    Careers and Hunting Time

    Also recommend gov work, but as a defense contractor. You get a little less time off, just 4 weeks, but the money is close to double. Retirement options are better, too. This is something left unmentioned. Retirement. What's getting you to your goal the fastest AND is the most...

    Gmu135 question Colorado

    Saw a bunch of hunters and few bucks in 135 earlier this week. Most notably, I had a stalk busted by another hunter who was using a giant trash bag as a decoy/movement screen. It was not effective.

    Colorado Fall Black Bear

    Not really, and not looking for a fight, either. Good luck with your season.

    Colorado Fall Black Bear

    The more the animals the less the tags? Yeah, not in Colorado. That's not CPW's management plan, nor do I think that's ANY state's management plan. CPW watches the number of a specific species within the GMUs, then issues tags based off a management plan to cull, keep, or grow the species...

    Colorado Fall Black Bear

    We made it a point to go back to our deer kill sites to see if they were molested. From what we could tell, only birds had worked them over.

    Welcome Davis Tent of Colorado **Review Added 1/31/21**

    I have a 14*16 and use it with my dad every year. He's from SC so the extra shelter, heat, and comfort helps him still get after it @ 63 years old. It certainly improves my PTO, as well.

    Colorado Fall Black Bear

    Welcome to the forum. You've asked a question that triggers folks. I'll help you though. CPW makes it fairly easy, in a way. Take a look at their 2020 Big Game Brochure. Any of the deer/elk hunts (muzzleloader) that has a bear paw on it, allows for an add on bear hunt. It only takes money...

    Picking Up a 2.8 Duamax Diesel Chevy CO

    I got rid of my ecodiesel because I hated dealing with the def. The local truck stops require a "fleet card" to pump it, and the boxes are beyond annoying.

    Knight Mountaineer vs Ultralite

    I have an Ultralite. I use the (now discontinued) .50 300 gr FPB. I'll likely switch out to the THOR .50 300 gr. The recoil is no joke. The trigger is crisp and clean, with no creep. You'll need to clean the primer pocket somewhat frequently, as the 209s can get stuck. I recommend not...

    Set up/Take Down Speed

    Super good point. I've got the gear, why not try it out and see if the time frames are acceptable. Excellent point. I'm going to skip the stuff sacks for the tent, pad, and bag. I'll also get my freeze dried meal going before setting up the sleep system. Any other ideas to save time?

    Set up/Take Down Speed

    I'm heavily debating with myself to do a backpack hunt. I have the gear to be able to wall tent at the truck, tipi w/titanium stove a little ways away, or just go and not come back until I want to. My issue is the set up/tear down of camp, and also containing the condensation inside my pack...

    Looking for release suggestions

    I've got the wise guy, no problems, but I don't shoot like the shops say. I don't want them teaching my brain bad habits for rifle shooting, so I use the pad of my index finger. I have good (normal) motor control of my finger and normal nerve endings. I think if you were to put on the release...

    Hoyt RX4 tuning questions

    Have both of you shot it and got the same hole? Could be grip torque from the shooter.

    Boat recommendations

    Same. I'd never try to be nasty to another Charlestonian. There's enough of those sorts of folks around as it is. Inshore, you're really not catching that many big fish that require a gaff anyways...unless you're into the cobia. I don't know about skate, I've always just either sliced when I...

    Boat recommendations

    Looks like a cool boat. I'm glad it works for you. I think it comes down to what you're trying to do. If you're more "boater," then the above could work. If you're more fisherman, then you really can't even consider the above. I looked over the rear end, and you're not gaffing anything...

    I'm curious. What type of dual console (I assumed) do you have? BTW, a way to get everything that the dual console gives you with a T Top are T Top Curtains It's a fairly cheap <$2k upgrade that's very adaptable.

    Boat recommendations

    Apples to oranges, my dude. A sport Fisher is so much larger than a sea ray/seadoo/Chris craft style boat. It is going to have a huge stern fish fighting/landing area. Typically has a rear door. That's like comparing a cruiser to and aircraft carrier. They're wildly different sizes with...

    Boat recommendations

    Are you trying to get skinny? Like in Bull's Bay/sub 2'? If so, do a bay boat, that has a low draft, and likely a wide beam. If your'e fine in 3'+ and limiting yourself a little bit while inland, do a deep vee. If you go with a bay boat, you're limiting your capability in the ocean. I'd...

    Boat recommendations

    Go used. I'm guessing you're doing the Charleston thing. I'm from there, and I'd recommend a center console in the 21"+ class. Go for a "bay boat" or deep vee. Bay boat gives you the most flexibility. 115 hp+ Yamaha 4 stroke, with a preference towards 150 hp. Get a t top. You'll need it...
