Hey all..... been a while since I posted in the Colorado thread. I have a couple younger buddies who invited me to join them in applying for an archery elk tag in these units. I have been around Rabbit Ears pass for the last several years. I am slowing down and almost 70 and just wondering...

Seen on this thread the talk about e bikes. Are they legal to use past the signs that say "no motorized vehicles beyond this point"? Hope it cools down before the end of archery season.

I talked with Austin on the phone about 10 years or so ago. Seemed like he was a nice man ... easy to talk to and didn't make a flatlander from Nebraska (me) feel like an idiot when we talked elk hunting in 62. If I get over that way I'll contact him advance to see what it takes if I need a...

Hey thanks guys....If I come out it would be after muzzy season closes. I hunt around the Rabbit Ears Pass area. Although a part of me want to go back to 62 and hunt east off the divide road. I did that once... saw a few good bulls and had a couple chances at a couple nice ones. With archery...

Thinking of coming to do a late bow hunt in Colo. Usually go first week. The rest of my group went out... I couldn't go. I have some issues with my back and legs so If I was to get an animal down depending how far and how rough a pack out would be I may want to hire some help. I know there are...

Hey all.... haven't posted anything in here for a while, but have a question. What is the area like around Dunckley Pass. Really rough? Just thinking about going there for a camping trip yet here in August, Might consider this area to bow hunt someday but nearing 70 Years old, maybe it's too...

That's a nice bull. Congrats!! How many years of trying to draw a tag. I have been putting in for a cow tags for several years. No luck. I'll probably start applying for a bull tag, but I figured it would be nice to draw a cow tag (is ever so lucky) and learn the unit I would be in and make some...

My buddy and I camped on the divide road a couple 3 times, We did make a run to Grand Junction once each time. By the time you drive (an hour or so each way) and also pay for gas and a hotel it is much better to have a wall tent and make camp and stay near where you are hunting. The hour drive...

Looking to swap/trade a wht deer bow or gun hunt/ predator calling adventure /trapping adventure/ or what ever here in SE Nebr for some access to private land OTC elk hunts with a bow. Possibly a muzzy elk for what ever a non resident can draw for.

Very Nice!!

Hey thanks guys for the comeback. I do have a handicap permit that allows me to carry a crossbow during archery season. Just wondering how to go about fixing up a site on my new crossbow. I could have done all the research online but it's always nice to get some input from other hunters. And...

Today I bought a new cross bow to hunt with. 2 lbs lighter than my old Barnett. I have had both shoulders stitched up after being torn that's why I shoot a crossbow. And with spinal stenosis and arthritis in my back 2 lbs less here and there makes walking and hunting easier. Last time I was in...

I love our wall tents. Using one puts you right in your hunting area rather than several miles away in a hotel or rented cabin. I have rainflies on my tents that extend on the front. The rainfly extends about 10 feet. I usually take some cheap plastic tarps and clamp them on a couple sides to...

I am kinda curious as to why some worry about smoke smell when hunting elk. When I was in Wyoming a couple years during rifle season, smoke smell was every where.... for just about every campsite with a wall tent and stove inside to campsite with wheeled campers. Everybody had a fire going. And...

I want that pack.

Hey all... don't know if this is the right forum to ask on, but who here does not wash their camo clothes before a hunt. I am pretty sure you can't really beat an elk's sense of smell. I usually don't wash my camo clothes unless they are soiled or some blood on them. I just hang on a outside...

Hey all, will be coming to Colorado for the archery opener for elk. Just wondering about the rains situation out there. I know it has been dry but have the rains started? We will be in the Walden /Rabbit Ears/ Buffalo pass areas. Looking forward to time in camp. A good camp is really what I...

Hey all, I want to buy a ticket or two in the upcoming raffle (antelope, bighorn sheep or mountain goat tag) being put on by the Rocky Mountain Bighorn Society. I know odds of winning are next to none, but hopefully the money spent will go towards helping what the society does. My question is...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-05-17 AT 09:27PM (MST)[p]Just back from an opening weekend elk bow hunt in the North Park area of Colorado. Just want to say thanks for all the nice people in Walden, all the hunters (resident and non resident) we rachet jawed with in the field and in town, and to the hikers...

Hey squirrel.... thanks for your comments!! Just looking for a place to hunt, I am sure Colorado has elk. Gonna come out there and spend a week or two out in the hills. Maybe you and me will meet up... you can share my campfire for a spell. Thanks again!!

I would assume based on my prior hunts that there is heavy pressure from hunters in most places on public land, opening or closing week of archery and muzzleloader too. More when lots of roads give access to an area. Also it seems like the beetle kill if fairly common in most places in...

Hey thanks for the comment. I am not sure what area they call it as I am not from Colorado. Hoping to hear from someone who knows the area for sure. Thanks again!!

Hey all, gonna head to Colorado for an O-T-C elk bow hunt. I have hunted in several areas but kinda like the North Park area. Least I think it's called the North Park area. Looking at an area east of Muddy Pass, Hwy 14 & 40. This area is in the Arapaho/Medicine Bow-Routt Forest . Some peaks in...

Hey guys... thanks for the comeback. Yes, after searching the webb I have found some good deals. Elkboy.... that is a great comment. I am 45 miles from the nearest store that stocks freeze dried meals... cept the local wally world, but they don't have much. I really like the mountain house...

Wondering for those that use them on an elk hunt or other outings, where online do you all get your mountain house freeze dried meals. I always have bought a few each time I am at Scheels. I should be able to find a great deal online. I seen a post on here a while back about this but can't find...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-04-17 AT 03:46PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-04-17 AT 03:34?PM (MST) Here there John. I seen this post and while reading it I thought "wonder if one of his cousins is a coyote huntin dog running hunter who used to come up here to Nebraska years ago to go to a horse ranch in...

Thanks guys. I talked to a lady game warden, or what ever they are called in Colorado. Her area includes the North park area. She thought the die off was no worse than normal. I kinda thought about my question a little. Maybe I won't get an honest answer. I hope I do. But many who want non...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-02-17 AT 01:34PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-02-17 AT 01:33?PM (MST) Well everyone, since I did not draw (again) in the Nebraska elk drawing, it looks like I am gonna come to Colorado to do an OTC bow hunt somewhere. Just wondering if the elk got hit hard last winter and the...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-03-17 AT 05:57PM (MST)[p]Hey everyone.... a buddy came to me and said let's go to Colorado and Lion hunt. I have gotten pretty good at nailing these Nebraska bobcats, calling them in and shot gunning them. A big cat I bet is another whole different story. I am going to start...

Good luck....hope you have a memorable hunt!!

A hunting buddy and myself are toying around with an idea of a spring bear hunt. We are in SE Nebr. and talked a little about Canada. Or if there are good areas in the USA maybe we'll stay here. Anybody want to chime in with comments or suggestions. Lots of questions...... costs...travel...

Was just up in Grand Mesa National forest. Heard plenty of the "elk" sounding off. Then I saw several of the culprits. Hunters running around with bugle tubes. A couple of guys I watched were sneaking thru the meadows and about every 50 yds they would bugle until they got winded. I thought it...

Hi Cowtag... doing ok here in Nebr. To be in the furnace next week. Heading to Colorado for bow season for elk next month. Maybe for a couple weeks this year. Hope all is well. Anxious for a pm!!!

Hey... thanks guys. I have pulled an application off the webb today. And I also called Pepper , a lady game warden in Colo. She confirmed the scope thing. Going to my DR. Friday. And dropping the filled out app. in the mail that day. I know some don't respect the crossbow thing. But then again...

Did not draw for elk again here in Nebraska. So will be heading to Colorado to hunt in an OTC unit. Had shoulder surgery last summer and had to pass on our fall Colorado bow hunt. Could not pull my bow. Got a cross bow now and wondering if Colorado DOW lets you use a crossbow with Dr.'s...

Got me a new Cabelas Alaskan Guide model 6 person tent with fiberglass poles. For those who use this kind I have a few questions. Is condensation an issue in rain or cold and snow? Should I have an extra fiberglass pole in case I break one in the field? Does anyone use a vestibule on these or...

Thanks guys. Hey r270, I sent an e-mail to an address that was on your profile. And wyohunter I did a PM. Thaks for the comeback and hope to hear from you ( if you want) later.

Here it is, February in Nebraska. Slow day, so I am on my PC dreaming of fall 2016. Looking for someone who wants to barter. I want to hunt elk in WY or COLO. and willing to trade for something here in SE Nebraska. Reply back if you want. Thanks@!!!
