Why are so many people, including CPW commissioners, concerned about doing something about point creep? Seems to me if you want to hunt, you study the draw stats for the past few years, pick a decent unit that takes a few less points than what you have, apply and get drawn. Granted it may not be...

Things are finally swinging in the right direction for Colorado residents. Progress has been made with the Res/NR license allocation although 75/25 is still not where is should be. Also discussions are now underway to address overcrowding in OTC elk units. Two remaining topics that I feel need...

Anyone know what we are getting here? His bio says he hunts but I can't find much on him.

I have 15 WY elk points and have tried to draw some of the top units but I’m usually a ½ to 1 point off. My situation is, I live in Colorado and am an experienced elk hunter that normally kills a bull every year and I have killed some good bulls. I will be 67 years old next fall and can still...

Just curious as to how many of you add your dry ingredients to the marinate versus marinating and then sprinkling on the dry ingredients after the meat is taken from the marinate and dabbed off? I've always mixed it with the marinate but am starting to question that.

The hearing for SB022-031 is 2-3-22 at 1:30 PM. That's tomorrow!!!!! The two Republicans on the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources are voting no and the bill's sponsor Jaquez-Lewis will vote yes. Democratic Senators Kerry Donovan and Rhonda Fields will be the two that decide...

I just bought my first smoker, a Masterbuilt 40 inch electric smoker. I also bought the Slow Smoker attachment for cold smoking. I've had good results making jerky in my Cabelas dehydrator but am kicking around doing a batch on the smoker. So do you guys prefer to dehydrate or smoke your...

So what all do you guys make using ground elk?

I'm looking for a jerky recipe that is sweeter than the norm but not overly sweet. I added some brown sugar to the last batch but it's barely noticable so I need more or maybe some honey or maybe something else? Anyone have one they use that you like?

Got mine in the mail today. That's the earliest I ever got it and if I remember right the sheep and goat regs book usually comes out before Big Game.

I have a buck tag and will be in the unit 4 days prior to the opener and all 5 days of 4th season if need be. A good friend, with eagle eyes, will be along to help out. I'd be interested in sharing elk sighting info with anyone willing to share big buck sighting info. Also if anyone that hunted...

I just did all my CO apps except for deer. I'm sitting on 13 pts as a resident and am trying to make the best use of them. I'd like a crack at a 180ish buck and don't have an issue eating the tag. I've been applying for 44 3rd season for the past 5 years or so and always a point or two behind...

Admittedly, this is a tough question due to it being human related. All things being equal, what kind of accuracy improvement (100 yards) could one expect when using a peep sight on a 27 or 28 inch barrel versus a 22 inch barrel? I realize a longer sight plane doesn't make a rifle more accurate...

OK, I am impatient, I admit it. Anyone have any intel as to when the BG regs info will either be posted online or received in the mail? Last year I got hardcopy in the mail on Feb 13 and it the online version was posted on Feb 14.

I snagged a re-issued 4th season cow elk tag for GMU 50. I have not hunted the unit before but have spent some time on the CPW website looking at wintering areas, public lands and access. The plan is to spend a day in the unit scouting prior to 4th season and then shoot a fat 'ole cow within 1/4...

In 2017, I drew a tag in an area that I hadn't hunted before. Three months before the season, I called CPW and was given the name and number of the local game warden to discuss hunting in his area. I called and got his voicemail so I left my name and number along with a short message as to what...

This old man is looking to burn his 12 elk points in 2020 and get out of the points game. Unit 7 is one of the units I am considering. Anyone on here have experience either paying a trespass fee to access public land or paying a trespass fee to hunt private land in Unit 7? PM if you prefer...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-26-18 AT 01:21PM (MST)[p]I had a tag that wanted pop up last week. I was online and saw it posted as soon as it appeared - and I mean as soon as it appeared not 10 seconds later. It took me a matter of seconds before I got to the hunt code screen and when I typed in the hunt...

I have been messing around with sighting systems on two White muzzleloaders. I won't get into the details but what I wanted to accomplish wasn't as easy as ordering a few parts and slapping them on. I was dealing with 3 sight companies, one of which was XS Sight Systems. I was really impressed...

I am looking for two parts for a White Whitetail G Series.504. I need a breech plug - White calls it a Flash Fire Nipple/Breechplug for #11 caps. I also need a Williams WGRS Whitetail peep sight. I contacted Williams but was informed they are no longer making that model. Thank you.

For you peep sight users,what aperture size are you using in your hunting set-up?

I got my pronghorn buck back from my taxidermist - looks good but smells like it did when it was just killed. Especially in the area of the cheek patches. I took it back and the taxidermist agreed it really smelled - not a rotten smell just normal antelope smell. He worked on it and tried...

What I am trying to figure out is why it takes 9 weeks from the April 3 application deadline to the June 4-8 draw results. Considering that there are no paper apps anymore, it should take less time to process apps and if you make an error, it will not let you apply. Once the apps are in, the...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-11-18 AT 07:17PM (MST)[p]It looks like the back door is a thing of the past. Using the spring turkey draw as an example shows that I received the draw result via email on March 1 just like the brochure said. I didn't draw the limited tag but my card was hit on February 28 for...

This old man has been trying to draw a 44 3rd season tag for a few years now and am always a point or two behind. I'm looking to burn the points and just start hunting close to home every year. I've spent a lot of time researching this and the GMU's on my short list are: 21 third season, 22...

I was looking over the 2017 Primary Elk Post Draw Report and am trying to figure something out that I am sure someone one here can help with. Looking at EM014O4R shows 75 tags total and 31 Choice 1 apps. Looking at the Post Draw Choice 1 shows all 31 drew which leaves 44 tags. Moving on to...

I posted this in the Utah Forum but got a suggestion to move it up here so here goes. I am a non-res with 15 deer points. Not sure if I want to try to draw this year or not but I figure I better do some digging just in case. This will be a one-and-done hunt for me as I am soon to be 62. South...

I am a non-res with 15 deer points. Not sure if I want to try to draw this year or not but I figure I better do some digging just in case. This will be a one-and-done hunt for me as I am soon to be 62. South Slope, Diamond Mountain has caught my eye. The muzzy dates seem terrible but the...

I put a Lyman 57 SMET peep on my White Whitetail and used the factory front sight. What I don't like is how high the peep sits. It sits .350 above the top of the barrel making it prone to getting bent or having branches get under it. As close as I can measure, it appears the front sight is.312...

I'm getting old and am kicking around burning my deer points. Actually I have tried to burn them the past two years but am always a point or two behind so I am looking into other options. I have the points to draw the 82/86/861 above timberline tag. It is close to home and I have hunted 86 down...

Pref points purged from website.

My plan was to hold onto my 7 pref points for another year or two but due to a lack of tags being drawn by myself and some friends, I am now considering burning my points. Area 67 and 75 are on my short list and from what I read, the winter wasn't too bad there. Thought I'd reach out for some...

LAST EDITED ON May-17-17 AT 06:33AM (MST)[p]I drew a cow moose tag and thought I'd start a post for all the moose tag holders who are looking for moose hunting info from other MM members. This post can also serve to link hunters that have tags in the same unit. For example, my tag is a cow tag...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-06-16 AT 04:27PM (MST)[p]I don't know about you but where I hunt, I can see mountain lion tracks almost every time out. I have even seen two lions while deer hunting and I am seeing far less deer than I did just a few years ago. I tend to simplify things but if every adult...

I drew a muzzy tag for GMU's 50, 57, 58, 501 and 581. Anyone know of landowners within those units that have antelope and either allow hunting or charge a trespass fee? I know of a few public spots in 58 that are hit and miss on antelope but would like to have a private land option also...

Hoping someone can help me out. For some reason on this website when I go to a post that has a lot of replies and I try to scroll through them my computer takes forever to do it. It basically doesn't seem to be doing anything and then drops down through a few. It takes several minutes to go to...

I am looking for opinions on the .504 White 98 Elite Hunter. In looking at White's website it says it very similar to the Super 91 except the barrel is "7 groove truncated rifling in the newer M98". How is accuracy on the 98 compared to the Super 91? Any ignition issues with #11 caps? What...

I have a friend wanting to rifle hunt where the odds are good to kill a 350+ bull. Cost isn't that important to him. He doesn't have any points so he will need a guaranteed license. Thought I'd drop a post here to get some suggestions. Thanks.
