    Colorado elk unit 82 first rifle questions

    That's in line with most of what I've been hearing. We're going to be out there early with about 5 days to scout so hopefully that gives us a chance to find something. I may look into going with an outfitter but I tend to prefer DIY for stuff like this. From what I've gathered, it's not a great...

    WTB MR metcalf or similar

    Looking for a pack I can use as a day pack and also use to pack out meat. I like the look of the MR metcalf, so I'm looking for that or something similar. Not going to pack in camp, so don't need anything too large a bag, but I'd like something with a frame that can haul meat. Using it for elk...

    Colorado elk unit 82 first rifle questions

    Got some first rifle season tags for Colorado unit 82, trying to figure out a game plan. I've read that amish hunt a lot of the drainages in this unit, but haven't had any luck figuring out which drainages they're usually in. Anyone have info on resources to figure this out? I've been googling...

    Colorado 1st Rifle at Flat Top Wilderness advice/experience?

    Pretty much every body of water I threw a fly in around trappers lake held fish. Lakes, creeks, you name it, I had a lot of fun fishing the inlets and outlet of trappers lake when I was out there. If you're coming in from bear river, the river (which is more like a creek at that point) holds...

    Colorado 1st Rifle at Flat Top Wilderness advice/experience?

    Beautiful country out there. Really difficult terrain in the burns near trappers lake due to deadfall, but otherwise it's pretty navigable. Bring a fly rod if you like fishing, there's some nice trout in the lakes and streams. I've never hunted the area, just fished.

    2021 Fitness Goals Thread

    Hoping to run a half marathon by the end of the year. Wish I lived somewhere that wasn't dead flat so I could train for my fall hunting trip.

    Let The Workouts Begin!!!

    I started running in Feb to prepare, and found out that I just really enjoy running! Hoping to be at a half marathon by the start of season. Doing some surfing and swimming for upper body and core strength, but that's mostly just for fun.
