After 12 years of applying for a tag, my wife drew 1 of two non-resident tags allotted for her unit this year. It was an extremely difficult hunt, and seen very few elk. The last 30 minutes of the hunt, she downed this old bruiser. He is broken up horribly, and probly not as much horn as years...

I have read some posts, that BH209, might not shoot on some muzzleloaders. I have a HR huntsman, that uses the plastic primer holder. I had some problems, with 777 pellets nit igniting properly, so I drilled out the primer hole in the plug, and now it shoots great. 2 50 gr pellets and 250 gr...

I am fairly new to muzzleloader shooting, and bought a barrel for my New England SB-2 in 50 cal., about 3 years ago. Last year I hunted with this rig, probly shot it about 20 times with 2-50 grain 777 pellets and 250 grain sabot. This past winter when I was changing the barrels, back to a rifle...

The picture is dated 11/12, but should be 12/11. We finally got some cold weather and got the deer moving. Rut is totally over, as 3 bucks were traveling together and I got lucky on the biggest of them. Shot him with a 270, and 110 gr. Barnes TTSX at about 110 yds. Neck shot, dropped quick...

On the application, it has a place you can check if unsuccesful for first look at "LEFTOVER LICENCE LIST". If you check it, and don't pick something from the list, when do they send your refund? I have never checked this block, but thinking about it this year.

Just got my first muzzleloader about 3 months ago. It is a H&R huntsman, 50 cal. inline, 209 primer in a plastic carrier.During first firings, I had about 4 out of 20 or so shots, that would delay fire, simular to a flintlock. I thought I didn't quite seat the bullets good enough? Then took it...

Bagged this medium buck this morning. About 120 yards, with a 270, 140 gr. Dropped in his tracks. 4.5 yrs old, needed out of the breeding pool. No eye guard on left side, with 4 points, eye guard on right with 3 points. 8 total, plus three for nose and ears.lol.

Some friends just finished a hunt in unit 30. Here is one sent from his phone, a 21" spread, and he said it weighed 250 lbs? Shot from 1500 yards.Not really that far a shot,I put that in, if he can, so can I. (we are Texans). http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/5029nm_deer

Wondering if anyone out there knows what is good to treat a canvas wall tent. I have heard Thomsons waterseal, linseed oil, and at Cabellas, they have Canvak. But I cannot find a reccomendation for any good treatment from someone with experience. Any suggestions?

It took my sousin 9 years to draw tag, and she only had three days to hunt, because of work, but she made the best of it. Shot it with her 270, and 130 grain barnes. 27" spread. I am proud of her!

At a local gun show, this past weekend, found a table with loads of "WOLF" brand primers. Every size imaginable. Anyone on here had any experience with these primers? Price seemed right, about 26.00 a case, or ten pack.

Why are the 5 day general season units opening in the middle of the week this year? I cannot recall a general deer season opening on a Wednesday. The proclomation says Oct. 21st through 25th, for the 5 day units. Seems a little odd to me.

When will Colorado change the year of birth, to require a humter safety course? 1949, be real! This is the only state with such an atiquated date.I agree it is a very idea for all young hunters to take a course, but there should be a reasonable age to require it. Am I the only hunter out there...

Todd bagged this nice bull during the 3rd season this year. Not a monster, but a very respectable OTC, DIY bull. Shot it with a 7mm Rem. Mag.& 160 swift A-frame bullets.

David Holloway Jr. bagged this wide whitetail on opening weekend of the Texas season. Very nice deer for the north-central region of Texas.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-14-06 AT 08:16PM (MST)[p]Just received this picture from my cousin in Utah today. Said they had a great hunt, seen many, many elk. Settled for this one, green scored in the lower 370's.

Just returned from a great archery hunt in Utah. I didn't fill my tag, passed very many small bucks, saw a few shooters, but couldn't seal the deal. The heard is looking great for the future. The elk heard is GREAT!!! I found this matched set of this years sheds, lying about 40 yards apart. Had...

Has anyone purchased the "BIG GAME CD" from the DOW? There are two versions, standard and deluxe. I was thinking about trying the standard, just wandering if anyone else on here had tried, and what they thought about it.

Looking for a unit in Colorado to hunt elk this coming fall. Have not hunted Colorado in about 5 years. Looking for on with decent odds to draw without any preference points. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hunted a limitted unit in Utah last year, and cannot reapply till 2010. That is a...

After several years of unsuccesful applications for limmited elk at the book cliffs, I changed this year, and drew a tag for the La Sal mountains this year. Does anyone know what size bulls they have been harvesting in that unit. Looking forward to trying for a bull in september. Would...
