The pack is ok for the money. My complaint with it is the buckles break way too easy when you have a heavy load! I have had my full curl system for three years and have had to repair the top zipper because it tore at the seam and had to replace every buckle on the outside. Worse part about...

They are making people purchase the license so it counts towards the Pittman-Robertson count to receive more federal money is my guess.

From my experience the hornhunter pack is good for about 3 seasons. In the three seasons I have had mine, I have broken three straps, torn/wore the bottom out, replaced the top zipper twice all with some of the worst customer service. I love the design but the pack is just not durable enough...

Thanks Buckhorn, I was using the boat tail with the yellow crush rib sabot as you mentioned. Are the blue "tight bore" barnes really easier to get down the barrel? I guess I don't wanna go throw another 30 down the drain if they are gonna be too tight as well? If they are easier, I would...

Ok went and bought the Barnes bullets and used some harvester sabots. After one shot it was almost impossible to get a second one down the barrel without cleaning. I shot 6 times and don't think the round circle on my hand is gonna ever go away haha. Anyone have any luck with the Hornady...

Thanks for the response everyone. I will give these a test and see how they do. Thanks

Anyone have any bullet recommendations for TC Omega (50 cal) using Blackhorn 209. I understand each barrel is different and that makes a difference but just looking for some starting points. I drew a SW Desert Elk Muzzle Tag but currently have my Muzzle set up for Colorado (was not expecting...

I had called the DNR on Friday but they indicated they couldn't give me the hunt code either. Sooo, I had to wait until Saturday morn to get the results. I drew a NR SW Desert Muzzle elk tag! Now time to get some scouting done. Pretty excited!! Good luck to all! Josh

I got hit for non resident elk (800) but forgot what the heck I put in for. Tried searching for the email but it is gone. If I call DNR will/can they tell me what I got? Thanks, Josh

Hi All, Was wondering if anyone has any reviews from the field for these scopes. Looking at the Mod 7 5-25x56IR. It retails for 1100.00 and was looking at putting it on my 300RUM. I have held it and it seems to be built pretty well. I like the locking turrets on it and the glass seems pretty...

damn it I thought this was gonna be picts of women but instead stupid deer haha. Looks to be 39 inches wide and 191.

a lot of bugling. been hunting pretty hard and still haven't found "The One". Seen a lot of bulls in the 280-310 range but nothing big. heading back on Friday, hopefully some of the muzzle guys have cleared out.

got a 76 archery tag, now gotta start scouting haha. excited

picked up a 76 bull tag as well. have my doubts about the system and def think they should make people use their points but I am sure happy I got this tag! cmbbulldog where you out of?

good luck getting rid of the vouchers. too much of a money maker for outfitters/ranchers and local communities. the wildlife board is who can change the voucher system (whether eliminating them/making them only good on the land they were issued for etc...)but guess who the wildlife board...

The comment period is over and now we just gotta hope there is enough opposition to get Hickenlooper to not sign the bill for the closures. If he does then litigation would start. It would only be able to be done by the county which is very expensive. Hopefully it doesn't get to that.

i too was excited to see the doe license cut on the Grand Mesa. have been needing that to happen for some time now!!! hopefully they do it for a couple years.

heres some picts of antlers I did. before after

LAST EDITED ON Apr-29-15 AT 09:23AM (MST)[p]hey guys what about chatting with these republicans who's beliefs line up with hunters and push for them to institute a bill that says the state is not allowed to sell these public lands? Is that possible? Or do you truly believe it's about selling...

I rub horns with short needle pine to get cracks filled in and then use potassium permangante to stain them up. you need to be careful with the amount you put on them as it will darken them pretty fast. mix it with water and use a paint brush to apply to antlers. I did 6-7 year old cracked...

There is currently a petition to Gov Hickenlooper to not sign this. The official public comment period is up on the 11th of May. Please go and sign the petition to stop the BLM land closures. Check out the maps and see how you might be effected. I know a lot of you are non residents but this...

Brooktrout, Another thing to keep in mind is that there will be no changes to the pinon mesa/glade park area. I assume the area you are talking about is up on the forest on the way to the Fruita Resevoirs? This will see no change from this. I agree that the ATV use up there is ridiculous...

Elkduds that is exactly how I see it as well as far as the private landowners and the outfitters. I have called the BLM and they are very vague on what a "permitted user" will be. But based on everything else they do it will be you pay or you have private property and you get to use the public...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-24-15 AT 04:52PM (MST)[p]Yes douglas area will be effected as well as 16 rd and baxter area how I see it. Here is an article on it in local paper. http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/articles/public-landuse-8232plan-intends-to8232-strike-a-ba/#.VSfl-1tuPRA.facebook Here is the...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-15 AT 06:23PM (MST)[p]Anyone who hunts or rides ATV's or uses many of the recreational areas in Western Colorado should pay close attention to what is going on with the road closures on the Western Slope. An area where I hunt will not be close to ATV access but would still...

I would support road closures if the roads were not originally there. Question on that though, what would be a viable time period for that road to be considered ORIGINAL or GRANDFATHERED IN? Also this question may be a little off subject but can anyone tell me if private landowners are allowed...

not the same Robert Bray from Grand Junction.

have you tried thor yet? was having same problem and ordered a sizing pack from thor as the Hornady FPB bullets were way too hard to push. Tried their sizes and ordered 50 bullets and went and shot. Way better accuracy and not near as hard to push.

same thing happened to me alinrut on the hang fires and no ignition at all with the bh 209!!! kinda scary when you have that second long pause then the bullet comes out or a complete miss fire. asked my buddy who uses it and you can just use a drill bit and open up the hole a little. i shoot...

I would go on the hunt. There is not a unit now worth 12 pts or more for that matter. I guess you could bank on the deer herd/population coming back but given the recent management history I would just go hunt! That really sucks though and I would kinda feel cheated. What did you end up...

I think so. I think it's more of a winter range thing though. I have areas where I use to see a lot of deer in some lower winter ranges and now all I find is elk and lots of them at that!!! I def think they will compete for the better winter ranges and run the deer out of the area. Just my...

so far

neither go somewhere else. both have gone downhill and if I had the points I would go somewhere else. these two use to consistantly produce good bucks but its been tough the last 4-5 years. just my thoughts. good luck in the draws and happy hunting everyone.

heres another of that little five. pretty neat little guy

heres some old white horns found

will also be in 61 with two buddys for the deer hunt. hopefully this rain gets em rutting a little bit!!!

LAST EDITED ON Apr-10-13 AT 07:55PM (MST)[p]heres some picts from sunday. screwed up picts

I thought they came directly from the NR pool so would they go back????? As a non resi I quit going after I heard that they are taken from the non resi allocations. I looked at this years winners and noticed only 18 were NR that got tags (not including the ones that are non res tags only)...
