    First elk hunt and success (long post)

    I can’t agree with you more! We held a couple of zoom meetings to go over the hunt and at the first one I told them that I would be astounded if we even saw an elk. This is where I was most impressed with their attitudes. They took that in stride and were just pumped to go climb a mountain. I’m...

    First elk hunt and success (long post)

    I’m a bit late on putting this up here as this hunt happened during Colorado’s muzzleloader season. I’ll start out by saying I research A LOT. I don’t watch much tv, instead I review maps, draw odds, prospective hunts and anything else that will help me be successful. This is by no means my...

    Clothing Question

    One hunt in my catalyst pants and several hones in the pant legs. I hunt hard and somewhat expect to get a hole or two, but this was crazy. With the second hole I didnt have my needle and thread on me so I had to wait to get back to the truck.... I could have fit a softball in there. My wife's...

    Bear Season!

    Ill be headed to colorado next week to chase some black bears. Hopefully the deer and elk hunters havent been too active, but it really doesnt matter. It will be nice to get out and look at what nature has to offer. I guess I'll have that "camp fire" smell ready for me with all the fires in the...

    Colorado Fall Black Bear

    I have done quite a bit of research into Colorado bear hunting and how the management plan. Colorado’s black bear management data gathering analysis is very dedicated. They publish plenty of the research publicly and tag allocations seem to reflect the data gathered. However, there are plenty of...

    Got my MN whitetail back from the taxidermist

    It was a little chilly last season! It got the deer moving though, I never complain when it’s cold during deer season. They gotta stay warm too!

    Got my MN whitetail back from the taxidermist

    Never had anything but a fish mounted, so I was slightly nervous. The taxidermist came recommended by some family and friends. It took him from November to August to get mine finished as he was really busy. Very happy with the result. The buck was in deep rut with the most swollen neck I’ve ever...
