Mike is a class-act. I've known him for 35+ years. He will take care of your son. Access to a lot of amazing country! I believe it is some of the best in the State. Managed very well. Good Luck!

The simple answer is never. I do keep an empty 1-liter bottle in the back so if I do have to wizz, I don’t leave shell. I expect after a few more years I may be in your boat, but I’m not there yet.

Definitely disagree with this. Especially in Colorado; there may be an area with really awesome topography, but if the weather isn't right or the hunt pressure changes...there may not be any deer. There is a lot of moving from top to bottom during rifle season. It is more prevalent in 3rd/4th...

Assuming everyone is on some sort of pad...I can't fathom why anyone would choose the ground over the bed of the truck? Safer, cleaner, contained, protected, etc. A Canvas Cutter with 4" pad is money. Grab and go. Before the CC, I threw a twin mattress in the back of the truck. I guess the...

Solid Logic. In many criminal cases, they use Bail as a way to restrict repeat offenders or people with a high probability of guilt. If there is a high level of evidence, there should be precedent to restrict/suspend his license. I don't know if that is/was on the table for this case and...

I wouldn't over-think it. Just take note of where the Elk guys are camped/parked and assume they will be heading out on the nearest ridge/spine and walking the ridge/spine top out. Finding a canyon or draw that is adjacent without easy access that a buck might be pressured into. Assume they stay...

If you are coming from the East, just make sure you are in good shape...especially if you hunt 30. Some of the most demanding hunts I've been on have been on 30. You can stay low and avoid the steep...but your are far less-likely to kill a decent buck that way. As mentioned, lots of OTC elk...

Wow, sensitive much? Glad you got a laugh from all us lowly "split hooved (not hoved)" hunters. Seeing and harvesting are very different. I would assume most don't walk around with Lion tags. Even if they did, there are a lot of scenarios when you may not shoot one...like if you are actively...

Yea, especially since you can just happen on them when you are in the mountains...how do you enforce/regulate that? It isn't going to impact the people that make money from sheds, it will just impact the casual shed hunter who is really just taking a hike. Not sure the logic here...

Define "huntable"? To keep with the Colorado theme...that is like saying that the Broncos will still be playing football after the 2015 superbowl and Peyton's retirement. Yes, they still technically play some form of football, but it isn't like 2015. Having a "huntable" population shouldn't be...

So, non-native like this variety of Wolf they are reintroducing? Also, the wolf didn't adapt and it did die...so both your points pretty much suck.

The hunting traffic in the mountains hasn't increased or decreased since 2019, but the recreational crowd has drastically increased since Covid. More SxS, more off-road groups, more trail runners, etc. Everyone bought outdoor toys during Covid, now they have to justify the purchase every year...

40 is way down, no deer there...better try 70 ;)

10x and sometimes 8x is my go to in the field. 15x is awesome off of a tripod, but can be a little hard to hold still in the field when your breathing hard. I've not used a 12x, but I'd consider your primary use and what you may or may not be complimenting it with. If you are in the...

No one will care…it will give them more excuses to buy another gun. Those scopes can be used on other guns. It isn’t the WB’s job to be concerned about someone’s past investments.
