I currently have 31 NR point and at 67 don’t want to see if I can get a rifle tag in the next 4 to 5 years, so thinking of doing the Muzzleloader tag next year (I hope). I am in good shape for my age (still go to gym lift/ treadmill) but still 67. I am only going to have one friend with me...

Looking for you opinions, I have 31 points and the zone I am after I think I can get next year if I use a muzzleloader, or it may take 3 to 4 years if I want a rifle hunt. I am 66 years old in decent shape but waiting until I am 69-70 not sure. My question can a person with no education on...

Buddy drew 76,77,79,81 late season Bull Elk, going to be fun. Only issues I have been hearing is a lot of bulls are broken off.

I am getting old and the zone I want in Colorado I need to use a muzzleloader (in 2 years so have time to practice). I have done a lot of searching and still don't know what muzzleloader to get. I am thinking $600+- and am hoping you get your thoughts. I know this has been asked a lot but would...

It was West Coast Taxidermy Studio in San Bruno Ca, this is my first mount and glad to hear the compliments. I have been waiting for the right deer and this was it. Take Care Mark

Yes it was Colorado 4th season unit 44 and its no secret

Got back from taxidermist a couple of months ago but just got on wall. Hoping a few of the guys that contact me this year post their bucks

I had a few guys contact me this year for info, hoping they will post their 2018 bucks. This is by far my biggest buck

Great buck, I sure enjoyed my 4th season 44 unit hunt last year and glad you got it done this year. To bad we will never have enough points to hunt it again. Again nice buck MDNDEER

I was 4th season and I did not see a lot of deer and did not see a shooter unwell we got snow on third day. I would stay high and in the thickets

Just got my buck back and want to share, cannot hang yet because we remodeled the house and need to work with wife where everything goes. Will follow up when I hang it, but want to share because this is my buck of a life time and at 61 not many chances at bucks of this caliber. Take Care MDNDEER

I had that tag last year and even though it was dry when we did get some snow I got lucky and found a nice deer. It gross was 191 3/8 with 3 5/8 of deductions. This was something I was hoping for from this unit(waiting 24 years/23 points) and I got lucky and got my buck of my life time. I think...

Went and got X-8, now to start scouting MDNDEER

I been hoping that I would hunt unit 2 but just don't know if I can catch up. Will never get 201 and possibly unit 10 but not sure of 10, I can get unit 61 but the reports make me nervous for a NS who would only scout 5 days prior to hunt. I am 60 so do have a few years that I can get after...

I have used on 4 African animals(Kudu being the biggest) and 2 mule deer all were one shot and all dropped or ran 40 yards at most. This is and will stay my go to bullet. MDNDEER

As ColoradoBoy said that we(on this site) didn't show good representative bucks of the unit as he does live their and shoots 200+ bucks. And he is right me as an NR show up 4-5 days early and don't have a true chance of knowing the unit. BUT if a 200 incher is not what you are after then I did...

Hunted 44 this year and got a nice buck. If you end up taking that unit I would gladly tell you everything I know. Did not see a lot of shooters.

To bad I didn't get to meet you up there, looked like it was a great hunt for both of us. Glad you posted the story and pictures. Take Care MDNDEER

Wondering if you guys get your deer scored? I got my deer of a life time and I did measure it and it should make the books(award) but trust me it was exactly what I wanted that was a large typical and score had nothing to do about what I was after. My buddies are saying to get it officially...

Just so you know when we did get back to camp and quarter the deer we did put it on the carcass that had the Nads attached. Putting it on the antlers as a whole deer not sure if I was legal but went with it.

Last April/May when I found out that I got drawn for 4th season in unit 44 and I got a lot of advice/opinions that made me think of what I was getting into. Was told that is was a great unit, it was over rated, weather dependent, small deer heard, don't shoot the first 180, weather dependent and...

I will be out there on the 4th season (took me 23 points), if you don't take it what unit would you be waiting for?

My first post of scores, lets see my guess. Left is 178(net) Right is 182 (non typical)

Is there a resource out there that shows different buck and their scores, I always look at the pictures on here and make my guess and would always look for some other sources to help me. I am bring a friend on my hunt that will be helping me scout and I would like him to be able to judge animals...

Assume a Chevy guy. I was told its more about the tires. Appreciate the comment. I don't make my own chains wondering if certain brand chain work better or can be adjusted better. I did hear about the brake line issue and am concerned. Thanks Again MDNDEER

I went and bought a new Ford F-250 and when I bought it I had to sign a document about not putting tire chains on it (20" tires). I can't believe that people are not putting chains on so I am wondering what you guys are doing. I looked at the wheel well and the fronts could possibly have issues...

I went and drew a 4th season tag and plan to get out there 4 to 5 days early and would love to talk to anyone that has been hunting the unit. Can't hurt to ask Take Care Mark

I would say 24" at 160

Have a unit 44 4th season tag, hoping just to see a deer of this caliber yet alone have a chance. Getting old so my standards might shoot something smaller before I see a guy like this. Beautiful buck MDNDEER

A couple of years ago I went to NB Safaris and it was a nice trip but a few things that were just stated above I did not see. Every animal we saw was a nice animal(per the PH) and we were never told to pass, wait the one large Impala we saw and we would told we needed to pass on it. I thought...

Hey YBO, last year I was hoping for 4th season with 22 points but I was 2 of the 5 that did not get chosen. This year I was still nervous with 23 points but did get the 4th season. I am turning 60 in a coupled of weeks and I was/am concerned about hiking the mountains like yourself so I am happy...

Looking at getting a new day pack and been looking at the Kuiu Pro 1850 bag. Have a question if you need the belt for this back, I don't planning on packing game out with it and not buying the carbon frame but the add for the belt is $125 and since this is just for my scope and day hunting gear...

Just wondering if you guys have received your tags and refunds. I pulled my deer tag and did not for elk and I have not received a tag or Elk refund. Just wondering Thanks MDNDEER

Looking to start buying maps and thinking of buying a BLM and Forest Service map, just wondering if there is something better out there. Thanks in Advance MDNDEER

I used my 23 points this year and drew a 4th season deer tag(unit 44) and in looking at the moon phases it will be over a new moon. My buddy does not believe in the moon phase thing and to be honest I don't know one way or the other. Just wondering what the thoughts of all of you with moon phase...

Appreciate all the reply's and here's a few answers to your questions. Yes I have been hunting and not just waiting for point(been elk hunting and buying landowner tags in 421?) What size deer? I have not shot anything real big, so if it gets close to 180 it's in trouble. I am not saying I...

I have went and used my 23 PP for deer and drew Unit 44 4th season and it had me thinking a bit. I am now 60 Years old, so I was 36 Years old when I started this venture(I was 3 x the shape I am now, not saying I am bad shape but does not compare to a 36 year old.) My 23 year old son was not...
