Believe that buck was killed 10+ years ago and was actually featured in Eastman’s I believe. If I remember correctly, it was in the annual mule deer edition.

Hunting is probably in-line with everything else. $20k razors and snowmobiles. $100/round golf. Who knows on boats and campers. Diesel trucks… Everything is freaking expensive. Wish there was a way to add more critters but good luck getting CPW/USFS/BLM/developers/CDOT/etc all on the same...

More hybrid/random tags, but have a minimum point threshold that must be met to be placed in that bucket. Once that threshold was met, all draws would be random. Maybe that number is 25/30 now, with the thought that it would be lowered to 20 in the future to try and give the higher point...

I have a new found appreciation for goats and the terrain that they live in. I was able to harvest a goat yesterday. This was the most physically and mentally challenging Hunt that I have been on. I had some help from some great friends, and if it wasn’t for them, I don’t know that this would...

Thanks for sharing. Congrats on a beautiful animal and awesome picture. I am looking forward to the hunt and received some help from a guy that assisted with some hunts up there several years ago. I am planning to get up there on Saturday to scout for the hunt. With the holiday weekend, I...

I'm in. Made the call and gathering gear. Planning to use the holiday weekend to scout and just trying to find out how rough the 4x4 roads are. Have an ATV if needed but hoping to be able to get to trailheads with the Yota. Looking forward to the opportunity and a fun adventure.

I have 3+11. Looking at the draw odds, its definitely getting tougher. Fortunately, I have spent a fair amount of time hunting muleys above treeline in the San Juan's, so have the gear and know what to expect. I'm in decent shape so not terribly worried about that, I just have never spent...

Well I finally have an opportunity to go goat hunting, but have 17hrs to decide if I want the tag and 10 days to prepare. I live within 3 hours of the unit but have never spent any time up there. Any thoughts? Season dates run from the 7th to the 20th and just want to have a good experience...

I am. Still loads hard.

Older thread but wanted to join in. I shot the Thor 300gr out of my Accura V2. First bullets loads great but by the third bullet, I could not get it loaded all the way. Pushed extremely hard. I am using the .500. Any suggestions? The bullets I was able to shoot shot great. Thinking about...

Not trying to get in the dabate. I applied for this unit as a Colorado resident, simply due to the fact that I like the topography. I like hunting open country and I like to glass. It was just a buddy and myself camped in a horse trailer. Granted, it was the first year in the unit, but I was...

Seems like the rut was early this year as the best action was around the 2nd week of archery. Saw some rutting activity this last weekend but also saw some bigger bulls singled up in a hole. Several bachelor groups of 7 bulls already. Hard to say but the weather should make for good hunting...

Couldn't get through online. Waited on the phone for 20 minutes and picked up my 3rd season buck tag that I should have drawn in the regular draw.
