I can't believe nobody has posted this up. The Muley Fanatic Foundation out of Wyoming is giving away three commissioner's tags! Winners get their choice of hunting deer, elk, or antelope! Act quickly; the deadline/drawing is April 30th. This is a great way to help wildlife and great odds at...

Hello everyone, This Saturday will feature one of the best banquets in the state. Northern Colorado Pheasants Forever is holding it's annual banquet in Loveland CO. There will be 36 guns available, and everything from elk and pheasant hunting trips, to great fishing trips hunts will be...

Hello all, I'm just curious as to how this guy compares to other big Shiras moose. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger, but is he considered a TRUE trophy? I see a lot of moose, and I generally don't see many bigger than him. I'm likely answering my own question, but would like to hear...

Hello all, I'm new to bowhunting and have an elementary question. I have a Black Gold Rush 5-pin sight mounted to a Hoyt Charger. Should I set my top pin at 20 yards or at 10? The bow shop told me the difference between 10 and 20 yards is minimal and 20 yards would be just fine. I believe...

I finally took the plunge and ordered my first bow last night. Going with the Hoyt Charger... seems hard to beat for the money. I ordered a blank bow (vs. the package they offer) and am setting it up with a Black Gold Rush sight, and a Trophy Taker X-treme FC rest. Should get me on my way...

Pretty simple question. I've had 777 powder for about 5 years. Does it lose its charge over the years or am I still good to go? I know it will still shoot, I just want to make sure it is fully effective. Thanks.

The Muley Fanatic Foundation (MFF) is hosting their inagural banquet in Denver on August 17. Please consider attending this great event. There will a great prime rib dinner, along with entertainment, live and silent auctions, and of course a raffle. The MFF was created after members of...

I just hunted the 2012 blackpowder season in North Park Colorado. I had a cow tag, but will be able to draw a bull tag next year. The 2013 season is 9/14-9/22. Because of work, I can only hunt a portion of the season, and am thinking a five day hunt would be about all I can do. To complicate...

What has everyone's experience with the rut been lately? My dad was up at our cabin near Rand (North Park) this past weekend. He saw a 6x6 all by himself; and he heard no bugles all weekend. He said the cows could have been in the willows near the bull, but it sure seemed like he was by...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-19-11 AT 09:22PM (MST)[p]I need some advice. I have two preference points for elk. I was thinking about drawing a 1st season rifle tag for the North Park area, but don't know if I should burn my points on a hunt you can draw with 0 points if you're lucky. I was checking out...

Has anyone had much success on deer in the North Park area the last couple of years? I sure haven't been seeing the deer like I used to. I think the hard winter a few years back really took a toll on them. I used to always run into deer while hunting; these past couple of years the have been...

Finally! I'm happy to report that I was successful on my elk hunt and was able to tag my first bull. I've taken a couple of cows, but never was able to seal the deal on a bull. On Thursday, around noon, I was able to get a shot on this guy. He's a 5x3, and it was a blast getting into position to...

I drew my muzzleloading deer tag for eastern Colorado and am pumped. I'll be hunting around the Holyoke area during the middle of October. I spend a lot of time pheasant hunting out there and have seen some hogs. I know some guys that live out there and should have access to some land. We'll...

I'm sure everyone is checking out their hot off the presses hunting regulations. My dad and I want to hunt elk during the muzzleloading season, but I'd like to continue to bank my points for one of those "hard to draw units." I know my dad can draw a bull tag with his 1 preference point. Do...

So I've been putting in for a moose tag for 6 years now. I have the minimum 3 preference points and 3 weighted points. I will no doubt submit my application again this year, even though I'm not sure what I would do if I actually drew. Obviously, I would be pumped up, but when you're not...

Well, first season is wrapping up. How did everyone do? How are the conditions and the populations of elk and deer this year? Did you notice a decrease in the number of hunters with the economy in the tank? Any specific news out of North Park, specifically unit 17 or 6? I will be hunting...

Well, here's another question from a first time blackpowder hunter. For reference, I'm shooting a triumph, with 777, and powerbelts. At the end of the day, what do you do with your muzzleloader? Can you just take the primer out, and leave the powder and bullet until the following morning...

Well, I'm a first time poster to the forum. This weekend I will embark on my first black powder hunt. I will be hunting elk and mule deer in Northern Colorado. I have a T/C Triumph and will be shooting 338 grain platinum Powerbelts (I heard these are great for elk). I've been shooting both...
