Great picture but sad at the same time… Shows what was and what will probably never be again.

Now you’re the one over thinking this and again you made my point. The RF gives you exact yardage. Forget the slider vs gap. Take two slider guys, everything being equal except one has a RF. Buck at an unknown shooting distance except to the RF guy who knows it’s exactly 62 yards. Who has the...

Thanks, I think you just made my point ?

I’d like to jump in here. I’ve never shot a slider but I do understand what you’re saying and it totally makes sense, but I think it misses the point. Your example of 2 shooters shoulder to shoulder at a flagged… 47 yards. The shooter with the slider has the advantage because he can adjust his...

In my opinion it’s electronics. Take the electronics out of it and it would be a good start resetting what I consider fair chase. You say a compound bow changed your effective range from 20 yards to 60. Was that with a range finder? When I changed to a compound my effective range went from 30 to...

I’d like to share my thoughts on this. First off I support the ban, but I also don’t want this to be a wedge issue that divides us as hunters. We have enough outside influences already doing that. Also I don’t think anyone truly believes this law was intended to increase deer herds. I think that...

For work, I used to drive to the Kemmerer and Evanston area twice a week. I’ve seen it snow all day and there would be no snow on the ground but there’d be 12inches on the side of the telephone poles... ?

I think Bigstiff brings up something we all should seriously think about and that is, how much technology is enough? Where does it all end? I know personally I had no opinion about trail cameras. I don’t have any, but I have several friends that use them on a few of their favorite waterholes and...

I don’t think I’ve heard a good argument here, for or against rangefinders. If you don’t agree with Bigstiffy, At least present a good argument. If you can’t do that give him a personal shot... tell him all his kids look like his mother in law, even the boys... JK I don’t even know if he has kids...

Totally agree with desertmuley. Doe survival and fawn recruitment is the key to healthy Deer herds. I watched the Ut DWR hunt recommendations and its amazing to me that I did not see one region that was at population objectives. After almost 20 years of limited general licenses, which they...

My point about hunter surveys is I think that is where change will start. I believe success rates are being manipulated and are much lower than published numbers. If truth be known hunters would be shocked and demand changes. On CWM’s I think they should have to follow the same regulations we...

I don’t think you can believe the current published success rates. I know I have not received a hunter survey in the last 15 years and that includes friends and family. Also back in the day it was mandatory that every hunter had to stop at the check station no matter if successful or not and...

I think we can all agree that the current method isn’t working. I think the State knows the deer herds are in the toilet and they truly don’t want an accurate count. If the truth be known, Sportsman would be up in arms and drastic measures would have to be taken, which would cost money and...

Just my 2 cents worth. I think these should be included in the general draw. They’re not worth burning LE points on but would be a decent option for the general and tags are restricted anyways.

Great video, thanks for sharing, you gotta love the high country. Bucks and horses, doesn’t get much better. Can you tell me what phone adapter you’re using. I would like to get one for my IPhone SE and Leopold spotter. Thanks!

I’m no expert, but I don’t believe a cut in tags is needed to increase the deer herds. It seems there’s always been enough bucks around to breed the does. What I believe is needed, is a plan to protect the breeding stock and increase fawn survival rates. I’m not sure if you’re all seeing what I...

Am I missing something here? I thought population objective was set so that if population dropped below objective levels, by law the F&G would have to take steps to increase the population. That would mean habitat improvement and restoration, predator control, antlerless restrictions, etc. If...

Look at the North Park units 16/17/171. A few years ago three of us found ourselves in similar circumstances. We had 14 PP and were hoping to find a unit where we could have a chance at a decent buck. After lots of research I finally got turned on to the North Park area. Talking to the...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-10-14 AT 06:48PM (MST)[p]Coloradoboy, wow what a great post and it certinaly does help. Now I've got more things to think about. I've realy not thoght about unit 2 because I thought I would never be able to draw, even archery. Years ago when I first started putting in I think...

OK, so here I am with 19 NR Colorado preference points and I feel like I'm all dressed for the dance but I don't have a date. When I started applying years ago, the goal was to draw one of the premium N/W corner units but now I'm just chasing points with no hope to draw. I'd heard some good...

Me and my hunting partner will be in Colorado for deer season this fall and will be unable to use our Southern Utah (30) deer tags so I just turned them in today to the Northern Utah office. I don't know how the system works but I assume the F&G will issue the tags to sombody else. So, whom ever...

jwarren, thanks for the reply. I guess with the DHP when you return your unused deer tag by a certain date they automatically put you in for a random draw. So now I have the option for a tag in a unit I've never thought about or appplied for and I have until the end of March to accept the tag or...

Hey guys I have a question, how good is a Diamond mountain deer tag? The reason I'm asking is I drew a tag through the dedicated hunter program. I've never been in the unit but I've heard of it and the things I've heard have not been good. So if anybody has hunted it or been there and would be...
