    2023 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE THREAD

    Funny story, my wife was preggo last year with a due date of Jan 11. Our second child and they are 15 months apart. Baby was measuring ahead and expected to come early. Only minor complications with pregnancy with some high blood pressure from time to time. I somehow managed to still make it on...

    WTS The pay it forward / free gear thread

    If by chance any of these end up being XL, I'd take a pair. I'm flirting with 2XL but usually 2X is a little to big for me so if they are all 2XL I'd pass.

    Spotting Scope Questions from a Newbie

    Thanks for all the replies, you certainly have given me something to think about with a tripod and better binoculars over a spotter. I actually have some larger Nikon 10 x 42 binoculars as well as some mid-sized (also 10x42) Celestron ones I have, so maybe I should rig up the Nikon binos on a...

    Spotting Scope Questions from a Newbie

    Good question - I have a pair of Celestron 10x42 binos. Main reason for that size is whitetail hunting in Wisconsin but fit the bill for a good on-the-go size for elk hunting too. If I ditched the spotting scope entirely and just used binos on a tripod, what size binos would you suggest?

    Spotting Scope Questions from a Newbie

    Howdy - I'm a newbie looking for some spotting scope advice. I'm in my upper 30's, just about to have my 2nd kid in 2 years and lucky to be able to even be entertaining going on a hunt this year. Scheduled to go on a late rifle hunt in CO this year since I drew a cow tag. Baby #2 is due end of...

    WTS The pay it forward / free gear thread

    Is this camo gear for bowhunting or blaze orange for rifle hunting you're looking for? I'm much taller (and mostly wider) than I used to be but think I still have a tub of some hunting stuff from when I first got into it in my teens and early 20's. Just wondering what type of stuff you'd be...

    2022 Colorado Draw Stats - Available

    General statement here - I see others posted about stimulus money already. But safe to say Covid brought more hunters in 2020 and 2021 and now there is a bit of decline since those? I didn't look up 2020 numbers but that would make sense why down in 2022 when compared to 2022 numbers? Partially...

    I'd Rather Be Lucky Than Good - Elk Hunting Film with Ryan Avery

    Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. And with multiple of them definitely makes it a much different walk out. I was surprised walking in how noisy they were with all bell clanking. Nice to see they took it off part of the way through the vid.

    Guidelines for Posting in the Correct Forums

    Can I ask a very dumb question. I'm a newbie here and after reading threads for a week realized there are a bunch of suggestions to introduce yourself on the FNG forum. What the heck does FNG stand for? All I can think of is "F**king New Guy". I'm not sure if I'm right but this week I've...

    Wow - You have a bigger set than me. Did you cut some steaks and let them cook while you were quartering?

    Outfitter canceled $9500 elk hunt 25 July. Thoughts on 2023 outfitters?

    As others have said - thank you for your service. I hope you are able to cobble together a 2022 hunt and line up and look forward to a successful 2023 hunt.
