The 2022 plans were for my daughter and I to go to Colorado and hunt elk. I bought equipment and drew tags for both of us to have a bull tag, and then we started exercising and training. Well I had an accident a month before we were scheduled to leave and we had to cancel...
For the 2023/24 deer season here in MS I’ve decided to change up my usual hunting style a bit. I’m going to hunt with my grandmothers Remington 1100 3” magnum…and only that during gun season!
After my tree stand fall last year I hunted on the ground hidden in the thickets and had fun doing it...
My Grandfather and Grandmother both left me their guns after passing. Actually, I got them when they were no longer able to use them. They only owned shotguns and a couple 22’s and I never use them. I’ve had them in my safe for almost twenty years. How often should I be cleaning or at least...
Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with either rebuilding or having an outboard motor rebuilt.
My 08 Yamaha 150 2 stroke went down on me this past weekend. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth rebuilding the power head (the lower unit was replaced last spring) or spending the...
I’ve got an old Connecticut Valley Arms .45 cal muzzleloader that my grandmother bought as a kit. She stained the wood and put it together but she never got a chance to take a deer with it. I’ve had it for 20 years and it’s probably been 30 since it was shot. Question is…can it be cleaned up and...
I bought this little girl for my daughter when she moved into her first apartment. Her name was Sadie!
She was a companion to my daughter through some hard times and my daughter has always said she was like a child to her.
Well tonight when she let her out to do her business and she took off...
Doctor lifted all restrictions on me after back surgery so instead of sitting in the house and being bored I went all red neck on my deer cart!
My daughter got a scooter for Xmas that hasn’t worked in at least 10 years and I tore it apart. Took the motor off and back wheel and junked the rest...
I’ve had a lot of time on my hands the last month and have been reading and watching hunting videos and everything related to hunting and the outdoors.
I like Ron Spomer and his many videos on firearms and the many different calibers available. A recent video I watched was titled “One gun to...
I’ve mentioned this on other threads but just need to say it again to be sure everyone who I can get to reads it.
On September 26th my, wife, daughter, and I decided to go give our hunting spots and tree stands a once over before the coming deer season. I had been so focused on the 2nd season...
I know this has probably been answered but I have slightly different circumstances I would imagine. I’m one week out of having 2 rods and 10 screws put into my spine from a tree stand collapse on me last week ago Sunday. Just as a reference I have an incision from the middle of my shoulder...
We’ll guys I’ve been planning and waiting for this 2nd season elk hunt for two years. I have to say it was stupidity that put and end to it. Sunday afternoon I climbed up a 19’ ladder stand and the strap at the top broke. I fell as far as it was tall and shattered my L2 and L3 vertebrae. So elk...
Where is the best place to find road closure information for Colorado? My daughter and I have elk tags for the 2nd rifle season. I’ve looked at some of the maps on the National Forrest website at it seems there all open around and in my unit. Do they update those often as the weather changes and...
I’m going on my first elk hunt in Colorado this fall. 2nd season rifle hunt. I have a Kodiak Flexbow and a wood stove. I have a TideWe frame pack too. The rifles are sufficient and hopefully the ammo will do the job if we find something to shoot at. I don’t have expensive name brand elk hunting...
I’m not a guy who buys a new gun very often. My 30-06 Remington 700 is almost 35 years old and accuracy is not that great anymore. My main rifle is a single shot H&R 444 marlin I bought ten years ago that I deer hunt with ( I don’t have to track deer anymore after the shot!) I decided to start...
I’m sitting here going over draw odds in CO on gohunt. I have good odds of getting a bull tag in both second and third season in the units I’m looking at, but the cow tag for my daughter the odds are only good for the 2nd season in the same unit I want to put in for the bull tag. My question is...
I’m looking for recommendations on a good tent that won’t break the budget for a late season elk hunt. We plan to set up tent at the truck and hike in each morning to hunt. It’s my first year to hunt elk and I don’t want to get too much money invested before I try it out. So should I get a tipi...
I want to start hunting elk next year. From the google machine I’m thinking Colorado is my best first choice. My hunting experience is for whitetail deer and small game. For my first introduction into elk hunting I was thinking an otc cow tag with rifle. There’s so much information on the web it...
