I have a tag for this 4th season buck hunt. Happens over thanksgiving. I have a few shooter bucks on trail cam. they are crossing my property a few times a week. I am at 8000ft elevation. will them buck still be around in a few weeks if they are not killed yet? I was up there a week ago checking...

I have tried several times now to get leftover tags, with no luck...

humm... the one I was chasing for 3 days had a very distinctive bugle too... i am wondering if we are talking about the same bull/

it was a big 5x5, surprisingly big

well, there were lots of hunters in the areas that I had previously scouted. I had to go with plan C.. I did get into elk almost every morning of the hunt. However, I was hunting the aspen stands, and I did not realize how difficult it is to get a shot off in some of that thick stuff. I had 4...

Any of you 61 archery or muzzy hunters willing to share some intel? I am headed out later this week for my first season bull tag. I have some spots picked out, but I will gladly consider any information. Aaron

Thanks for all the input gentlemen, I have spots to check out all over the unit. I need to narrow it down to a few spots. Heck that might changes as soon as I get feet on the ground there. I will be staying in Nucla this time, where is a good place to eat?

Thank you Coloradoboy, Isent you a PM

Hey there, I too have a 61 First season elk rifle tag this year. I decided to get out of the points game. I hope I picked the right unit. LOL! I am headed to Nucla for 3 days to do some scouting on that side of the unit. I have a hand full of areas picked out down there, and I am wondering if...

thanks for all the replies. I have about 20 or more mosquito bites on my back and arms. I left the mountain a day early because of this. the elk were in the dark timber, and it was wet in there. Heck I wanted to sit on a wallow, it was clearly being used. The mosquitoes were just too much...

How do you deal with the mosquitoes during the early parts of the archery hunt? was in Wyoming for opening weekend this year, trying to sit on a wallow or anywhere was almost impossible without being attacked by mosquitoes? Any suggestions?

My friend had that tag 2 years ago. he hunted unit 8. lots of elk hunters. my friend walked around talking to people in camp asking if they had seen any moose. one of the first few guys told him where they just seen a cow. my buddy went to the place he was told and shot his moose. not bad for 1...

First season rifle elk 581 for my son 14, daughter 12,and me as well as first deer season tags for the kids. I put in for a 4th season dear tag, moose tag for 7,8,9. I drew a Wyoming general elk tag this year. lots of fun getting the kids in the field..

Looks like we should have some cooler weather for the opening weekend of the first rifle season. Anyone have any updates of the elk activity? Is the rut winding down? was it a late rut this year? Good luck out there. Aaron

Man that is an awesome bear. Congrats!

no you did not draw a deer tag. you would have a 5XX- non res deer app number

Orion, nice pics. thanks for sharing. I have not invested in game cameras yet. I should probably do that. are these all in the same area?

Maybe I'm too focused on Deer or elk to pay attention. 65 and 78 look good as well. I can't make it down there this year, However, I am wondering what units up North I should look at? I live near Fort Collins. I think I am looking for wet areas like riparian area? with choke berry type shrubs?

Hey guys, what do you think the best bear unit is in Colorado? I have 7 PP (resident) In my 8 years of hunting here i have only seen 1 bear.

looks like I drew a 4 th season deer tag.

We wont fine out this year guys. the ranch I hunt was a bust first rifle season here in Colorado. First time in 3 years hunting the ranch property that the elk never migrated to the property. so until next year. aaron Come follow me on facebook https://www.facebook.com/AJH.Knives

I went down to the DOW and bought one for my wife, went back a week later and traded it for the same tag i currently have. then the father in law got lucky and traded his for the same hunt my wife and I have. I don't know if I would trust the on line. Can you call and buy it over the phone? you...

I didn't think you could purchase these on line. I went down to the DOW office and bought one for my wife. I think you can buy them at the counter before they are available on line.

Well, we are going to shoot again this weekend. She wants to just shoot the 270. If she can put together a good group at 100 yards, i think she will be fine. keep in mind my wife had no interest in shooting rifles until we took the kids for their hunters ed card. Shooting the 243 was a big...

we went to the range again this weekend. practiced shooting off the tripod sticks. she is good with the 243. I put her behind the 270 with 130 accubond factory nosler ammo. she did not like that at all. shot it once and went back to the 243. so at lunch today i'll stop by the local gun shop...

Hey guys, I cannot wait till the 15th!! in the past I have not used calls during this hunt. Should I be using calls? which calls? cow call or bugle? I normally just listen and look. they are still bugling during this time. I have heard them several times. I have been able to kill a bull for the...

I live and work in Fort Collins, ( Boulder North) here are 2 bucks I recorded last year, right outside my office building. They were sparing, i just could not get out there fast enough to get it on video. https://www.facebook.com/100004674400493/videos/535730639926078/

Hey Guys, we will only go for broad side shots, and maybe quartering away shots. I will pick up some Nosler partitions. Also, i made flash cards of elk in different positions. we sit down and go over what is a kill shot in each one of the pictures. I need to throw a few "no shot" pictures in...

thanks for the input guys. As a young teen she said her father took her shooting. she can't remember what she shot but it kicked her bad enough to never want to shoot a rifle. She shoots pistols just fine. Can shoot the AR just fine. we have been working on the 243 and she is confident with it...

My wife has been shooting a 243 winchester in a youth model rifle. 100 gr Core lokt Remington factory ammo. She also has a bull tag this year. if I can get her within 100 yards of a younger bull, will this work? we will only be looking for broad side shots. she knows that she should shoot until...

great video! what trail cams are you using?

Hey there guys. I pulled a non resident general Elk tag this year to Hunt with my wife's uncle one last time before they move. So far this year I have about 14 days hunting between the archery elk and the rifle season. Opening weekend during the archery hunt is the only time i seen elk. The elk...

Nice! tell us about the gun, 308?

So i filled my Colorado elk tag, still trying to fill my Wyoming general elk tag. where are the elk? up high still? in the winter ground? or are they still transitioning? I'm having a hell of a time locating elk. Finding sign, only heard 2 bugles during the archery season. I have put on the...

from the local paper here in Fort Collins http://www.coloradoan.com/story/news/2015/10/07/genetically-pure-bison-return-noco-prairie/73478028/ A herd of bison will be released to roam the Northern Colorado plains next month in the culmination of a six-year effort to return home a species once...

how do you approach this hunt. its a 5 day hunt starts this weekend. do you cow call, bugle or be silent? I shot a 5x5 last year, with out calling just a lot of walking and looking for elk.

yes, lots of people. however all the elk i have seen have been by themselves, cows, and spikes. September 1 is the only time i seen a small bull with 1 cow. I have covered lots of ground too. I have been hunting south central Wyoming.

Hey guys, seems like this year the elk rut is late? I have spent 10 days in the field on 3 trips. The elk are not herded up, not calling or responding to calls. I have only seen lone elk. is anyone else experiencing this? been hunting anywhere from 9500 to 10600 elevation. what are you guys...
