Anyone else going?

I've been there a few times and found rattlers almost every time. One was a little too close climbing a rock in the dark and came up to a ledge and met one face to face. Well maybe we were a few feet apart but way too close for comfort. I guess it depends on your comfort with snakes if you want...

I'll be headed down the 28th and plan on staying a week or two! Most of the time sleeping on the rock. Good luck to everyone. May your arrows hit their mark.

Here's another vote for Stone Glacier. They are awesome packs. I use a sky 7400 for everything from hauling a salt block half a mile down a canyon to packing multiple days and heavy loads. It sounds massive but compresses down to the same size as my old Badlands 2200 when empty. The only other...

Were you ever able to check out some KUIU? It's good clothing!

thanks for the heads up! Wish I could go. Someone please attend and get this crap to go away!

I have a buddy that has RV hookups in town. PM me for more info. Other than that the choices are Mesa Hotel, Sundance B&B, or camping on the Kiowa Grasslands, or at Mills canyon. If your 5th wheel isnt huge I bet you can get it in the camp spaces at the top of Mills Canyon. The Pronghorn numbers...

Hey, thanks guys! I havent checked this thread in a while. We drew the Burros again for Coues so maybe I can find the Granddad of the one posted above! Really though there are 3 other guys going with me that deserve the big one if we can find him. Anyone else going to the Burros this year?

I feel NPS would eventually rule out hunting. They promote preservation and wilderness. The USFS promotes conservation and multiple use. Very different management styles! The USFS should manage the property more in line with most of "our" own desires including public access, wildlife, logging...

Congrats! Thats a heck of a hunt. I cant wait for the day I or someone I know draws for that hunt again, it would be a blast.

I would also suggest getting the horses in mountain shape and make sure you can pack one with an elk. If they are in good shape they will help you cover a lot more ground in the high altitude areas. She will have a great time I'm sure of it. There are a lot of elk in there, just make sure she...

I be Chasin Coues again!! Our group drew the Burros late hunt. Bring it on! I also drew a cow elk hunt that I didnt know i put in for! Damn dyslexia! Not sure how to make that one work cause its the same time as the Coues hunt. Nothing else green, dang it. Wife and son struck out also. They...

Oh, also you can down load a 243 with an 87gn Vmax to ~2800fps and it does an awesome job on deer and antelope within 200 yards. Get them in as close as possible, thats a big part of the excitement anyway!

.222 with a 60gn Partition The bullet exited on 2 of 3. He has since graduated to a 243 that he used to take a mule deer and a cow elk with in the last two years. Recoil is definately a factor for some people more than others. The most important thing to me is to not teach them to...

Oh, here it goes again. The OP asked if there had been an increase in applications and as usual it has turned into a bash the land owner, bash the non resident, and bash the game and fish session. Hey guys, THIS REALLY GETS OLD!
