    Would have been 17 Sunday

    What a gift, that you were so blessed to have known and loved and be loved by her. Your pain must be so great. My 2 daughters mean everything to me. Thank you for opening up.

    Differences between mule deer and elk strategy?

    Unless those were resident herds of elk and deer at a lower elevation where you hunted in September, chances are they will have migrated down the slope by November. That's unless the feed is still good and snow still shallow up at altitude where you're hunting. I'd try to cut doe tracks at...

    What to look for E-Scouting

    Where I'm at, SE slopes in November are best.

    Elk in heavy recreational traffic areas

    I once saw a mature bull during the pre-rut walk across a trail at dusk that is unbelievably busy not more than 1/4 mile from a busy parking lot. He was bedded probably down in the creek just a hundred yards from there. He only had to cross 100 yards of NF to again be on private land. He...

    Opinions on Colorado's newest SWA?

    https://cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/News-Release-Details.aspx?NewsID=4064 I really don't have an opinion on this yet. This latest press release, however, caught my attention probably due to the temporal proximity to the recent vote on commissioners. I don't hunt anywhere near this area. Is...

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Yeah, the 18 Oz gloves is why people are saying this will be nothing more than an exhibition fight. As much as I would love love to see Mike Tyson hammer Jake Paul's face bloody, I don't think he'll be allowed to do so, per contract.

    Colorado Corner Crossing Legislation - HB23-1066

    Sounds like indefinitely postponed. I also see on the website the term "failed" applied to the bill. Pay attention to those senators who shot this down. https://leg.colorado.gov/content/8c0d617a6a761491872589a8006b1c3e-hb23-1066-1-activity-vote-summary Check out this article, where RMEF and...

    Standing Desk with Walking Pad?

    I love my standing desk. I bought an iMovR frame and added a custom wood top. The frame is stout and well reviewed. Love it. Added a drawer underneath the desk stop. The standing pad is good. Also use a rocker board from time to time. Makes my hyperactivity more manageable and keeps my body...

    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    I'll be getting 3 li time 100ah trolling motor batteries for my rig. I did a lot of reading and video watching and have contacted li time and they all point to a good buy. Even if they never make it past 5 years, their warranty period. I'm buying a capacity tester to test them when they arrive...

    Calling all Toyota aficionados

    I love my 2021 Tacoma. A Tundra hybrid is awfully appealing - great power and over 20mpg. But hearing how the recent years have suffered, i would wait or get the 2018, maybe. Long beds are a must for me.

    Pre season scouting

    I'm scouting habitat, primarily, not animals or animal sign. But there are resident deer and elk herds in some of the places where I scout in the summer that are still there in second and third season.

    Pre season scouting

    I hunt easy draw tags very close to home and the majority of my hunting season is pre-scouting. I love it. I've been all over the land. Makes me feel more connected to my home. But, the hunting ain't great in the rifle seasons, which are all I hunt, bc the lower elevations where they go in...

    3rd season tactics

    I've not hunted bulls in 3rd season (CO), only cows. And the cows aren't that high, that's for sure. And the younger bulls are the same elevation as the cows, or even in the same herd. I find that elk will go as flat as they can so long as there is food and sanctuary. "Steep" is relative. I find...
