    Cwd...?

    So I called cpw and asked about high prevalence of cwd in front range unit, whether or not it would be preferable to shoot a younger buck to reduce my chance of harvesting cwd- positive deer. I know to stay away from brain and spinal column/fluids... but I like to eat ribs and shanks. Anybody...

    Steep angle shots

    So I missed buck with mz at 30 yards! I was about 25 to 30 feet above him on rock looking down - at him looking straight at me as I peeked over. No shot as his body was in between antlers.. I was conscious of aiming low... but bottom of chest hold might have hit him in face. Chest hold may have...

    Velvet..

    Check ou this velvet I found on lake shore. It was about ten feet from water. Did not look disturbed at all. My guess is that buck went swimming and then shook his head on the shore and everything came off? No trees or bushes within 100 or more yards. Numerous dog tracks around but maybe none...

    This is NOT A HUNTING FORUM, EITHER

    I am so sick of all the crap on here not related to hunting. Go join whatever Trump' s new media source is to share all the conspiracy theories and all the "this country is going to hell in a handbasket" stories. Yeah, and hunting was better back in the good Ol days and all the new music...
