I don't think it will kill off all the elk either. I didn't state that. I think the concern is hunter numbers. Colorado and its OTC is a different dynamic than Wyoming. Crossbows are on a whole different level than they were 5 years ago. Hunter numbers will increase and it's not BS. I live in...
Agree there. Elk are gonna survive and hunters aren't gonna swing herd numbers. I'm sure everyone wants to show up to a trailhead with 2 or 3 trucks go into the back country and not see anyone. That's my goal. But very hard to do in Colorado.
Not to change thread or bash xbows but they have no place to be mixed in with an archery season. I live in PA and wish they would limit crossbow use to a specific season. Xbow technology hasn't even peaked yet. 60yds is a chip shot for the newest 500fps xbow. And it looks like a toy. I...
I agree with Cnelk on this. Buy for a unit and stay there and purchase license early in the year would be a start. Think they have to start somewhere. I'm a NR and would be happy with a NR quota. If I could draw every other year I would be happy with that. Keep resident sales as is. The learning...
Newer saddhunter myself. I went with an aerohunter kestrel flex. Had an order with tethrd and kinda ticked me off with their customer service. Delayed my order a few times while everyone that is an Instagram "expert" was showing up with a free saddle. This was year and a half ago. Can't talk to...
It would have been a lot better if it wasn't in the 90s almost everyday that week. Wish I was there the second week. Anyway it was still a good week. Bulls started to bugle towards the end of the week and did get into elk most days. PM me and I can give you a little more info on where to go and...
Big Jim's mountain monarch. 64in #50 at 28. Sweet shooting bow. Talked to Jim at a show. Super nice guy. I think we talked for 45 minutes just about wood. Lol.
So I drew a unit 12 archery tag. Planning on the first week and a half maybe 2 weeks. Going with my buddy and uncle who got into some elk couple years ago. But nothing great. Gonna have a spike camp but have the option of a camp on my back if need to. I understand hunt high, look for water and...
