Thanks for the info. I’m aware of the harvest reports. That unit just opened so there isn’t much data available. I’ve spent months in other goat units but this area is fairly new to me. You are right that goats hang out along trails with hikers. There is a 14er in the unit so likely has quite...
I thought I would toss this out there to see if anyone has any experience hiking or hunting in the Holy Cross Wilderness in Colorado? My son drew a mtn goat tag this year. I've spent a little time in the area but not recently. I'm just trying to pin down a few areas to start looking. You are...
You would be amazed at how quickly hair grows from the 1st through later season dates. Nannies get rid of their scraggly previous year's hair the longest into the fall while mature billies are the first to shed and grow long hair in the fall. If you want nice hair I would definitely advise a...
My guess is they have areas to park a trailer in Cheyenne out of most of the howling wind. My son just starting out of college bought a nice house in Greeley that was a chunk cheaper than west of I25. If you like small towns there are several along Hwy 85 such as Eaton that would be nice family...
I constantly go back and forth between my 10x 42 and Swarovski spotter. If you have the $ you would be impressed with Leica 10x42 rangefinder combo. It’s definitely worth the investment. You can spot a buck and have it ranged in a matter of seconds. Also don’t have to worry about haulage an...
I grew up in Wyo and have lived in Colo the past 30ish years. The one thing I hated more than anything in Wyo was the constant wind. It's pretty hard to get used to even after living there for over 20 years. The weather in the Fort Collins area is about as good as it gets anywhere! The only...
Great podcast! It is exciting that the word is finally getting out about the impacts cheatgrass has on native species, species diversity, wildfires, and the health and productivity of wildlife! Great job guys!
One thing I would like to add is how resilient and quickly native species respond...
I say put the rifle season during time of year when it's the toughest to harvest older age class bucks and if it snows there is tough access. The rifle deer season could also be after the rifle elk season date starts. Mature bucks are a lot tougher to find once they've seen and heard elk...
I would caution with using the Helag and Anjan with just the fly except in favorable conditions. I can pretty much guarantee it will get wet inside with wind and snow/rain. The fly doesn't hit the ground! I usually bring super light painter's plastic to keep dirt and water off my gear even...
I have the 3 person nallo 3 gt. It’s really nice having the extra space and large vestibule. It doesn’t have the ventilation of the 2 door Kaitum.
If you go Kaitum you may notice the difference in total wt between the regular and gt. The gt is 2 lbs more. The vestibule is 1/2 the size of...
I hope every resident hunter and angler in Colorado submits their comments in the below link. It only takes about 1 minute and goes directly to the senator in your area.

There are a lot of considerations between type 1 and 2. As mentioned above, some type 2 have different limitations not only with season dates but locations open to hunting.
First, a chunk of the larger bucks obviously have been cherry picked and shot. If a unit has a lot of tags plus private...
