    The ‘Truth Train’

    I received two different unsolicited texts today with some shortened URL to sign up. I deleted post haste. I like the idea of a more independent platform, but I’m not going to click some unverified link to who knows what. That rollout could have been managed a bit better.

    Wolf kills dog in CO

    In Colorado, they are property and you can’t use deadly force to protect property in Colorado. So it doesn’t fall under self defense. Livestock can be defended if in imminent danger, but I haven’t found specific mention of a wolf. Other predators are listed fairly clearly here...

    Photography- one photo a day

    Sunrise this morning. My hunting buddy is in the fence row.

    Photography- one photo a day

    Just about to step into the field. 29 minutes before sunrise on Saturday. Moon in the background. 20 minutes later, I was limited out.

    Considering moving before my Fiancee and I plant roots.

    I understand the point, but I think it is misapplied with the front range. Housing cost increases are outpacing median incomes by a large margin. The prices are so high in the front range that this advise falls short. For those of us already here, yes, selling and moving is great advice. If you...

    Considering moving before my Fiancee and I plant roots.

    I’m not sure when you last looked at the front range, but I wouldn’t describe it as cheap by any measure of the word. Maybe you mean 25 years ago?

    Suggestions on a cheap winter beater/work commuter

    We have an ‘02 RAV4 as a third car and it is a decent little beater car. It has 165k miles and maintenance has been minor. I just replaced the catalytic converter last year. This year was a new battery (free warranty replacement on a 2yo battery). I just replaced the rear shocks because the...

    Best upland bird vest?

    I also have a couple of the Cabela’s old vests. The cool mesh and the standard. I like them both for hunting close to the truck. If you want to upgrade to a new style, like a strap vest, you might consider the Final Rise Legacy Vest. It doesn’t have all of the extra pockets. Just the basics.

    Best upland bird vest?

    That was exactly my experience with no loops. I really thought I would miss shell loops. I prefer the dump pocket now, because I can dump a whole box in there and go on a walk all day long. Honestly, loops are usually limited to about 6 shells per side. With the way I shoot and 3 & 4 birds...

    Best upland bird vest?

    I’ve been using a Final Rise vest this year and I really like it, so far. I’ve hunted a couple of weekend and an extended trip so far. My only comparison is a standard vest and I can already appreciate the difference with a well-made strap vest. The Final Rise is very well made, and it feels...

    Wrong tires end my hunt early

    In no way, shape or form does this equate to being your truck. The man or company who laid out the capital, carries the depreciation, carries the insurance, and pays the maintenance (like new tires on the fleet credit card) owns the truck. You pay for the privilege to drive it under limited...

    Wrong tires end my hunt early

    Just imagine if you had paid for tires for your own truck and that happened [emoji849]

    Snow on the peaks! 8/20/21

    You must be joking, right? It has been so hot and smoky this year that I’d really enjoy some cold, wet weather while I chase grouse on the mountain.

    Photography- one photo a day

    Just use your imagination for what was there. I don’t find it any more distracting than other overly edited photos that some post here. You can see the thin shadow on the ground. It’s probably someone’s kid or girlfriend. When you edit these on a smartphone, it just makes a blob. I still...

    Help me catch this rat!

    The only thing that could make this better would be some Elknut rat memes.

    The toughest goodbye

    Oh man, sorry to hear that. If Moose was a golden, you were blessed with some extra time at 16 years. Here’s hoping the best memories are closest to mind for you.

    BaseMaps current wildfire layer is legit!

    Thanks for expounding upon your reasons. I’m surprised that they don’t have it on one of their many layers. But, I’d also be surprised if nobody has made a public track of the trails you’re looking for.
