So I shot my White Ultra Mag today, shooting some Bullshops 460 gr. with 95 gr. Pyrodex P. Shot at 50 and 100 and things looked OK. So I tried some of the White Power Punch 460 gr. conicals and they shot OK as well, but not as good a group as the Bullshops. So I decided to shoot my Super 91...

Online Ticket sales will "likely" close on Tuesday the 25th or Wednesday the 26th. If online sales are closed, you'd have to call Ray Furlong at 720.415.5865 to see if he has any extras available. Our team works very hard to get some great donations and prizes so check out our Instagram Page...

I'm trying to find out where it says what the incentive is to apply in NM by March 15. I've seen several places where the NMG&F says "incentives to apply by March 15th" but then it doesn't say where the details are? Seemed like it put you in some kind of prize drawing or similar but so far...

Anyone else listen to the CPW meeting? I heard them talk a little about eliminating all OTC archery elk tags and going draw specific. I hadn't seen anything about that previously however more than 1 person lobbied for the commission to vote on it right away. It would become effective in 2024...

Anyone hear anything from archery hunters yet? We got word from a guy bear hunting our area in Southern CO that the elk were screaming this morning. We don't leave till Tuesday so I'm kind of regretting we delayed!

Anyone know of any camping areas near Trinidad? I know there's not a lot of public land there. The only one I see is at the Trinidad Lake State Park. We're looking just for a place to set up a tent perhaps on someones private property. This is for September. Any tips appreciated.

So I have the noted tag and going into this not super optimistic but I intend to give it my all. I tagged along last year on a 4th season hunt from someone I met here, as I was thinking about hunting this year. We didn't see any big deer or really a lot of deer but he did get a decent buck the...

I sent in a Nikon rifle scope and they no longer repair them and sent me a voucher for $652+ that I'd sell for $500 OBO. My understanding is that you can only purchase 1 item with it so it'd be best to purchase something for $652 or more. Must purchase at NikonUSA.com Hit me up if you're in the...

Well I think I'm looking for a new rifle as 2 or my normal ones are not shooting well enough and several gunsmiths I've heard from are way backed up. I don't rifle hunt a lot but have a good late deer tag (Colo. 20 pts in mid-November) this year and want something accurate at least out to 500...

A friend has a caribou mount that they moved out of a cabin and was interested in selling it as they have no other place to store it. Any ideas where he might be able to sell it other than Craiglist. He's in the Denver, CO area and said $100 would be a guess on an asking price.

I have a Nikon credit voucher that I received from Nikon from sending back a bad rifle scope as they no longer carry scopes. (not sure they even attempted to repair it.) Voucher is for $652.95 and can only be used for 1 product at Nikon.com. so a lens or camera body might fit this. I'm looking...

I've got 20 pts. which should draw most GMU's this year and I see a few of the RFW properties are above what I have. As I know nothing about the RFW properties, I'm trying to decide if I should wait till I can draw one of those or go to a GMU like 44, 10 or 66. I'm not a big deer hunter but...

A NR friend asked me about the general application and I've only put in for Limited units so thought I'd post here. I'm sure it's in the regs so I admit I'm being a bit lazy to ask but here's his ?. If you put in for a general tag and don't have points, is there still a chance to draw a tag...

I'm heading to 44 early Monday to help a guy that has a deer tag. He's had a few guys that were going to help him that all backed out the last couple days so not what he was planning on. I might wanna hunt it next year but haven't been there this time of year so decided to "help out" although...

I sent back a Nikon rifle scope I had that went bad and wasn't aware they no longer make rifle scopes. I was told it was beyond repair and they gave me a credit voucher of $650 to use on their website. Problem is, I don't need anything else other than a rifle scope so looks like I'll have to...

I have a 3rd season buck tag for those units and am aware of where the fires are/were. Curious what any 2nd season hunters in those units experienced particularly in 18 and 37 which is the areas I know best. I'd heard much of 18 is closed which doesn't leave me a whole lot of areas that I'm...

The FS has closed some National forests on the Northern Front range. Heard on the news last nite that there will be no access for anything including hunting in these specific areas. This may cause a lot of people to take detours as well I'm assuming...

From what I've read, most areas don't seem to be very active yet. I've been very early and just returned from S Central area. 1st couple days heard a few late afternoon, and this weekend we heard 2 bugles on 1 of the 3 mornings but not very responsive. Friends heard a few bugles a week ago in...

Heard from a "friend of a friend" that his buddy shot a 450 bull with his bow. Anyone else hear about this? Trying to get a photo but might not be able to if this is true. Guy I know took a 390 last year in the same area last year and said there were a couple bigger ones around. All I know...

A friend just got called and was randomly selected for a Manti rifle hunt. He has zero time to look into it so is looking at an outfitted hunt. He called Wild Eyez outfitters and talked to them for a guided hunt as they had a cancellation available. They'd stay in town and be guided...

Curious as to how many OTC archery elk folks that previously hunted the now limited SW and Central units, will be looking for new places in other OTC units? I used to hunt one of those units but didn't want to be stuck in 1 area as I typically hunt different parts of the State so will be...

Not sure how many are aware that a new bill (SB-121 2020) was presented in the Senate last week to introduce wolves in Colorado. I have no idea on how this would/could impact the 2020 ballot proposal for this issue if it passes or fails. At any rate, I heard that Senator Kerry Donovan (D) has...

Just got a call from G&F and said I was selected for a management hunt for elk. I don't know a thing about these but I must have signed up to be on the list. It's either sex and requires a limited weapon (bow, shotgun, muzzy). They said this is only the 2nd year for these hunts which are in...

Myself and a buddy have a 3rd season cow elk tags that we plan to turn in this week and possibly opt for the 4th season tag. If anyone is interested, post here and I'll reply when we turn them back so you might be able to snag one. With the new apps that target specific leftovers, it's hard...

I found in the regs from a couple years ago that May 1 is the start day for CO. Can't seem to find it in last years regs but it may be there somewhere and I'm blind. Anyone know if it's still May 1st?

LAST EDITED ON Apr-06-19 AT 12:15PM (MST)[p]Anyone know the difference between what is marketed as Muzzleloader scope vs a "normal" rifle scope. If it has turrets then I'd guess the difference would be in the turret adjustment drops but if there's no turrets, what would be the difference? I...

I also posted this in the Moose, Sheep Goat page. Below are last years odds for residents to draw a moose tag (bull and cow combined). They do not separate out the numbers for bull tags but generally speaking, odds are a lot better to draw a cow tag than a bull tag. 2018 CO Resident Moose draw...

Trying to find out whether the Type 1 tag will also include the archery option this year or not. Last year they considered changing that option after people had drawn the tag and eventually they allowed the bow option on the Type 1 tag. I was at the Denver ISE show this past week and visited...

Anyone else have the problem of their sleeping bag and pad sliding downhill at night? There's almost always perfectly flat areas. I'm trying to find a solution so any suggestions. I have a tarptent and have tried silicone and shoo goo dots on the floor but nothing sticks to it! Just bought...

Since I'm about to do some shopping SOON for my elk hunt, thought I'd see what everyones 3-5 favorite foods to bring hunting are considering weight, nutrition and taste? Especially lunch type stuff which is more challenging for me to find. Here's mine: Peanut butter in the small single serving...

I haven't heard much on the Expo fiasco for a while so thought I'd ask as I have been getting their emails lately to sign up! I'm a Non-resident and have enjoyed coming to the show the last several years contributing money to the local economy (hotels, food, $5 tags, etc.) However after seeing...
