    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    Well, the cash money won out, since she can't work as much when I'm not home. And she somehow also talked me into buying a fireplace/mantle and a 55" TV before I left. She really won out this year! Thanks for the ideas, everyone! As for me, the trip was fun but unsuccessful. Learned our areas...

    New purchase, Crispi Colorados

    I just picked up the Colorados from BlackOvis. This is the first set of Crispis for me. I agree, it was hard to stomach the price tag so I think that made me more critical of them. Wore them around the house and on the stair climber for a week or so but kept feeling alot of pressure under my...

    AA Battery Brands

    Another vote for Energizer lithiums. That's all I use in any of my hunting equipment now. As a cheaper alternative, between the "regular" Energizer and Duracell batteries it seemed that the Duracell performed better in cold weather. I've never messed with rechargeable batteries. Sent from my...

    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    She was tired of me always talking about Colorado so I took her there for her first time just last month. 10 days with a concert at Red Rocks that was a bucket list item. Road tripped around the state with tent camping and a couple Airbnb's mixed in. And of course visited some hot springs. She...

    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    Sounds like you have perfected the art of this. I really think you hit it it dead on when you said she should look forward to my trips instead of dreading them. That's exactly what I'll strive for. Thank you! Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

But hey, if thats what it takes for me to be gone for 2 weeks... Well, maybe! [emoji16]...

    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    I would have thought you were crazy for even saying this but a couple years ago the meat processor we went to had saved a bunch of them not knowing what he was going to do with them yet. He had mentioned making coin purses with them though! And honestly, it didn't seem like a bad idea. Maybe not...

    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    Wow! Thanks, guys! Lots of good ideas and a few I would have never thought of, especially the amazon wishlist. Turns out she has a pretty extensive one. Who knew? I'll probably set up a babysitter for a night and pay for dinner for her and a friend. The notes around the house is a great idea...

    Gift Ideas for the Wife at Home

    Hey folks! I'm about 3 weeks out from my Colorado elk hunt, and just remembered I haven't planned any gifts for the wife while I'm gone. Her hands are full with 2 kids ages 11 and 3, and she will still be working a handful of days. The past couple years have either been a gift card to the spa or...

    Meat processor near Eagle CO

    We used Action Taxidermy and Processing in Gypsum, which is another exit or two down from Eagle. Eric the owner was a super nice guy and really helpful. I'll absolutely use him again if we get the chance. We took our elk in Monday. Went back out hunting and he had it processed, wrapped very well...

    "Accepting the Challenge of Western Hunting," By Rokslide Member Justin Smith

    I'd like to read this article but its redirecting me to a lathrop & sons thread. Am I missing something? Or does anyone have another link? I made my first trip out west last year for archery elk. I'd love to compare notes with this article! Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk

    Meat Processors around Carbondale/ Glenwood Springs

    I'll give a 2nd shout out for Action Taxidermy in Gypsum. Its about 35 minutes from Glenwood Springs. We used him last week for a bull. Great guy to deal with. Meat was wrapped and marked exceptionally well, too. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. There's a place that comes up on...

    Gritty Bowmen w/Denning & Snyder

    What's your commute like? I have an hour commute each way. There aren't enough podcasts to pass the time! I'm guessing alot of guys are in the same boat. I've listened to Gritty Bowmen since the beginning. Brian brings a lot of fun and is an excellent interviewer. Aron brings a lot of real...

    Long time lurker from PA

    Hi all Been a long time reader of the forum - a little over 2 years. I'm not much of a poster to begin with and, heck, most of the info I've ever wanted is already on here somewhere, anyway. I can guarantee I've learned more here than any other site or forum when it comes to western hunting...
