    CO unit 61 info

    My brother, who's not on rokslide, has enough points to draw unit 61 archery with 100% certainty. So I'm trying to help him out. I totally understand if you don't want to give up that info, no problem, but being that it's basically a once in a lifetime tag, I was hoping some folks would. I...

    I bought this phone on Oct 5, so it's basically brand new, it's only been used to verify that it works. I'm getting rid of it as I'm done elk hunting after 25 years. I had cell service where I hunted and this was my backup phone. Paid $293, asking $250, I'll pay shipping.

    muzzle cover while hunting

    I try to account for everything that could go wrong on an elk hunt, so I've been thinking about putting something over the muzzle to keep out sticks debris, mud. Been meaning to for years. I read where someone uses electrical tape, so while at the range yesterday, I put some electrical tape...

    how to subscribe to a thread

    I'm very computer literate, and I've subscribed to threads before, but I can't figure how to do it again. I searched for the answer but couldn't find it. So how do you subscribe to a thread? And how do you see your subscribed threads? EDIT: nevermind, just figured it, after two weeks of off...

    sighting in rifle in cold weather

    I just bought a Tikka superlite in 300WM. It's at the gunsmith getting 2 inches removed from the barrel. I'm anxious to get it to the range to make sure it shoots at least decent and there's nothing wrong with it. The gunsmith said I should wait to shoot it until temps get to 55 degrees and...

    Getting hock smell on the meat

    When I get an elk down, I’m normally by myself and invariably I grab a hock and then grab some meat in the course of boning out, so I run across cuts that have that hock smell. Its’s dang hard when muscling around an elk, not to do that at some point. How do other folks not run into this issue...

    toes getting jammed in toe box

    I’ve had these lowa Cevedales for 3 years, no issues, but now every time I go down hill with weight, it’s very uncomfortable because my toes are jamming the front of the boot. I’ve done nothing different since day 1 with the boots, so I have no clue what has changed. I’ve tried lacing them up...

    tips for hunting in wide open flat sagebrush country during CO 2nd rifle

    A friend in CO tipped me to where some elk are living in the wide open flat sagebrush country, he saw them when he was coyote hunting. I've always hunted in the mountains, I don't have any experience in wide open flat country. Another friend told me a different spot I should check out, said he...

    entire San Juan forest in southern CO closed to all use due to fires

    Hope this resolves before hunting season or there will be mass chaos in those units. Fortunately, I don't hunt in the San Juan forest or I'd be real worried. I'm already a little worried b/c I hunt not too far from there and I have no stomach for showing up at a new unit.

    regarding ammo, what does "cartridge run out" mean

    I'm reviewing new ammo for my 338 win mag, the old ammo it was dialed in for is no longer available, and I came across this in a review of a certain ammo: "In my very fickle SAKO 338 Win Mag this ammo gives me 3/4" groups at 100m when I sort each cartridge for run out. The ones with the...

    ideas about why I see elk in spot 1 but not spot 2

    So I found a spot 5 or 6 years ago, I've seen multiple legal bulls there every year since. It's really grazed hard and reeks of elk, but the grass is kind of sparse. Spot 2 is 2 miles away, it also has water close by, but the grass is thick and untouched. Neither spot gets much pressure. I...

    what to do about Leupold scope out of vertical adjustment

    I changed ammo and it prints significantly lower than the previous ammo I used and I've run out of vertical adjustment. The ammo I was using went out of Production 10 years ago and I bought a bunch then, but now I'm out. I'm using medium Leupold mounts, had them for 20 years. Leupold sent me...
