    Family Trip to Alaska - Let’s Talk

    My family and I was just up there this past June and had a pretty good time. We started in Anchorage, went to Fairbanks (after my family picked me up in Talkeetna), then Back down to Anchorage, Seward, then over to Kodiak and then up to Utqiagvik (Barrow), and then home. A couple of notes: 1)...

    Thanks Aerosmith! I'm excited to just be spending some time out of an OTC unit. You know, you don't need a tag to come hang out with me!

    CO unit 501 archery elk

    Hey all - With opening weekend fast approaching, I was wondering if anyone out there is going to be hunting in unit 501 this season for archery. I will be there on opening weekend and was wondering if anyone out there would want to team up. I will be hunting solo and have some area's marked...

    I have a dirt old InReach (back when it was still Delorme) and I have had zero issues with it. I have taken it hunting/hiking all over Colorado and even climbed Denali with it this past spring. I don't have enough good things to say about my InReach.

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    The top is attached to the base by a mortise and tenon joint at each corner, so yes - those are glued in. Honestly, I was surprised at how sturdy everything ended up being!

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    Recently, I had brought back some old cherry boards from Pennsylvania that my dad had made from a tree on our property when I was growing up. The wood is at least 30 years old and I decided to make a desk for myself since I work remotely. The thing that made me proud of this project was the fact...

    Picked up a Savage Model 110 270. What ammo for elk?

    I have the same rifle and have put several different rounds through it. My personal rifle really likes the Federal 130 grain Trophy Copper. My groupings have gotten super tight with these and the retained energy is pretty awesome out to 500 yards plus. Personally, I would run several different...

    What coat/jacket/sweater do I want?

    I just picked up the Kuiu Kenai hooded jacket this past off season and used it for the first hunting trip over the weekend... I have to say that I feel like it checks all of the boxes you are mentioning. Super quiet, good fit, very comfortable piece. (Used it to replace a down jacket that I used...

    Food list for backpack hunt.

    Personally, I would ditch some of those sugary things and get something salty. It could just be me, but when I am backpacking for multiple days, salty snacks are something that I am willing to eat. Sure, I keep some sweet things around, but salty snacks keep me from cramping and just are more...

    Positive experience and good karma

    Of course! We couldn't have had this experience without his help. This man is a great representation of what a wildlife department should be. Stern when he needed to be but also a calming and teaching persona when needed also!

    Positive experience and good karma

    Yeah! Zach was awesome. He went way above and beyond and got to share a first time hunter experience in the meantime. I wish more officers out there were like him (though I have yet to have a negative experience with CPW) On a side note, one of the brothers that was watching ended up taking a...

    Positive experience and good karma

    This past weekend was the opener of the Pronghorn rifle season here in Colorado. My wife was fortunate enough to draw a doe pronghorn tag down in a chunk of the southern units of the state and we made our way down to an RV campground on Friday night with the family in tow (6 year old, 4 year...

    Best copper projectile?

    Honestly, whatever one your rifle shoots best is the best one for you! When I switched to mono bullets with my .270, I tried several different brands. The Hornady GMX didn't group well for me at all. Same story with the e-tip. I decided to to try Federal Trophy Copper and all of a sudden...

    How important is it to you to own a Handgun?/ Tangent CAR THREAD

    Meh, I could go either way. I have one but I cant tell you the last time I have used it. It just sits in the locked gun cabinet... I suppose it gives my wife a little comfort knowing that its there (and knows how to use it) in case some awful thing happens while I'm out in the backcountry. It...

    Has Cabelas gone down hill?

    Yeah, I hardly ever buy anything at Cabela's anymore. I used to try and find stuff at Sportsmans but now that they have been acquired by the owners of BassPro, I am a little less likely to go there. What sucks is that in my area, I only have those two choices unless I feel like driving an hr...
