    colorado cow moose

    Anything over 3 is a weighted point, which essentially means more of a chance to draw, however small. There’s an explanation here: https://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/Brochure/SheepandGoat.pdf

    Corned venison recipe?

    I cured a 4 lb elk pastrami using shaws recipe for 5 days. Cure made it to the center just fine. I prefer the pastrami over corned.

    colorado cow moose

    For some reason I was thinking 3 + 3, but now that I think on it, anyone with 3 + 1 is eligible. Yeah, I think that’s how it works….

    Depends on what it’s for but if it’s a burrito or tacos I almost always reach for straight Tabasco.

    Semi-fillet Elk Quarters?

    If I’m cutting quarters off bone it’s all coming off. I’ve never boned a quarter in the field to cool the meat specifically, always to save weight.

    Teach Me

    Find water in the most remote patch of ground you can find would be a start without knowing the particulars of the area. What looks like good deer country might not hold any while you’d be surprised to find deer in other areas… lots of other variables, too, like migration and adjacent private...

    Euro Gone Wrong. Need advice

    Butcher boy is right on the money. Done quite a few that way. Looks like you better find another skull guy. Is he using bleach in the water or just boiling too long? Wow…

    Blinds

    Yes, up to about a month some years. I use 10” landscaping spikes instead of the chinsy little ones that come with the blind.

    Archery Elk shoulder blade shot

    I shot a cow at 20 yards with a muzzy 4 100 and got a complete pass through, dead centered the shoulder blade. I was shooting a bowtech tomcat at the time, 70 lb, 29” draw. No idea on arrow weight, whatever they had at sportsman’s warehouse at the time.

    How can I like the taste of venison

This is dependent on the cut and/ or dish, but you can start with grinding in some beef fat to burger and using marinades for whole cuts. Other stuff like not cooking it to death and resting after cooking… Also, don’t...
