As a kid i remember thinking all time if i just step in front of this semi pain will be over. Or when fishing if i just wrap that anchor rope around my...

    Which bull would you take?

    I'd try for #2 but closer than 500 yards. If it didn't work out, oh well I still have 5 days. Seeing these two bulls opening morning, its a good unit I will have more chances.. :) Mntman "Hunting is where you prove yourself"

    Advice for my daughter and wife?

    when a comment starts out with not asking for your honey hole you know its going to be good.... :D FYI there are units in CO that you can actually do that on public land with 1 point. Not too long ago, you could have got it as a leftover had you been early in line. Mntman "Hunting is where...

    What help would you take?

    Would just be me and Dad, He can't hike much so mostly camp cook and show up for pictures :) Would not accept help from guide, cause personally I'd feel my hunt would be tarnished. I have the mentality that "I can do it" with nearly every thing in life. If I was required to have a guide (law)...

    Scenario on the Mountain ... What do you do?

    its all public land/animals. I'd go after it too, however I wouldn't cut in front if he is already stalking him. When I found him and first guy of course I'm going after him. With that said if I had another buck/bull that was nearly equal, I'd try for him first just to get away from other...

    Unit 66 deer 2nd season

    If you can scout a lot, I prefer 2nd season. The bucks are still in a pattern and you know where they will be and when. 3rd season the patterns are breaking up some days they keep them some days they don't. Also, I have figured out that bucks in the same area keep same patterns. The younger...

    Reading Draw Results

    The only way someone with fewer points than someone else draws is due to the higher point holder putting in as a group with a lower point holder. So if a 9 point person puts in with a 3 point person, and it takes 7 points to draw. The 9 point person will never draw due to his points actually...

    Colorado Unit 28 General information

    could be anything, the couple years I spent in there, I seen snow collecting a couple times in early September at/above tree line. Sure it didn't stay but possible. Some nights were 40+ degrees and over 70 in day time. So variable, you will have to be prepared for a wide range, lowest likely...

    Colorado Unit 28 General information

    If your and your son are not complaining every step in that unit your odds of filling tags are greatly reduced. What I mean is if you are following the easy trails where everyone else goes not many animals. I think its better for elk than deer, however with that said I wasn't looking for deer. I...

    The Consequences

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-23-17 AT 10:08AM (MST)[p]That is crap, I'd lie too. Then after I was hired and beyond probation period everyone would know I was a hunter.

    res vs nr prices

    I know I am possibly one of about .01% of the hunting population to think this... I think it is one heck of a scam that NR's have to pay so much more $$ for the same tag as a RES. Its ridiculous, here in CO a res moose is $254, NR is $2149. Talk about a rip off. Impossible to say NR's pay for...

    What in the world do you do with 10-PP's for elk in CO?!?

    I never been to unit 40, hunting on or around a bunch of private is not for me. I used up 10 points on a 49 mzldr hunt in 2015. I had a great time there and would do it again 100 times if I had the points. Sure you likely have a better chance at a monster in unit 40 than 49. However, will you...

    Need help with the basics!

    +1 ICMDEER, First off I never hunted ID but like others said it was a different game last fall. You needed to adapt. During 3rd season in CO, we had one day with cloud cover and temps were about 10 degrees lower than what they had been (still warm). Deer were out the whole time. At about 1 pm...

    Tree stands on water holes

    I see both sides and agree. I guess if I didn't see much human activity I'd hang my own stand and hunt. If it looked like someone was going in regularly I'd probably move on. I just don't like being around someone else when hunting. I like my space. If I did move on, I'd keep that spot as a back...

    2nd Choice Question

    If a tag is drawn with 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice you do NOT lose your points if tag is returned. Points do not apply to anything after 1st choice. If you draw 1st choice and want to return then yes, you need to decide between points or $. Mntman "Hunting is where you prove yourself"

    no idea about this story till I seen it now. In regards to the party hunting, its legal in states back east.

    How much would you charge

    My racks are all priceless, no amount would ever get them away from me. I wouldn't even sell my 4" whittail spike I shot as my first ever buck. Well on 2nd thought, the guy might get a swift kick in the ass ;) and I'd keep my antlers... Mntman "Hunting is where you prove yourself"
