Eberlestock J104 backpack. No rips, tears, holes, blood stains or any other damage or wear. I used it for several years, but I always take care of my gear. Unfortunately I moved away from Colorado several years ago and I no longer need it. I'm sure someone can give it a good home! I will...

Does anyone have any game processors they can recommend in the Colorado Springs area?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-03-10 AT 09:48AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Nov-03-10 AT 09:47?AM (MST) Nice buck, Jason! I wonder why those GMU 21 bucks never seem to have decent brow tines???

Griz - thanks for the compliment. He was a decent sized buck and I was very happy to harvest him - his net score was 174 1/2. I have no idea how old he was, but he is on my wall now! We hunted 2nd season and the guy who hunts with me also took a nice buck. As other threads have pointed out...

Here is the buck I took in 2005: Here are some photos I took at the processor in town on the 4th day of the season:

I hunted the unit in 2005 and there weren't really that many elk hunters as the majority of the unit doesn't seem to be a good elk area. The only place we saw that might hold elk was in the extreme southern end of the unit. We saw LOTS of deer everywhere else though, especially off Dragon Rd...

In my personal experience, all the CO DOW cares about is the almighty dollar. They will do almost anything to generate more revenue for their agency. I'm sorry that happened to your buddy. I know exactly how it feels to have the DOW take a giant dump on you. ...Since I know for a fact that...

I hunted GMU 21, 2nd season, in 2005 and I am saving my points to go back. If I was a NR and had 15 points, I would definitely use them on a 3rd season hunt. Here are some photos of the buck I took (174 1/4 net B&C), and some photos of bucks that were are the processor (Laura's Corner) on the...

Here are the stats from the 2008 season (from the Colorado Outdoors Big Game CD): DM02102R (2nd season) 226 tags available 147 residents drew the tag 61 res applicants out of 126 drew with three points (48.4%) 86 residents drew with four or more points 79 non-residents drew the tag 32 non-res...

I had a cow tag there last year. I filled it in about two hours. IM me for details. MSgt, USAF 1984 to present

My buddy and I used our Eberlestock J104 packs last year to pack out a couple of mulie does we shot. We each got our quartered doe out in one trip in our pack. My vote goes to Eberlestock. MSgt, USAF 1984 to present

A friend of a friend drew a RFW bull tag for Blue Gravel Ranch (Craig area). He went up to the ranch a couple of weekends ago to talk to ranch personnel about how the herd made it through the winter. Based on the info he received, he turned his tag in to the DOW and got his points back...

I think I'm going to re-think my shot placement now. As has been posted above, the high shoulder shot should put them down quick, and it's a fairly forgiving target area size-wise. I may lose a little meat, but at least I have a better chance of putting them down for good with the high...

I was wondering what shot placement most of you go for. Do you go for a high shoulder shot or do you aim behind the front leg and go for a lung/heart shot? I have shot all of my elk and deer with a lung/heart shot so as to not waste any of the front shoulder meat. I have never had them go too...

RE: The Best 500 Yard Laser Rangefinder? If you want to consolidate your equipment, get rid of your current binos and buy the Leica Geovid BRF range-finding binos. The binos are awesome and you've already read how well the rangefinder works! It's a much better setup than having to switch back...

The statewide deer tags are projected to be reduced from 83,678 in 2007 to a projected 54,283 in 2008. That's a reduction of 29,295/35% from last year. MSgt, USAF 1984 to present

A friend told me to check this link for the upcoming CO DOW meeting in Grand Junction at the end of the month. The link is for a PDF document that lays out every hunt code in the state for every species. It lists the tag numbers from 2007 and the "proposed" numbers for 2008. All of the...

The way I understand it is you had to have had a license for each species you are requesting a pref point for. No license last year = $25 fee this year. MSgt, USAF 1984 to present

Your application is correct. You are being charged for a cow tag ($251/Non-Res) when applying for a pref point since that is cheaper than a bull tag ($526/Non-Res). You'll get most of that money back depending on if you had a license last year for that specific species. If you didn't have an...

You have just asked the $64,000 question. Like was posted before, tag numbers are not announced in advance of the draw. Makes it a bit of a crap-shoot doesn't it? (Especially with the winter we've had.) I did read one post about the reductions in the numbers of tags in the Gunnison Basin and...

Another route is to buy the Colorado Outdoors Big Game CD. Almost everything you could possibly want to know about each GMU in the state is covered. I've been using their CD for seven years now and it's an awesome product. (And no, I don't work for them!) Here is the link if you're...
