    BHA on EPLUS

    Does anyone see issues if they were to adjust the EPLUS program based on land owners acreage? I know when I check the eplus map I notice there are lot of private ranches that qualify for tags but are honestly tiny! Overall they might add up to large acreage numbers but on their own you...

    CPW can suck it! Total BS!!!

    I'm seeing the same thing where i'm at. Deer numbers are down significantly and it seems like every guy I talk to is just trying to fill his doe tag!

    CPW Tag allocation survey/ Landowner tags

    If they keep OTC unlimited I think they could adjust to make it work but I don't see anyway they limit OTC tags, adjust the splits that much across the board and maintain their budget. That is without increasing tag costs or cutting from their budget somewhere.

    CPW Tag allocation survey/ Landowner tags

    I personally feel these surveys are a joke. There is 0% chance the CPW makes an adjustment to make the majority of folks happy here so in my opinion they need to make some kind of adjustment based off their data and then have the flexibility to adjust if needed.

    OnX “Safety Zones?”

    Check the New Mexico Game and Fish map. I've found it is usually more up to date with some of NM unique rules and regs. My bet is that is some type of land swap with a landowner.

    Another victim !

    Tragic situation for sure! I really believe they need to separate the Muzzy and Archery seasons in Colorado but also definitely agree that we as hunters need to do better about taking safe shots. The hunter orange excuse has never registered with me. There are a lot of states that do not...

    Preview leftovers

    How can people be getting tags before they even hit the list? I have watched every update today watching for a couple different lower end tags and none of them have shown up so far on the leftover list.

    Score this bull, Opinions welcome.

    Love these field judging topics. My armature guess G1s: 16-17 G2: ~20 G3: ~18 G4: 20 G5: Avg 4 (1 * 7) Beams: 50 Mass per side: 26 Width 40? Puts him in the 340-350 range.

    Help judging

    I don't think he will hit 300 either. Keep in mind for a bull to hit 300" he would need to avg 10" per tine for a standard 6pt frame if he had a 200" base(likely much less). My guess would be: Total tine length 100-106" Total Beam Length ~90"(45" beams) Total Mass ~50" Width ~33" Puts him in...

    Broken Horn Oryx, Stallion

    I was on Stallion in Jan and we saw a ton of broken horn Oryx. A guy that checked out right ahead of us on Sunday killed a giant broken horn cow. Thats a fun hunt, i'm jealous.

    Colorado unit 5

    If you are not familiar with the unit it wouldn't be one I would recommend burning the points on. It's really a complex unit with the state boundary, private boundary's, migrations, ect. Especially with this year being later dates most of those bucks might be in Wyoming by the time the season...

    Colorado Early Rifle Options

    I was in your similar situation last year with a few more points. I drew a high country tag scouted my tail off all summer and found several really good bucks. As luck would have it my target buck vanished before the season opened and after smoke and snow hit early in the hunt things got...

    Draw results up~ ur welcome

    I'm not sure about NM but i do know a few years ago in Colorado the back door results were incorrect after they had an error in the draw and there were a ton of people that were pissed after they thought they had drawn.

    Draw on? Already happen?

    As someone who grew up in Colorado and moved to NM a few years ago I absolutely love their system. My wife and I have had some amazing hunts over the past 4 years that would have taken 10-15 years to draw in Colorado! To me point systems will never work as there simply isn't enough tags and...

    Colorado Unit 35/361

    I picked up a 3rd rifle tag last year off the leftover list and hunted the opening weekend as kind of a last minute hail mary trip. I spent 3 days in the unit and can honestly say I was not that impressed. It kind of felt like i was hunting in utah with all the Utah guys running all over the...

    CWD Mandatory Test (Deer) 2020

    I had a deer checked up north in 2018 and had it checked on a sunday afternoon. They were really busy that sunday as the season was closing so i'm sure they will have something similar down south.

    Colorado Early Mule Deer Options

    I was wondering if anyone had some experience with any of the early rifle tags in Colorado over the past few years that would be willing to share their experience with me? I'm sitting on a pile of points and wanting to burn them next year on an early season tag. I know the early rifle tags...

    Leftover List Issues

    I've been trying to get a deer tag from the leftover list the past few weeks and have been having some issues. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem. Sequence: 1. I see a tag pop up on the leftover list 2. Immediately login to the CPW site 3. Try to add the hunt code only...

    Camp Hale Colorado Elk

    I only hunted opening weekend due to some other commitments. I found some good bucks but really didn't have time to get one killed. As for the roads after it snows I'm not sure but I can confirm the roads up top are really dice!

    Camp Hale Colorado Elk

    Personally I would look for some areas with a little tougher access. That area is so easy to access and there are roads all the way up above treeline so that area gets absolutely hammered. I personally deer hunted there a couple years ago and can say I found some really big bulls in the summer...

    Unit 2A Camping Areas

    My wife and I are heading to 2A this weekend to chase some muley's around. Due to the number of tags we had this year we have not had any time to scout the unit ahead of time so we are just heading up for the weekend to have some fun. I was hoping someone on here could help point us in the...

    Cost for Euro Mount

    Personally I think $300 for a euro is a bit high! I do all my own euros and there is really nothing to them and it typically doesn't cost me much(~$40/skull depending on how long my peroxide lasts).

    NM Unit 16D - Elk Archery - Rain Inquiry

    I haven't been in D but have been in A a lot over the past month and like everyone mentioned it has greened up a lot and most tanks are filled up. Not sure how the burn looks right now but I would suspect everything else to be coming around!

    Reissued Tags on the leftover list

    When I called today the guy tried telling me the tag reissue has just slowed down but i find that hard to believe. He told me there had been a tag added to the list 10 min before i called but when i asked what tag he could tell me. So with them being down for up to a month they could lose...

    Has anyone seen any new tags come up recently on the leftover list? For the first few days I saw a bunch come and go but over the past few days I haven't seen anything new.

    Colorado 44 4th

    Congrats on the tag man! I can't comment on hunting 44 as I have only been in the unit a few times and never with a tag in my pocket. I have been apart of a few high point hunts though and the one word of advice I can give you is to be patient and have fun! So many of those guys that burn 20+...

    2018 Unit 2 Elk tag

    Are you looking at Archery or rifle? I personally would not hunt with Horton. They kill some good bulls on the land he has access too but on average they will still be below 350. Most outfitters in the area are going to hunt the same public land you can hunt. If you are going to pay for an...

    Got the call...Colo 44 4th

    I would definitely do it. That hunt is really hard to scout for unless you scout it out a full year in advance.

    Someone swooped up an 851 Bosque Del Oso tag today! I panicked when I saw it and wasn't sure about the tag so hesitated a little too long! lol

    In his prime?

    I would not hesitate to shoot that buck. I have watched a lot of bucks on my grandfathers place over the years and there are so many factors that effect a bucks growth. You let him walk and he might come back next year an absolute giant but he could also go backwards. I think he is around...

    Leftovers....

    Has anyone seen any good tags come across the leftover list recently? I've seen several really good deer tags pop up but unfortunately I already hunted deer so I watched them quickly disappear! I have been watching the elk tags really closely though and have not seen hardly anything pop up.

    Leftovers....

    I guess everyone at the DOW was watching the eclipse today! My leftover list has not updated since around lunch time and before that I didn't see a single tag go on the list.

    Leftovers....

    Has anyone actually seen a tag come onto the list so far this year? I've checked it a handfull of times expecting to see some mediocre tag pop up but from what I can tell nothing has came onto the leftover list. Are they really flying off the list that fast?
