Anybody have beetles around Denver? How much to clean a skinned deer skull?

Just wondering if you guys know anybody who shot a nice bull over a wallow in unit 28. If so, could you send me a pm. I had been hunting a nice bull then found the remains of one that look like he was shot with a bow. Would love to compare notes and hopefully see some pictures to see if it's...

How wide is this buck. He doesn't have much else going for him, but he's the widest buck I've seen while hunting.

Have you guys had people take your pictures and post them to their websites or send them in to other websites? I didn't think that people were that lame, but after doing some research, I have found my pictures on a bunch of sites, with my name and info. For Real? Guess that will teach me to...

Man I love these things! 10 days away from the season opener, and I decided to try a new head. After hearing bad reviews about the flight of G5's, I'd always been skeptical. Bought a pack this week, and am now shooting 3" circles at 70 yds!! Can't wait to let one fly!

Anybody have any good suggestions for hunting videos that are high mountain public land archery for mulies?

Looking at buying this bow used. Does anybody have any experience with this bow? Care to give any pro's & Cons?

What would you guys do. My budget is limited, but I want/need a new bow. Would you rather buy a higher end used bow, or a low/mid grade new bow? Any recommendations on new bows that you guys have shot and liked that are not through the roof expensive?

I was wondering if anybody has a link or instructions on the proper way to bone out meat? I have only quartered animals and dropped quarters off to the butcher. Are there specific ways that you need to cut so that steaks and everything come out properly? Or do you just go at it, removing meat...

Just wondering what you guys have been experiencing for high country deer the past couple weeks? Seems the patterns are a bit different this year. I have spotted lots of does and fork horns above timberline but yet to see any decent bucks up there. For those of you who have been getting...

I posted this question last year and did not get a response, but figured it was worth another try. Does anybody know of anybody or service that can help packout an elk/deer in the Winter Park/Granby area? I will be hunting solo a few miles in and would like to have an option if I am physically...

I think this is the widest buck that I have seen in person. how wide do you think he is? I'm no good at guessing. Post up some pictures if you have some wide bucks. Doesn't matter if they score well. I think they look cool.

So I've got a dilemma, but it's a good one to have. I found a monster shed the other day. I want the other side very very VERY bad. If anybody knows of who might have the match, please let me know. All I will say is that it was found along the front range in CO. I think I might have met the...

I'm sure a similar thread has been posted before, but I have not seen it. So until more brown hits the ground, let's see all of your shed piles or collections! I know you guys do not like midwest whitetail hunters, but you should check out Tiffany Lakosky's facebook page. Besides being a...

I hunt in a high mountain basin either archery or muzzleloader season. I find deer around 11,000-12,500 feet consistantly. A few years ago there were always some decent bucks there and some great bucks another mile past that (away from the trail). This year I would see 30-35 deer per day, but...

This is a useless post, but it got me excited. My wife made the best Venison Tenderloin this weekend. It really makes me realize how great this country is and how blessed I am to live here. Go out shoot me a nice buck, bring it home and have one heck of a fine dinner. Potatoes left over from...

I want to mount my 2 Euro mounts to an aspen branch. It is already dried out and in good shape. Does anybody have experience with this? Should I shellac it, or will it last for a while without doing that? Advice? thanks,

Some of you may know this deer. I'd be interested in hearing if you do know of him. If you do, please do not disclose the location publicly. It's not a huge secret, but I don't want a bunch of random people showing up in the area. I just want to share, because I know how much I enjoy seeing...

I know the seasons have started in a few states, so let's see some brown on the ground! I'm always disappointed with the lack of posts in this section. So let's change that this year. I know many of you guys hunt whitetails, even if you don't want to admit it on this forum.

So most of you guys will probably laugh at this question. Are any of you guys using binos that are under $100 that you are happy with? Just a 10x that I can carry on all types of hunts, from backpack hunts, to antelope, to tree stand whitetails. I have been carrying a heavy cheap spotting...

Well my tag soup blues are in full overdrive right now. Friends keep senidng me their kills for the season, and I was greedy for antler size and came out empty handed. Who else will be singing the tag soup blues for 331 days and 23 hours until next years opener?

Has anybody killed a bull yet?? I was 31 yds. from a 300"er on opening morning, but could not close the deal.

I've seen questions like this before on here so I figured I would ask. Does anybody know of a service in unit 28 that could pack an elk out? After realizing how tired I am today from my hikes without an elk on my back... I'm thinking I should have that resource availble in case I need it...

Well, my first day was happening just like it did in my dreams. I had spotted 8 bulls 20 minutes after light, including the nice 6x6 that I got pictures of last weekend. after a 1 mile stalk, the 6x6 was walking into my shooting lane at 31 yds. Just as I got to full draw, a 4x1 came running...

Well, I changed my plans after my scouting trip last Saturday. I found this bull a few miles into a wilderness area. He is in an OTC Colorado unit and I hope to change that and put him in my house! But I wont hesitate to let an arrow fly at his little 5x4 buddy. Score is completely secondary...

I'm wondering how many of you guys go on solo backpack elk hunts?? I have done it for deer, like many have, but I have never done this for elk. I will be going this year, so we will see what that has in store. On top of that I have never packed an elk out so I'm wondering what tips you might...

I posted this in the CO section, but figured others might have an answer to this. I have been reading and not finding the answer. If you have a muzzleloader deer tag and a Archery elk tag for the same unit...Can you backpack in with both weapons to your basecamp? Fortunately I found a...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-11 AT 11:58AM (MST)[p]If you have a muzzleloader deer tag and a Archery elk tag for the same unit...Can you backpack in with both weapons to your basecamp? Fortunately I found a drainage that will be very suitable to try and fill both tags and I'm wondering if this is...

So I hiked back into a remote basin that I have been wanting to scout for a while and I was very very pleased. I found the biggest bull that I have ever seen in an area that I can hunt. And also the best muley. My question is, how long will the bulls hang around @ 11,000 ft. and is it possible...

Do elk move out of the mountains as fast as deer? It seems like after the first cold streak with some snow, the deer are gone. I have not spent as much time observing elk in these conditions and I am curious. thanks,

I'm still working for my first elk and hoping to put in plenty of effort this summer to get my best chance. Just wondering if anybody would be willing to give me some tips for wilderness areas. - I've looked at never summer and the smaller wilderness areas in this part of the state. Is it...

After seeing Coloradoboy's post with his hunting history. This got me thinking. Founder should add a section like the hunter challenge from this year except each user can post photos and their hunting experiences since the beginning. I think it would be neat to be able to go and find other...

Seeing as I cannot find this in the manual anywhere, I'm assuming you cannot do it. Can you draw a tag as a first choice and then purchase 1 preference point after the season. Meaning that you can go into every season with 1 point even if you drew your first choice? Or can you only purchase...

I was wondering if any MM'ers knows of anybody who raises cattle within 2 hours of Denver. I moved here from the country and want to get back to doing some farm work. I am looking to learn more about cattle and would love to volunteer some weekend time to get out of the city. In other words...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-17-10 AT 11:54AM (MST)[p]I am reviewing Colorado's elk success statistics and I came across something weird. What is the difference between antlered harvest and bulls harvested? for 1 unit it says 0 antlered harvest for first rifle season. On another sheet it, says 88...

My 2011 planning has begun! I have never hunted with a ranching for wildlife tag and I am looking for some feedback. I see the only zero pt. ranch is Four Mile Ranch. Has anybody ever hunted this ranch or any other ranch in the draw? I have never even looked into these tags so it's all new...

How many of you guys are shooting elk with 270's?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-16-10 AT 02:32PM (MST)[p]I'll probably take some heat for asking this, but what do you guys think about these guns? I'm just looking for a new cheap 270. These guns feel decent for the price, i'm just looking for any feedback from experience only. Not looking for somebody to...

Just wondering if anybody has had any work done by Earl Moffitt at Western international taxidermy in Golden, CO? I met him last year while hunting and was thinking about using him for a muley mount.

Just wondering what you guys are paying for muley shoulder mounts in the denver area?? I wish I didn't have to worry about prices, but I spend all my money on the hunting trips so when the trophy comes home there's not much left to spend on the mount. I have heard $485, seems to be right in...
