I got lucky and drew a 67 Second season deer tag. I live in Idaho and at 60 there's a good chance I will say farewell to CO after this hunt, and so I'm thinking about breaking the piggy bank and going guided. I've talked to one outfit that operates in the unit, but would love to hear any...

Would like to talk to anyone familiar with this unit during the elk muzzy season. Before people freak out, I'm offering to exchange info on western WY or eastern ID deer/elk (I live right on the border of the two states and have hunted here for many years), or Frank Church Wilderness. I'm not...

I drew this deer tag, but have never hunted or scouted the unit, or NV for that matter. Any advice would be much appreciated. I live on the Idaho-Wyoming border and will trade info on this area, also the Frank Church Wilderness for deer, elk, sheep. Thanks John

This is a dumb question I know but I haven't hunted elk in CO before and I can't seem to find the answer in the Reg book. If you buy an OTC second or third season bull license do you have to declare a unit when you buy the license and confine your hunting to that unit only, or is the license...

Does anyone know if there is anything specific out yet on how the proposed 2 zone system might work, which units would be involved, etc? I've looked at the F&G website and can't find anything. It doesn't seem to be in the new management plan, so I guess it is the next step, but people are...

A buddy and I are planning to do a 3rd season deer hunt in CO in 2014, and two of the units we're considering are 52/521. I'm wondering whether on an average year most of the deer are typically down off the public land and onto private by 3rd season? I realize this will vary with weather year to...

I've never hunted northern Idaho but would like to try a whitetail hunt up there during the rut. I'm wondering if the fact that unit 4 is muzzy only for whitetail during the rut means a higher percentage of mature bucks than some of the other rifle rut whitetail hunts in north Idaho? Unit 4...

What do you guys think of these things for a hunting rifle? I was talking to a gunsmith today and telling him that I really didn't like my Lone Wolf stock, as it is noisy in brush. I asked him about a rubber coated stock and he told me I should consider a laminated wood stock. He said the...

Maybe somebody can help me with this question. I just went on-line and put in for a second draw deer tag, and when I got to the confirm page and tried to go forward to pay for the application, it says "you already won in the first application". Is this referring to the first draw? In the...

Just wondering if anyone knows if peep sights allowed on muzzleloaders in CO? I use the Lyman peep on my Great Plains Rifle and my aging eyes don't do nearly as well with regular open sights. The regs say "only open or iron sights", but when some states use similar language they seem to couple...

Just curious how the late hunters did this year. Let's see pics if you have them. There were only 20 late tags in 67 as opposed to 40 in previous years. I live here and my impression is that few nice bucks were taken. I heard of one good buck showing up at Huskeys on the general opener, but...

I have this tag but haven't had chance to get up there, and have never hunted the unit. I'm planning to go up over the holiday weekend. Is it worth taking the muzzleloader to hunt Mud Lake WMA (short range weapons only), or are they pretty easy to find on the available BLM land? It looks like...

My brother is having trouble finding a recoil pad for his old Rem 700 BDL. He has ordered several from Brownells but apparently none have fit his stock (a couple too small and one too big). The gun was manufactured in Dec. 1979. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Thanks John

Just curious if anyone here had the tag and how you did? I did and put in the miles and came up empty. I saw a fair number of smaller bucks, but no older boys. It seemed that most of the deer were very high as we didn't have much snow - some deer were up just below their summer ranges. With...

Does anyone have any experience with the new Rangefinders with Angle Range Compensation (ARC - Bushnell) or True Ballistic Range (TBR - Leupold)? I'm considering buying a Bushnell Scout 1000 w ARC - any experience or knowledge regarding that model would be appreciated. Thanks John

I have heard there is some regulation about taking sheds across state lines - perhaps a need to have them tagged on something. I think it may only apply to Wyoming, but am not sure. Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Thanks

I'm looking for a camcorder that works well for hunting/backpacking. Obviously ruggedness, water resistence, battery life, etc. are important factors. Can anyone suggest a good one? Thanks John
