    Eastern Colorado Whitetail outfitters?

    Has anyone hunted the plains or river bottoms of Eastern Colorado for whitetails with an outfitter? If so, any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Looking to hunt with rifle or bow in 2025. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you’re goal was to harvest an Antelope if every state that allows non-resident hunting what would be your strategy?

    Archery definitely on the table, I don’t have a muzzleloader yet but would like to get one at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sheesh, I knew it was rough but seeing 6k being racked up for Antelope makes me wants to abandon that State. That’s pretty terrible, I’ll have to think on that for a while Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If you’re goal was to harvest an Antelope if every state that allows non-resident hunting what would be your strategy?

    It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, long time lurker though, this isn’t a “what unit” type of post but more of a strategy question to you wise men who’ve been there more than I have. I’ve harvested in Wyoming and Colorado. I love pronghorn, and one of my bucket list goals is to harvest a buck...

    Access in WY 25/26/56/113?

    I killed a decent buck 3 hrs ago in 113. You’ll see the obvious access points are limited, there’s only like 3-4 roads that get into the BLM and they don’t go far. That massive patch up in the northwest takes about 4-5 miles of walking to get into from the south. That was my initial goal before...

    Which weekend of the season do y’all prefer to hit given the choice?

    I’m up in the air on how to schedule my pronghorn hunt this year. Colorado season runs Oct 3-11, starts on a Sat. I’ve waited quite a few years to draw this tag, so I want to be picky and spend some time if I can. But unfortunately, I don’t think I can take more than two days off work. So that...

    Colorado BLM 37,371,18,28

    OMG thanks for the new spot bro! I’ve been up in that corridor between 371 and 37 quite a bit for archery elk and once for 2nd season deer. Any of those low access points off HWY 9 get hit pretty hard and I’ve rarely seen any wildlife on those BLM spots. I would guess it’s good in 4th season if...

    Wyoming Deer 2020

    Unless you’re doing Special draw you’ve got 5% chance to draw 81 with 5 pts. Point creep took what was a 100% unit at 4 pts last year to 100% at 6 pts this year, at least that’s according to Go Hunt draw odds which have been spot on in my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How many hunt solo

    I almost always go solo because I don’t want the availability of others to dictate my seasons. It drives my wife crazy, but rifle seasons in CO are too short to wait around for a buddy. I enjoy doing things on my own terms, hike as far as I want to, where I want to, when I want to. The only...

    Kuiu dcs guide hooded vs Kryptek vellus jackets

    I used it 4th season Colorado last year for the first time during some straight up nasty weather. 20-30 degrees pounding sleet/rain/snow mixture with some pretty good winds and it shook that stuff off like it was nothing. Now obviously I was layered up really well underneath which probably...

    What’s your attainable bucket list for hunts look like?

    I know a Marco Polo sheep, Himalayan Ibex, or Sable are animals we always say in passing “man id love to hunt one of those some day!” (At least I do), but what are your realistic bucket lists animals that you plan on pursuing and harvesting in your lifetime? I’m probably never going to go on an...

    How does Utah work for mule deer

    Actually you can put in for PP or Bonus point only. I did it the past draw period and plan to do it again this year. Buy the required nonresident hunting license and add a species for $10 I think it is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Post Colorado 4th season review and questions

    As a resident, I drew a 4th season tag this year in a unit that doesn’t require many points, I can probably draw it again in 2019. But I was pumped cause it was my first rut hunt and obviously the competition from other hunters was low. I was hunting around 8,000 ft everyday in the aspen...

    Getting blood off of a backpack?

    What are some of your preferred methods? I’ve got a horn hunter mainbeam XL that’s got a lot of antelope blood at the bottom on the inside and on the outside. It doesn’t come apart as far as I know. I messaged horn hunter for their input but no response yet. Shout? Soak it in the tub with...
