I just spent a weekend in Colorado. Nearly got carried away by skeeter. I drew an archery elk tag- limited- and can only hunt 1st 10 days. Think the bugs will still be bad in early September at 8500-10,000 feet?? Or- anyone have suggestions for odorless skeeter spray???

I sent you a pm

How is it I drew H with 3pts in the special? Odds show 4 and under were zero percent. I thought when you put in for the special, you were stuck with that category. Your unsuccessful app wouldn't be kicked out to the random. Am I wrong???

Very nice! The reason they finally got it done was I renewed my subscription. When they found out you and I were buddies, they got right on it!!??

Man, I feel your pain! Had the exact same thing happen to me in 2017. Bladder cancer, chemo, surgery, etc. Had a limited bull tag I drew in Colorado. Cost me my 16 points. Didn't want to turn it back, didn't know if I'd live to go again. Prognosis was bad- they gave me a 10% chance to live 2...

Oh, and I did see quite a few Montana hunters patrolling divide road. I think they were hoping to catch them crossing back and forth.

I drew this this same tag about 10 or 12 years ago. I don't think it's changed much. I went up the 1st couple days of season just to look around. But saw a ton of elk, and shot a small 6x6. Talked to a guy that said I should have waited til later in season. Said the bigger bulks show up down...

Very, very impressive!!!

These idiots have zero clue about REAL conservation. They're just sipping the feel good kool-aid in their big mansions and watching "documentaries" about feral animals.

Oh man, just saw this thread, started reading. Got more and more bummed cuz it went south so fast I figured the poor kid was aced out of a good hunt. First no scout trip, then primary area burned out. Then I saw the pic! I swear I got the same thrill and charge as I do when I pull the trigger...

Thank you for the info. I've only hunted the eastern edge on private land. Elk were plentiful there, during 3rd season. But we talked with many folks hunting public land that did as well as us. So thought I'd give it a try. Looking at the Colorado hunt atlas/maps, it looks like for the 3rd...

Folks, maybe a little help if you don't mind. Looking at land status on BLM maps and Onx hunt maps, I'm confused. There are tons of sections of "Colorado state trust- no public acess" noted on Onx. BLM just shows it as state lands. So even though these aren't private, still no hunting?? I've...

I got lucky this week on a spike bull! Last time I killed a spike, this rascal would have been a "herd bull"!! Yep, its been awhile! Bad pic, I know. But by myself, 66 years old, and getting hot fast- I just snapped a couple pics and dived in. Qtr, bag, and hung in 90 mins. Gotta be a world...
