I heard (unconfirmed) no non-residents drew tags and that would be a very big bummer if you don't live here. Dont worry though. CPW depends on your money for new pickup trucks so they will re-do it and the world will be filled with rainbows, happy clouds, ice cream cones and unicorns. I'm...

I've been watching some of the advice and requests about where to burn a boatload of points on Colorado mule deer this year. I thought I would throw my .02$ in the mix and take it for what its worth but it is worth considering. No alterior motive here, just boredom on a snowy morning waiting to...

Picked up a copy of this from the MM store and have to say I really enjoyed this DVD more than any elk film I have seen. Well done BTO crew. I would have liked to see slightly longer clips in the monster bull video compilation segment in the middle of the film. What a bunch of kick-ass...

300 Ultra Mag shooters- What is you window of accuracy on your RUMs? How many fouling shots and how many can you run through it before you start opening up your groups? Mine seems finicky. Any guesses on barrel life on these thundersticks?

Is it just me or is this show just Realtree Roadtrips with new graphics and Waddell riding a chopper to the edge of a canyon?

Hell,its not even winter yet until tommorow but for the second year in a row, the snow is stacking up in the winter ranges. Here at my house at the upper end of the winter range, the sagebrush is covered with 36"s plus of snow in less than two weeks. We definately have more snow than at this...

With about 18 days left until the second season (first rifle buck season) there seem to be quite a few vouchers still out there to be "fascilitated." Is is the economy? Winterkill fears? Or just people saying "OUCH" thats too much money for promises of 250 bucks on private land with no...

Honor the heroes. Remember the victims and their families. We will never forget.

Myself and many others would love to hear them?

My daughters had a track meet in Gunnison today. On the drive over and back, myself and my whole family were blown away by all the deer carcasses littering the roadsides and up onto the hillsides. The bleached out hair of the dead deer showed up like blond spots of death in the short sagebrush...

I find it sad to see that it had to come to this. http://www.wildsheep.org/pdf/verdict.pdf

It could be looming on the horizon for deer. Some areas in the central mountains are reporting the most December snowfall since the fatefull winter of 83-84 when Colorado experienced its last significant winterkill. The storm pattern doesn't seem to be breaking and its deep snow conditions on...

There is a entry in the Big buck contest with the title "Colorado twins" and as soon as I saw it I recognized the buck from an email I got last summer of the big ol' stud buck hoofin' it across some sage with his fuzzy antlered cronies. I'm at work and can't post it but someone else quite...

Saw this today and was very intrigued by the philosphy and goals of this organization. Check it out and weigh in. http://www.coloradobackcountryhunters.org/

LAST EDITED ON Jun-01-07 AT 02:16PM (MST)[p]Now all you nerds that were up all night checking the internet for your draw results can go to bed. ;-) Like there was actually going to be someone from the division of wildlife up in the middle of the night posting draw results. :o

The Colorado Division of Wildlife, Wildlife Commision members meet today to decide on regulation changes for the upcoming seasons of 2007. In the big game regulations there are red-lined changes to the landowner voucher program. Specifically and briefly the regs state that third party...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-19-06 AT 10:30AM (MST)[p]If your planning to hunt during the next three deer and elk season in Colorado, you might want to take a look at AZBuckhunter's accusation about hunting then if you have friends or family along and there happens to be snow. He posed a question to me...

Here comes the snow!

Thinking back on that morning, it seems like time has just stood still. Its been five years but it seems like just yesterday. I watched again the documentary "9/11" tonight on CBS that was filmed by the French brothers, over-the-shoulder of the FDNY members as they responded to the attacks on...

I posted this in another thread but thought it deserved some thought standing on its own. Much of the voucher talk concerns access logistics and regulation but this poses some hard questions I think we must answer at some point. In post 52 of the "Colorado Land Owner Rip Off" Brian copied some...

After reading the latest issue of the Eastman's Journal, I wonder if anybody even reads the laws and regulations regarding blaze orange requirements in this state. Those guys in the feature stories didn't have a stitch of it on in any of the photos. I guess if the DOW made it a 20 point...

Got this email and it made my eyes well up. I'd like to think it was a true story and not just some B.S. some jag-off made up for the internet. Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to...

For those of you looking for a great early season uninsulated pair of hunting pants, I highly recommend the Cabelas Microtex pants in the outfitter camo. I bought a pair before my Alaska back pack hunt last year and was really impressed with the durability and performance of this fabric. Its...

If your biggest worry is how to spend your 8 preference points, not finding the set of sheds that is "yours" or how the honky white devil is pricing Average Joe out of conservation tags and landowner vouchers then maybe reading this will give you real perspective on how freakin' lucky we all are...

Who's going to Reno?

What used to be some of the best deer hunting in the West is now what I would consider average for public land deer hunting. I believe most of it can be attributed to over harvest. With all the hype the area got in the last decade, G & H attracted what I would consider a much more harder-core...

I know this is a mule deer forum but since half the crap on here has nothing to do with mule deer, I just thought I'd let you know you have a PM. I was just going to PM you but was concerned you might not check it.

Average Joe strikes it big and wins the raffle for one of Colorado's Mule Deer Governor's tags. Even though the first mule deer raffle tag that was given away by the Colorado Wildlife Federation was hijacked by someone who bought up all the tickets due to a loop-hole in the regs, Average Joe...

Anybody out there get theirs also? I got mine two days ago and had some time this a.m. to go through it. Looks very clean and I have to say this is the first time in years that I haven't looked at it for 5 minutes and put it in the "pile". Great start and new improved look. Its been a long...

The wildife commision decided yesterday to double the number of buck tags issued in those quality units. FYI and bummer for those who had hoped to draw in years to come. The best deer hunting in the state is going to get shot to hell.

If there are subjects and or areas of interest that people are upset about, there is usually a good reason. Most of the time they have some sort of personnal investment. Its interesting to do a search on someone's handle and see where their interests lie in different areas. Take GS1000 for...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-14-05 AT 01:08PM (MST)[p]I talked to a representative from SCI and they confirmed that someone has purchased all available tickets for the second mule deer raffle tag in Colorado. One person stated he was buying them all for different people and wrote one check for all the...

Love them or hate them, Governor tags are a reality. Average Joe still has a chance at the same tag through the Raffle tag sales for two Governor tags raffled by the SCI chapter of Denver and the Colorado Wildlife Federation. Now, Average Joe was kicked in the crotch and all the raffle tickets...

I was hoping we would have a new sheep nut to share some photos and stories with here on Monstermuleys. Where are you hiding? Tell us some more stories about giant Colorado rams here around the campfire. We need something to get us through the off-season doldrums. There are still a few guys...

I know for a fact that you can't buy this kind of luck because some Governor's Tag deer hunter already would have. Congratulations to Guy Eastman. He must have bought lady luck a big diamond ring. Am I jealous? HELL YA! http://www.boone-crockett.org/news/trophyWatch.asp?area=news

Anybody know what happened to his eBay store? I've bought a few things from there and didn't see anything on eBay from him just now.

Do you think your odds are better to kill a B&C mulie on public or private land? I contend that a buck has a better chance of reaching the ripe old age age of 5-8 years on public land for a couple of reasons. One, is that some areas contain exceptionally heaver cover and remoteness aiding a...

Anybody care to take a guess at the score on the stud typical buck photographed by Darcy Kramlich on the bottom of the home page? Great buck, great photo.

The velvet world record is probably broken this year but which of the two heavyweights will come out on top? The Nevada velvet typical seen all over the internet or the Colorado velvet typical lying patiently in the backroom of a taxidermy shop. My buddy has actually taped the Colorado buck so...
