Bottom line is that this guy is going to have to live with this the rest of his life with what he did. He should've been banned from hunting anywhere ever again. The law is unjust in alot of cases. I saw the other day where a guy got 10 years for manslaughter and another one got 20 for armed...

Tree Hugging biologists...must be some of the same ones we have here in Minnesota. We had some good deer hunting prior to wolf protection back in the early 70's. They have ruined our deer population here in northern Minnesota and we no longer have a moose hunt here. Just angera me that they put...

The hunt last fall was a learning experience. We saw plenty of deer but I should've gotten into the thick timber more as I'd heard a few reports of some big boys being spotted. Really loved the country in that unit and it was a fun hunt.

Been to CO many times but always for elk. Cashed in points and am hoping to get out there during archery elk season if time permits. Not sure if we are going for a hotel or possible camper rental. I know the early season we have I've heard "Go high" so preparing for that. Looking forward to...

I've hunted elk in quite a few units in Colorado over the years but not deer yet. Have 12 points and am looking at deer hunting. I've been scouring over the stats for what we can draw and also comments on different units. We are looking at the following units and just wanted to ask for opinions...

I swear the DOW must be run by the same tree hugging biologists that we have in Minnesota. No common sense whatsoever. I feel bad for Colorado as we've been dealing with wolves since the 70's and it's only gotten worse. Can't hunt moose anymore here due to what they blame it on...ticks. They...

yes...within 3 minutes all choices I tried were gone. Wasn't alot of tags anyway so wasn't very hopeful. OTC it is.....

Thx DW, I couldn't remember from last year.

It was probably already covered in this thread but when does Leftover license list come out? Or is it already and I'm just friggin blind? :)

Thx DW....not sure where my head was at last year when applying but thank you for confirmation.... :)

I haven't put in yet for points but a friend called me who was applying for elk/muley points and said that they appear to be requiring you to hold a qualifying hunting license before applying. I know Utah did that years ago with requiring a small game so just thought I'd ask to confirm....

Yes, my friend has always hit the gym very hard and trained in the hills as much as possible being a 60 year old flatlander but he had some bad injuries over the years. His stomach twisted on him about 6 years ago and they had to cut him wide open to fix that. Could've killed him. Then he had...

A friend and I have been putting in for points for elk and have 11 points now. We put in for Unit 76 archery but it's creeping and I don't think we can catch it. Also thought about Unit 49 MZ (drop camp) but now that creeped up 1 point. My friend doesn't want to pack out an animal so that is...

bowhuntinnut....I didn't get your PM....I checked my email and I had an old address in there....reset it so should be good now...thx...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-17-18 AT 01:39PM (MST)[p]Thx Sticksender....appreciate the input...Yes I am a non resident...it seems there is a limited number of areas we could draw where we are at. May just burn them on a lesser unit at this point.

A friend and I have 9 points for elk and I've been looking at different units to put in for. There isn't a lot out there for the points we have but have been looking at Unit 40 bow and also Unit 20 MZ. I'd really like to wait for unit 76 bow but not sure we can catch the point creep. Not sure we...

Elkduds, where did you find that? I didn't see anything in the reg book they send yearly....hence my comment about me possibly being blind and not seeing it... :) Was it from a PDF reg files on line? Regardless...thanx for sharing that too....I want to be sure I'm legal....

I am currently waiting on my permit from CO DOW and spoke with Phyliss (303-291-7403) from ADA dept that handles the permits. I hurt my shoulder and am sending for a temp permit. I asked her about scopes as my crossbow came with one and I couldn't find in the regs under crossbow section relating...

Been hunting elk with a bow for quite a few years....great experiences....but after years of sports, outdoors, etc it's not working....can't pull bow back and decided to send in for temp exception for a crossbow....and I've already been getting some ribbing from my hunting partners but I can...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-13-15 AT 07:21PM (MST)[p]Unfortunately they want to do it this year so time to burn them. Favorable dates? Do you mean the seasons fall later next year in the cycle? or moon phase? :)

2 guys I hunt with want to use our points for muley this fall. I've been researching the net and CO website for stats and comments on units that we could possibly draw. Anyone have any input on which would be better unit in terms of public land, etc. I'll keep looking out and researching but...

Just returned from Eastern Montana where I was hunting mulies with 2 of my brothers and a brother in law. Hunted block management and BLM land. Earlier than I would've liked to go but it worked out best for them. Each filled our tags on deer and although no wall hangers I had fun hunting with...

A friend and I hunted 45 a few years ago on a non type 1 so we started Sept 15th with the bow hunt. Saw elk but not a ton....we both got close to at least one big bull and I missed a satellite bull (Hit log that I was shooting over). Ended up arrowing a spike bull (My choice as I needed to make...

Figured he was about 5 years old from the shape of his ivories but that was just the opinion of someone with more experience than I. He was definitely ruttin as his points were busted up and he was chasing a cow and bugling up a storm. Pretty cool to see and hear.

Just returned from Wyoming on an elk hunt. We had a great time and managed to take a 6x6...not the biggest bull in the woods but I was very happy....

Glad to see a governor actually take action in support of hunters. Good to hear!!! Thanx for posting it....

I responded to your PM Topgun and left my cell number in case you want to chat....

Brad1, send me a pm with your email address if you don't mind and I'll see if i can send you a few maps of an area I hunted back in 2009. The area I hunted was probably more conducive to rifle hunting but did get into some nice bulls during archery hunt.

Yes, always a losing proposition when the liberal tree huggers are involved. Can't fix stupid unfortunately.....

Maybe some ranchers/outfitters can show up and voice their opinions!! I did forward the link to an outfitter I know out there. Probably a good thing I don't live closer as it would be so tempting to go there and offer up a different opinion...growing up in northern MN I seem to have developed a...

Just got these two back from Taxidermist. Far from any record books but each a good representation and I had a blast hunting WY public land as well. They turned out pretty good....

It's been a few years since I've put in for Montana. Brothers wanted to go this year and I don't get to hunt with them that much anymore....I couldn't recall if results came out in Mid May or later? Anyone??

thanx guys....I'll keep watching....

Anyone ever watch this show? I just happened to turn on tv to sportsman's channel and caught the beginning where they show various kill shots....he shoots a a running Kudu and then takes a shot at a grizzly bear and hits it right in the head....wow....he's either a terrible shot or meant to...

Yes, public land....mostly blm.....

Yes, did that once a long time ago but this one was deep....5 stitches....definitely paid for it..... :)

Had fun chasing mulies and antelope the last week of October. Antelope were super spooky as anticipated but made a nice stalk on one plus another stalk on a muley that worked out just right.

Yes, mntman, born in Crosby, moved to Babbitt when I was two, went to school in Duluth after high school....thanx all....it was very satisfying....more confidence going forward....

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-13 AT 02:19AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-13 AT 00:10?AM (MST) Just returned from hunt. Had a few rain out days and managed to call in a bull on 4th day of hunting. He came running down thru the aspens above me to within 15 yards. When I first spotted him I'd just...
