    Idaho or Colorado for diy elk

    They’re all going to suck. Fish and game wouldnt issue tags OTC If success rates were high. Pick the one that makes the most sense logistically for you and go.

    Colorado deer 2021 (8 points)

    Of the ones you mentioned I would go with 53, especially with the dates next year. 66 would be a strong second.

    Christensen Problem

    You should try again. I've used their customer service before and had very good luck with them. I think you caught the wrong guy on the wrong day. I bet if you copy a link to this thread and send it to their manager you get a call quick. I've had great luck with their products. Hope it works...

    Best place to live Colorado

    I love that country up there. I didn't make it back this year, but last summer I went through. It was definitely more touristy than I remember. Biggest thing that stuck out to me was how busy the trailheads where. It kind of sadly reminded me of CO.

    Best place to live Colorado

    I would not consider CO a good place to live anymore. We left after 9 years and never looked back. If you want good schools, you'll pay a premium for housing. Also accessing the mountains on a Friday afternoon can be rough. If 500K for a house fits your budget comfortably I would look at...

    Tough archery hunt unit 66 CO

    I'm amazed at what NR drop on points in that unit. Personally I don't think it's worth it. CPW actually states in past herd objective reports that its still managed for opportunity. Maybe OTC was a poor choice of words. Point is, if a res wants to hunt it every year he/she can. Hell the leftover...

    2 points for archery, all the rifle tags can be zero points.

    Tough archery hunt unit 66 CO

    I guess it's more black and white than that for me. As long as the OP enjoyed the time spent with his brothers, that's what's important.

    Tough archery hunt unit 66 CO

    I would consider 2 dead bulls, 50% success, with archery equipment, on public, in a unit that is mostly OTC for residents, pretty damn fine hunting. Not sure what else you could ask for, but what do I know. I spent 9 days in 54, just across the lake last November scouting/hunting during 4th...

    Co 66 help

    I hunt 66 often, and shed hunt it when I don't have a tag. I can probably help some. You should be seeing alot of deer. I think with the lack of bucks killed last season its a great year to have a tag there. PM me and I'll see if I can help.

    Elk calling in 2nd rifle?

    I've had bulls in full on rut mode in mid November on a 4th rifle elk hunt. Screaming, fighting, the whole show. You never really know what can change from year to year.

    Judge my 6.5cm performance on bull elk

    Ballistics calcs are showing that load dropping below 1500 ft.lb of energy at 400 yards. I would think 400 would be an absolute maximum with what I would be comfortable with. It sounds like that's where you're at anyway. That being said the accubond is a great bullet. I have had very good luck...
