So, 2021 is a bit of a redemption hunt for me as last year, my house was hammered with COVID during the hunting season. This year I drew the 2nd rifle tag and began my planning and preparations. As I had hunted the area a few times over the last several years, I was already familiar with what...

Colorado's 2nd rifle season found me in the woods among the aspens when a doe being chased by a buck burst into the clearing, she turned and came right at me, he was in tow, head down, neck elongated and sniffing the air.... it was at that moment that I decided to take him..... I brought him to...

So here we were again, in unit 66 for 2nd rifle... We had some fun yet again and were able to close the deal on a nice buck!!! My friend did the shooting, the rest of us did the spotting but it was a team effort with some good friends and solid memories all around. We are looking into hunting...

So last year was my first time calling and I was able to cow call a nice branch antlered bull in for my friend, issue was he had a cow tag and the bull was all by his lonesome. Another friend of mine was able to call in numerous elk for most anyone in my hunting party. I'm interested in...

Opening day of Muzzy week, found me on the hillside with not a sound in the woods...the elk were not bugling, just like it appears in the rest of the state. We cow called and heard a branch break, a cow came out with a nice bull right behind her. Problem was, she busted me at about 5 yards and...

My friend Nate put the hammer down on this buck early in the morning. We had seen a buttload of deer and he stayed strong and patient..he knew what he wanted and wasn't gonna settle for "any" buck!! The 2nd day of our hunt, we stumbled on a deer that had been shot and was struggling. We hadn't...

I got this elk last year, it was my first ever. I didn't think was "the one" for a mount, so I did the euro mount myself. I finished it this weekend just in time for me to go after more elk this year. Just thought I'd share and let ya'll know that it can be done. The taxidermy/euro kit came...

I got a friend who drew the 2nd season tag in Unit 66, we spent this past weekend "roadhunting" and glassing far off ridges...absolutely beautiful, big buck country but we did not see the numbers of deer we expected to see... we were in the area abouve the resoivor (however the hell you spell...

So, I've got Archery for Elk in 581,511 and 591 lined up (helping a friend who just moved here get his 1st Elk)... I've got Muzzleloader Bull Elk in September (with fall turkey in between Archery/Muzzy) Then I'm going to 66 for Deer (once again helping a different friend) And I close it all out...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-05-12 AT 05:33PM (MST)[p]I might be wrong on the dreamhunter one, the actual name/style/model escapes me... but I'm just trying to get some thoughts on the different versions... I've got a Lyman traditional and played around a bit with it, but I believe I'm gonna be happier...

I just got a Lyman Great Plains Muzzleloader in the .54 caliber for the upcoming season. I'm really looking forward to my first elk hunt during the rut and screamin season.... any advice or suggestions? al

Anyone ever hunt Ft Carson for deer? I'm in the Army and gaining access is not going to be a challenge. Just curious if anyone has ever had any success on it.. I'm not looking for a hog, just looking to get my son his first deer. Last year we hunted pinion canyon for elk with no luck..

My Son has a cow tag thru 31JAN in units 133-134-142-141...I've only hunted the pinyon canyon area once and was in Afghanistan all summer, so scouting was out. I'm just wondering if anyone has idea's on where to go this upcoming weekend, have they started gathering near winter...

Well, hello Nevada thread...wanted to introduce myself on here since you'll be seein' me post here and there. I'm about to close out my military career and retire after 24 years (just dropped the paperwork so it's 12 months away) and it looks like I'm moving to the Reno area to be closer to...

http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/744eric\'s_elk.jpg So after getting skunked last year, I returned to the scene of the crime and had success!!! My friend came in from Washington and this was his first elk hunt. We spotted the elk bedded down about a mile away, we picked a...

So this is my first year playing the leftover tag game, I didn't get drawn for my deer unit and selected "refund" instead of "leftover". My assumption was that in July, leftover tags would be made available. But now I'm thinkin' did I make a mistake? What do you guys think... besides making...

So I've hunted for years, I've taken my son out a few times. He usually carries his bb gun so that he can learn how to handle a rifle and the basics. He now has a .22 and I'm getting him into the 4H shooting club to learn the finer points of shooting. I'm looking at getting a shotgun for kids...

Not to jump on the earlier thread, but I've never ever owned a shotgun... my 11 year old is going to finish hunter education and I want to get us into bird hunting together. What is a good starter shotgun for him? I'll read the other thread to see what you recommend for an adult or you can add...

I currently have a Nikon with the BDC reticle, I'm looking into a Leupold VX-3 and will be getting the "fine" duplex reticle and then sending it in for the CDS system. The 3.5-10x40 with CDS is available at the local store for about $90 less than the 3.5-10x50 without the CDS. Am I getting...

Sorry guys, wish I had pic's to show of harvested animals. All I can say is I had the hunt of a lifetime and was not able to close the deal. I had a 6 point bull about 300 yard from me and about 300 yards of trees between me and him, the satellite bulls winded me and took the whole herd with...

So after 3 years of planning and anticipating this years hunt in Colorado, the moment has come and passed. Does anyone have any kind of a recipe for tag soup??? maybe a "tagloaf" or I may even try "canned tag"

Looking for any recommendations on a good taxidermist in the Colorado Springs area. Any help is appreciated Al

Any recommendations on both a meat processor and taxidermist in the Colorado Springs area would be appreciated. Going into Unit 43 for deer and elk in 2nd rifle season and have some expectations of success. I'm new to the Springs and this will be my first year hunting here and I'm hoping to...

This is from a trip to Montana a couple years ago, my buddy and I had the rule of "first to spot has first choice on whether or not to shoot it". We just happened to be driving along and he saw this one about 200 yards off, we watched him for about 20 minutes rubbing against the tree. My buddy...

Here is a deadhead that I came across a couple years ago in Montana. It was the first whole carcass that I had seen in the woods. I liked that the fir was still on the skull. Just thought I'd share it with ya'll. remember, "if I see you in the woods, it's my fault 'cause I didn't get far...

Question for the experts out there... I'm shooting a 300 WSM with the Federal Vita-Shock in the Nosler Partition at 180 grains. I'm going on a "high altitude" hunt in Colorado and will be up around 10-11 thousand feet. So these are the conditions. Question is, "does the high altitude and...

I'm already booked and locked in for 2010 with these guys, and I'm just lookin' for anyone who hunted with them this past season. I'm all excited for a good hunt in some beautiful country with a quality organization. If you hunted with them let me know how you did. Al

All, I'm looking for a good quality spotting scope that I can pack in on my deepwoods or highmountain hunts. I've been looking at the ED50 as it is small, lightweight, has the quality Nikon optics and is very much affordable for me. I'm looking for anyone who has a solid opinion on this...

home from Iraq on R&R will have 1 day to hunt I'm currently over in Iraq and just found out I'll be home in Late October, for a few days of R&R. So my question is: If you lived in Boise and had only 1 day to hunt the general season, where would you go? Anyone got a monster tied to a tree...
