    Elk Caliber and Bullet Choice - 2024

    That’s been good medicine on elk for me: 6.5 PRC with 156 Berger. They rarely ever bounce off.

    Any winterkill area hunt recaps?

    We live in NW CO in one of the “winter kill” units. It was as definitely a very tough winter. On our shed hikes in May we saw probably 20x as many dead animals as usual. The town deer seemed to do fine. LOTS of dead animals on the roads in feb and march. We couldn’t get a deer tag this year so...

    NW CO, 2nd Rifle.

    Oh man! My son and I always laugh about “Cheech and Chong” - 2 dudes in a white F-150 who we saw almost every day during second season in Meeker a couple years back. We would be parking to hike, or just getting back to the truck…and here they’d come! Every time. Those dudes got around! They...

    Barnes 127g LRX

    I switched to these bullets in MY 6.5 PRC a couple years ago. Very happy with the performance. I get ammo from Choice Ammunition. Chrono’s just at 3000 fps, and I typically shoot just over a minute out of the X-Bolt. I use another load with the 156 Berger for elk, but the Narnes hasn’t let...

    ‘24 app specific questions Mule Deer rut hunt units

    I am burning some points next year. I have some specific questions about areas in the low-one-hundreds that I can draw. I’m just trying to sus-out which units make the most sense based on access and ‘23 winter kill. I’m assuming a PM conversation makes the most sense. Thanks in advance.

    I’m not saying this was the ONLY reason…

    But I’m sure it helped my approach!😂😂 And given my success rate on bulls, I’ll take every chance I get. I did have feelings about it though.

    Should rifle elk be limited?

    I just had an interesting conversation with an outfitter friend about this. I mentioned that I was hoping that NR OTC would be limited. She was very upset at the idea, and just could not understand why the state would want to “punish” NR’s, and that residents are “spoiled and get everything”...

    My son left for college this year, and I’m just here to say that this one is hitting pretty hard!

    Amazon has #60 blades for $13 per hundred. Otherwise you’re just paying for the Havalon name

    Sharing Hunting data in Colorado

    I think your first paragraph is the key to why people are bothered by these types of services. You want people to enjoy more hunting, and to be more efficient in their data analysis. Those are good things to want for people. I get it, it’s kind. However, a large percentage of people on this...

    Non-Game Species Encountered in the Field

    Technically it’s not non-game, but while sitting against a tree waiting for a blacktail a bobcat came bounding out of a bush and landed right on top of a mouse of some type. He was about 15’ in front of me and he just chomped that mouse up in 3 or 4 bites then just sauntered off.
