    Skeeter repellant?

    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???

    Unit 3/301 elk info?

    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...

    Different kind of tag help

    Folks, for those of you old fellers who might remember back in the day, the idfg used to issue metal tags that you put on harvested game. Like Alaska does now.

    travel restricted areas.

    Hi, folks. I have a few concerns about the "travel restricted" units. I hunted one a few years ago, and to my dis-credit, did not know about these units.
