Welcome to the forum Chickencoop96, my experience is there's lots of good info found on this site from friendly fellow members! I live in C-Springs right now, getting a deer tag requires being drawn for a GMU there are no OTC tags for deer in CO,. The preference point systems isn't that hard...

Kevin, try researching GMUs 54/55 right outside of Gunnison. I hunted elk in there and saw mule deer that will meet your expectations. I haven't looked at the statistics yet (recco you check for yourself before applying) but 5 Non-Residents points could put you in either for deer. Last winter...

I bought a 6.5 CM over the PRC when I was shopping for my 6.5 caliber. The availability, expense, and recoil of the PRC ammo (reloaded or factory) isn't worth it to me and I reload all my rifle ammo. My personal limit is to not shoot past 400 yards at game, and that is a long way. We're...

Here's a early morning pic that I took in my yard.

Gotta love early fall mornings.

Nice knife too! Looks like custom damascus?

For my 300 Win Mag w/26" barrel, I reload - 69grs H4831, CCI large rifle primer, topped off with 180gr Horn Interlock. This load isn't blazing fast but performance - dropped my 2022 bull elk at 440yrds right there.

Ruger M77, Hawkeye, 25-06, or Christensen Arms, Mesa in 6.5 Creed, get my vote. Anyone can shoot either comfortably and either is appropriate for deer/pronghorn/black bear/coyotes.

.338 Win Mag, with 250gr. Nos. Partition. Decent trajectory (don't take long shots at Brownies) will hit hard, hold together and penetrate deep. I have it in a stainless Ruger M77 Mk II, Sightron SII scope, bought in 2003.

OMG, those are insane, really awesome set!

Anyone who's lived here for 10-15 years can confirm - CO is already seeing declines/changes in big game populations in several GMUs. From what I've read, this is due to everything from the several year drought experienced in Western states to the increases in hunting tags by the CPW. I'm no...

I use a pair of the felt inserts for those winter pack boots. I prefer to wear two pairs of socks inside them. They work great (quiet), are cheap to replace, and provide a little bit of protection from short thorns. 2f350s: Hunt hard, hunt ethically.

Hi, Your post doesn't specify - but feathers are a must on arrows in recurves (rubbery vanes don't pass over the shelf or over a rest very smooth and porpoise in flight. If you're shooting a compound you can use either, just waterproof the feathers in case of inclement weather. 2f350s: Hunt...

Hello Wytex, I'm actually shooting Recurves, both bows are older Shakespeares - but are in like new condition (my guess is hardly used by previous owner). Since my arrows are on the lighter side of what's acceptable I may try to add a brass insert to get the weight up a bit more as...

Oh, thanks for saying that, I didn't realize NR were ineligible for RFW. 2f350s: Hunt hard, hunt ethically.
