Anyone interested in these for the price of postage?

If portions of Colorado have gone from a persistent state of “exceptional drought” to “merely” moderate drought or severe drought over the past 1/2 year, does that mean it’s been fairly wet over the past several months and maybe will be a relatively good spring, despite being in a long-term...

I am not a scope/optics expert or an extremely skilled benchrest shooter and usually am happy to get everything good enough for hunting out to 300 yards, say around 1.5 - 1.75 MOA. On a recent scope mounting, my initial shot was almost 4 feet to the left and 2+ feet high of point of aim at 100...

If anyone hasn’t been paying attention (i doubt that applies here) the gun buying frenzy has kept itself in the headlines all summer. The media has on occasion, and probably accurately so, linked this to COVID, riots, election cycle etc. I think that is a great thing. It is the most accurate...

Decisions, decisions. Be silent and figured for a fool.... or speak and remove all doubt.... Ahh what the heck…. you only live once! I am set to visit SE ID in Oct during the general deer/elk season with both tags in my pocket, good for 3 capped units for elk and 2 general units for...

I will be in ID in Oct during the deer/elk general with two friends. One of them is flying out and can only get a few days in camp. If he is successful, he would need to rush processing and freezing of any meat. Could anybody suggest a processor around or between Soda Springs and Preston...

Looking for a true and honest answer to this topic and brand/model suggestions. No bells and whistles needed or wanted - but durable and fogproof and reliable. Assume it will mostly be used on elk/mule deer, occasional antelope. 3-9x or so. Affordable but not “cheap”. Needed to help equip a...

I've always been curious what this graph looks like. In my 40's and have been hoarding points since 1998. I used an elk point in 1999. Used up my deer in 2018. Now sitting on a pile of antelope (no particular goal or urgency) and a growing pile of elk (but chasing the dust from the herd of...

Yes this will put me squarely in the "you know you're getting old when you complain about..XYZ..." camp. I am not sure what the font was before to be honest but feel that something changed. The current version of royal blue font is driving me nuts and straining my eyes. It does not look sharp...

I purchased an OTC elk licence and received a tag, a “proxy statement” and a “hunter report” but I did not actually receive an Idaho hunting licence. Does anyone know if I should have, or if this is implied by the tag? I don't want to find myself short on paper come time to interact with Mr. Warden.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-07-19 AT 05:34PM (MST)[p]I am not deer hunting this year but am noting the almost universal disgust at what seem to be poor deer numbers and excessive hunter numbers in several states by guys who are out there this season. In addition, I am discouraged by all the talk about...

Might as well be July. Weather is hot, aspens, grass and forbs are all green, not a whisper of bugling, no wallowing, few rubs, and all bulls seen (small bulls) are still in velvet! Hoping for a change later in the week.

I'm having a hard time finding info on the safe max load for a 54 TC Renegade (sidelock) 1:48 using from 430 to 535 grain lead conical and Triple 7 FFG. I will be hunting elk with it so want to start around 70 gr I suppose and work up to a bit on the stiff side, but not anything that will put...

Just curious if anyone has seen a refund hit yet?

Is there anywhere to obtain the total breakdown / count of preference point holders by species/residency in CO?

Seeking comments on the relative crowds associated with A tags vs B tags in units where both tags are unlimited (at least up to the overall cap)? This is assuming public land (NF) and that its not a migration hunt. I have never hunted Idaho before and would assume that the B rifle season is a...

Does anybody have access to a scanned copy of the 1998 Colorado Big Game Regs that they are able to share?

LAST EDITED ON Dec-31-18 AT 09:29AM (MST)[p]I've got a question for you residents, hoping you can put into perspective the weather/climate discussions we all have regarding planned elk/antelope/deer hunts. I am a NR from the east and though I follow the weather and the drought models, I am...

I have a question regarding the evidence of sex requirements in CO, from the perspective of a NR who in some circumstances can't quickly get an animal to his/her actual home. Essentially, at what point are you no longer transporting a "carcass" but allowed to reduce and process an animal into...

On the eve of departure to 201 for a muley. Any early elk or antelope hunters with last minute words of advice? Really all that would be needed and most helpful would be a suggested spot or two to set up a promising camp, as I have never been able to make it out there before and maybe a heads...

Heading for my long awaited 1st muley hunt to CO in October and debating the pros/cons of my rifle choice and I'd be interested in hearing some insight from the experts on the attributes I should be emphasizing. I am not an experienced long range shooter (longest on game was an antelope at...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-21-18 AT 06:59PM (MST)[p]I have been bothered a bit about the outcome of my 42/421 1st rifle elk hunt last year and never really found out the true story of what is happening in those areas. The hunt was an epic failure to locate game. I hunted all over from east boundary...

After reading too much Jack O'Connor as a kid, I have always had it in my mind that someday, somewhere, I would get to hunt a bighorn sheep. Early on, I occasionally put in for a draw, collected a preference or bonus point or two, watched those expire and generally then chose to avoid the high...
