Chase him down and run him over with a SxS, what state are we in?

To think no way no how CWD cannot jump to humans eventually would be quite naive.

The OP must be a resident. Last year D-M-044-O2-R took 16pts for NR, 2 out of 7 with 16 drew. He said he has more than enough points with 15, so safe to assume he is a resident? Only takes 5 or 6 for a RES to draw that tag. If he is a nonresident he will likely not draw. Last year it was a...

It is true, just look at... well, everything. The only thing that matters is who creates the most compelling narrative. Truth no longer exists, and for those who try to find it, nobody really cares. Anti hunters and non hunters are the overwhelming majority, they create the narrative. It...

We live in a post truth world, and whoever creates the best narrative wins. Nobody cares that you can identify that this "isnt really about hunting". Congrats, youre so smart. The whole "youre playing into the narrative" is irrelevant and pointless. Hunters are a very small percentage of...

Steamboat radio is reporting that 2 of the released collared wolves have joined up with the 2 remaining north park wolves. Calving season is about to get interesting.

Nice looking mount. A lot of taxidermists these days are really taking the "squinting/peering/looking" eye to an extreme that doesnt look right. This one does not, very natural looking. I like it.

about a decade ago I had some hunting clients that would base their annual archery elk hunt almost SOLELY around which week in september had the "best" moon phase. They jumped around and switched weeks every year, and never killed anything (couple arrows slung, wounded unrecovered). The guys...

This is definitely true in some areas. The winter range I watch is pounded by road hunters 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The deer are everywhere down low, but youll hardly see anything bigger than a 3.5yr old. Up above is a large, relatively roadless mountain with lots of private. Drive around during...

Snow and cold gets em up. Warm and mild puts em down. Think about it like this: Youre walking around all day in a heavy winter coat, just a few weeks ago it was hot, and you didnt have this winter coat. You cannot take the coat off, its part of you. Then it snows 18"and turns frigid! BUT...

True! This is a terrible time of year to live in Colorado, I cant even look at animals thru the scope without fear of persecution. Mostly on the social media Im seeing a free for all in Utah with a lot of NONRES and RES shed hunting "influencers" chasing down every shed they can find, creating...

Within 5 years a lot of western states will probably have shed hunting restrictions of some kind, the instagram shed hunters are blowing it up. A lot of FOMO and greed running around out there.

Great looking buck. unfortunately 2020 might as well be 20 years ago in most areas right now. A lot of damage done to the Colorado Mule Deer herds under the current 5 year season structure + 2023 Winter.

Currently as things are, you have almost just as good a chance of seeing a 170+ class buck on certain 2nd choice 2nd season tags as you do in the gunnison basin or a lot of other units that take 10+ points to draw a 3rd or 4th. If its 170 or bust for you, prepare for disappointment. This issue...

Well, since we actually have numbers to go along with the rear view... just my gut feeling without running any "mental calculations" 28" outside spread 179" Gross
