And maybe a little gloating? I would be! 😬 Get a big-un!

Remember when it use to be late Dec before they out up odds?

Probably!?!?!? There is no hunt in Colorado that I would trade for that tag.

I agree. No matter what you do with the tag, you should still have your previous points plus one for this year. Just check under your account and see what it has listed as points. If there are points there, they are not affected by what you do. You could go ahead and surrender the tag now for a...

I got 3 tags and no credits.

I am happy to help to help out with anyone who drew a point! Have lots of experience and I’m almost always successful!

Got my elk tag!

Late (Dec 1) eastern Colorado deer tag!

Here are 3 guys who supposedly know what they are doing. But under hunting conditions were not close to 100% Yep, on a clear day, at the range, with no wind, using sandbags, pretty much anyone can hit inconsistently at a distance. Under hunting conditions, IMO, not so much. And I heard the...

I respectfully disagree. Yes. A 1/2 MOA rifle shoots 4” groups at 800 yards. But just a one MOA flinch (not that hard to do) means 1” at 100 (no big deal) but 8” at 800. And that’s before you factor in walking at altitude and what that does to your breathing and heart rate, factoring in the...

It’s a lot easier to do in September where you can locate them with bugles. After all, bowhunters kill some big ones! It’s true that 5 days goes fast. Which is why I would be there at least 3-4 days early and get some located. Know where to be opening morning and have 2nd and 3rd options lined...

A lot more people shoot at long range than are qualified to shoot at long range. “Stick to your guns” about letting a limit.

And you don’t have to shoot at one at 6-800 yards. I was told the same thing: be ready to shoot out to 800 yards. And to everyone that said that, I replied I don’t shoot at an elk over 400. Passed on one at 600 and ended up making a 330 yd shot. There are guys/ gals that can consistently make...

Leave Camp in the dark, return to camp in the dark. You will get different opinions on when to hunt. Success is probably pretty even between early mid or late September, but I just love the chance to hear a bugle in late September, so I recommend the last week. Units 53/54 are good elk units...

Good luck in the secondary youth draw kids!
