I’ve always attributed what success I’ve had with tenacity. That being... -
Colorado Rio
Got it done opening day! Even though it was ridiculously windy, the birds were moving. Most of the ones I saw were with hens, but found a little group of gobblers working some sandbars. Called him in to 20 yards. Colorado DIY public land! First Rio, time to figure out an Osceola Hunt now!- D-Mac

MSR Trail Shot
Hey guys! Curious if anyone has experience with this particular water filter. How’s the flow rate? Longevity of filters? Over all experience with it. I’m running a sawyer squeeze filter now, I like it except it’s a little slow and filling up the bag is clumsy. Thinking about upgrading and I...- D-Mac
