Ok, so now I need a back-up plan because I'm a dummy.
That's a great option. Plenty of public land, OTC bull tags, and guaranteed fun. What could be better? -

SW Colorado Muzz
All good comments folks. Appreciate it. I'm very conflicted about leaving my old stomping grounds west of Kremmling in the Gore Mountains. I've hunted there every season since 2006. But a hunting partner that joined me there in 2018 talked me into trying some place new, and because he's into... -
Spring bears
Very interesting. You're the first person I've ever talked to with experience in spring bear hunting. Here in Minnesota we're concerned about sow mortality. Sex identification is important here. Our data shows too many sows harvested, and as a result, reproductive rates have declined in some... -

SW Colorado Muzz
'Afternoon elk hunters. I've hunted NW CO for 15 seasons in a row. All but one was during 2nd Rifle, muley bucks and OTC bull elk. My first elk hunt there all those years ago was with a bow in Sarvis Creek Wilderness Area. Three of us have decided to abandon my old familiar and happy hunting... -
Guided vs diy
Consider having it both ways. Hire a guide to get you to a drop camp and watch them leave and you can do the rest. And a week or so later they come back to haul out your elk. -
Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.
Packs are necessary, and as long as the one on your back fits and is comfortable no matter if it's a high dollar or low budget pack, you're golden. But there's nothing like going lite. Last October in the CO Rockies, I purposely ditched the Metcalf for half the season after a 24" snow event and...- Greenwood

Wow.....I drew the OIL North Dakota Elk Tag.
You guys hit the jackpot! -
NM Hunter looking for a partner/mentor.
This is a generous offer. What state? Depending on where you're hunting, it's hard for me to imagine being fed up from coming home empty handed after only a few tries. While I've killed many muley bucks in the Colorado Rockies in 15 seasons of hunting there, and some real dandies to boot, I...- Greenwood

Spring bears
Spring bear hunting isn't allowed in Minnesota. I'm thinking that hunting spring bears might be easier than it is in the fall. Springtime food sources are far less reliable and plentiful in the spring when compared to autumn, and I would have to believe that for hunters hunting spring bears over... -
Down puffy vs sitka high country hoody (synthetic)
I like my Kelvin Lite down jacket . . . but don't wear it as an outside garment if you plan to bust brush. While I haven't tested this theory, I won't risk it.- Greenwood

Closing the gap on Turkey advice
Consider adding a jake decoy to your set-up. You don't need to spend an arm and a leg for one either. Here in northern Minnesota, all I have for decoys is a jake and two cheap hen dekes. Every gobbler and jake that I've killed always zero in on the jake. As far as calling, a very effective call...- Greenwood

Who Else Is Stoked for 2021 Season!?
Always excited and looking at the calendar . . . gearing up, conditioning, e-scouting. This year it's a new GMU in CO. After 15 seasons hunting 2nd Rifle muleys and elk in NW CO, we're heading to SW CO's GMU 78 for muzz season. New country, but experiencing some apprehension in leaving my old...- Greenwood
