The girlfriend cashed in on 10 points in Colorado for a 1st rifle tag this year. Getting in close enough to see them through the thick timber was rough but she got it done on the fourth day.
Water wasn't much of an issue last year with all the summer monsoons, almost all the tanks were full of water. The biggest challenge was all the grass being waist height and being able to spot any deer unless they were up and moving. The main thing we found to look for was the mahogany and...
These were sent to me from a co worker. I believe they were posted on other forums (one looks like monster muleys maybe?). Probably warranted that she is also on administrative leave.
Not sure if it made the news but I was told that the North Park pack recently killed 6 elk and fed very little on the kills. Does anyone know of any article that covers this?
The commission just voted to completely do away with the let off requirement in the meeting rather than change it from the 80%. So theoretically if such a thing exists a compound bow with 100% let off would now be legal. I don't claim to be an engineer or remotely smart that way, but I don't...
Yes they will now be limited, I believe starting this year. The issue of over crowding was mentioned in regards to this and a stat was brought up that surprised me. In these two units in 2020 the breakdown of archery hunters was 32% resident and 68% nonresident. If you are a resident and hunt...
It was an interesting morning to listen in. I'm also unclear as to why someone decided to open the can of worms of bow let off but oh well. I will note that it was mentioned that CBA argued this will be a slippery slope of allowing more in a season defined as "primitive". By my understanding the...
Yet again Colorado politicians are pushing us closer to being just like California. As recently as 2019 animal rights groups have pushed for the end of bobcat harvest in the state through a citizen petition of the wildlife commission, their petition was denied. Now they have their pocket...
Well my first coues hunt is officially in the books. Because of family and work obligations I was only able to schedule the first 7 days of season. Long story short, my girlfriend and I had a great time...but I missed.
The long version is: Got worked into a group and had a 280 yard shot...
I hope this thread gets around because you are absolutely right, OnX is not 100% on everything. I have found that their system is fantastic for who the ground is deeded to, but possibly lacking in other areas. In some of the areas I hunt regularly in Colorado I have found that they have several...
Well Arizona deer results have officially been posted for the 2021 season, as I am sure many of you know and are now planning your hunts. For me, I only expected to get my very first preference point for Arizona deer. What I saw on Friday morning as I lay under a broken down side by side trying...
Chains are a must in that area in December first of all. Second, pray for snow because unit 11 is almost entirely dependent on migrating elk from the east. Because so many others will have had their shot at these herds as they migrate most of the older bulls will have been taken, so consider...
Hey everyone! I have been reading forums for a while now and thought I should start being active, looks like this is the place to start. I live in northwest Colorado and will be starting to apply in other states for the first time this year. Any tips for someone new to the non resident game are...
Make sure that you are active in your local politics. Reach out to your local representatives, commissioners, etc. that is the only way for them to know what the people want.
When it comes to the people leading these attacks on trapping and hunting, there isn't much you can do to convince them...
