I picked that tag up last year on the FCFS as well, freaky early winter weather, I wasn't able to hunt the first few days due to work commitments and getting that tag the day before season. I don't think my experience was typical due to the snow. The snow was knee deep on top of Copper. Hunted...

I live in gunnison, typically do my own meat because I’m a picky sucker when it comes to my meat. I’ve used Guerrieri’s a few times when life was busy and I just didn’t have time. They do a great job IMO. With my kids now hunting and work being crazy busy we had them do 3 or 4 for us last year...

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but I would suggest there is some really good elk hunting in some OTC areas. The trick IMO is people. You have to find those spots that people either over look or aren't willing to get into. Big roadless areas, steep terrain, and the farther away from...

I bet you'll really like those arrows. Learn from my mistake and cut them a couple inches long so you don't have to buy new ones by the end of the summer. Darn kids grow so fast!!

At that draw weight you're going to have a lot of options. Without looking at a chart I'm betting you're going to be needing around a 600 spine. Again, lots of options there. This will get you out of the "kid arrows" and into adult arrow selections. Are you looking for high end target arrows...

check out powder horn lakes. Long day trip or an overnight. Cool country and some good brookie fishing

I would echo the lack of penetration comment. I guided elk hunters for several years and had one long time client bring them one year to try. Very good hunter, very good shot. He drilled a bull at 50 yds, absolutely center punched him. We looked for two days and never found a drop of blood. My...

The 500 codes are not affected by the points showing up. Bear and moose points have not come back either and the 500 codes for those have been out for a week or so. I don't think we will see the preference points return until they officially post results. As far as I've been able to tell, the...

Not that it makes a hill of beans difference, I was jut curious. As a non-res I can only draw one tag of any variety so a charge of any kind would be welcome news!

So for those of you in the know, because of the sequence of draw will cards get hit first for the more desired tags like sheep, moose and goat, then move to LE tags and finally general deer? Or does the draw happen and then charging the cards is a different affair with no predictability?

Congrats Fallguy!! I'm scared to look.......

Wiszard, Not to push you away from my home state, I love it here. But have you looked at potentially putting him in the draw for Idaho or New Mexico? Draw odds are long, but they do not use preference points in those states. You could apply him for some middle of the road type units (not the...

No limits Archery or Bear Creek Archery in the Denver area are good as well as Pelligreno's archery hut in Springs. All three carry darn good pro's. Dillion Sether at no limits, Steven Marsh at Bear creek and Bill Pelligreno are all accomplished pro's and top notch guys to boot.

Just a bit of arrow "theory". The idea is to perfectly match the spine of your arrow to your bow. Perhaps the perfect spine for your bow wold be a 370, but arrow manufacturers can't make every single possible spines, it wouldn't be economical. So they make a few options, in your case you get to...

schoolhousegrizz low broadhead flight is quite common (I'd say 1 out of 10 bows IME). Like many guys have said their are a lot of variables including the bow you shoot, the arrow spine, speed, etc. But, because fixed blade broadheads catch more wind and can cause a bit more arrow rotation the...

Anybody seen anything on goat yet or just sheep so far? Hoping they haven't done goat yet, but maybe I'm just in denial!

A family in our church here in Gunnison has a pastor from back home, Illinois, that has been diagnosed with terminal cancer so we are trying to get him out here to hunt this fall. If anybody might have any info on a 1st season 76 elk voucher, please let me know. If you would be willing to donate...

That is some good info. I just got my letter Saturday, #5 Non-Res! I was also curios about being assigned times to hunt vs. having the whole season. So if I understand it, we have the whole season on the national forest and will be assigned dates on the elk refuge? With only a couple free...

I am a fishing guide in Gunnison, CO and would love to trade a couple days lake trout fishing on Blue Mesa for a Mtn Lion hunt. Check out my website at www.weekendwarrioroutdoors.com. Best lake trout fishing is early spring.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but nope, you can not. Smoke pole only.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-18-10 AT 07:50PM (MST)[p]The camera deal was awesome. It was actually pretty easy. They looked through our pics at the end and said looks good. You can only take pictures of your animal and nothing else, but all in all it was a piece of cake. Made it really nice to be able to...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-17-10 AT 08:08PM (MST)[p]First time anyone in my group had been on one of these hunts what a blast!! FYI we were one of the last couple cars out of the gate Sat. night and the kill was at 41.

Thanks for the thoughts. Makes me feel more comfortable taking ol' reliable. Regardless, it sure is fun to have a hunt to look forward to in the middle of winter.

Just curious, I have an oryx hunt coming in Feb. I am mostly an archery hunter so when it has come to rifle hunting I have used a .270 for everything. I have killed a couple of elk with it, so it seems like it would suffice but have heard other wise from a couple of guys. I am a little skeptical...

The whole thing about killing a book animal drives me nuts. I am actually a scorer for pope and young and the fact is "the books", as stated earlier, where not created for the hunter but for the animal. It was a way to show our government what good conservation could do for our animals. The only...

let me know how you guys fair, I've got the feb. tag and can't wait.

Not to steal meatinthepot's thread, but my wife and I also own a sign shop in Colorado and do vehicle graphics, wooden sandblasted and routed signs, three D letters, etc. I would love to get in on a mtn lion hunt and would love to trade some work for a hunt.
