    Wolf Depredation In Grand County, CO

    There are a lot of differing opinions and views: ranchers, animal advocates, conservationist, hunters, residents, non residents, biologists, and others. I think it is healthy to debate the issues and to consider differing viewpoints. Here is a recent article for a different perspective -...

    WTS 300 Savage brass

    Do you still have 300 savage brass? Any Winchester brass or is it all Remington? I am definitely interested if Winchester.

    Moving out West

    My only advice is no matter what you decide, do it while you are single. Once you get married, having a family and other responsibilities makes the freedom of doing what you want, living where you want and moving when you want much more difficult. Not to say it cannot be done, and there are...

    Drinking Nothing but Water for a Full Year

    While I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory that correlation always means causation, with Soda there was definitely something going on. I don't remember at what age I began drinking Soda. It was the 70s so it was advertised and sold everywhere At around 10 or 11, I started getting nose...

    Seating depth - does it even matter?

    Reading though the posts and articles makes my head hurt. For most hunting situations at average distances within 200-300 yds, who gets more than 3 shots at an animal out of a cold barrel? Elk don't care about 10 shot groups off a bench in perfect weather conditions. Hunting situations have...

    Which do you think is hunted harder OTC archery or Rifle in CO

    Not doubt but 1st rifle season draw only with 2nd and 3rd rifle season having a bunch of OTC units. On the other hand, there is a lot of OTC archery units and some of the draw units don't take a bunch of points, so it is not a parallel comparison between Archery and 1st rifle season. I took...

    Which do you think is hunted harder OTC archery or Rifle in CO

    Depends on whether you are talking about 2nd, 3rd or 4th season rifle. Early seasons have more hunters but the later seasons tend to be less because of weather, which presents a different set of challenges when hunting Elk.

    Using Slightly Spoiled Meat

    Hereinaz has the best explanation of the relationship between all the major factors for keeping meat from rotting. He must either be a physician or forensic coroner 😊. His theory on uneven cooling in coolers is correct. Meat covered in layers of ice are chilled more evenly in a cooler, and...

    I'm a slow butcherer...

    If I am solo butchering, it definitely takes me a long time. But with 1 or 2 friends that take the same care as I do, it goes 3x faster. We set up so we have a processing line. One person does the deboning (if necessary), major breakdown to quarters, hair clean up, and outside silver skin...

    Drinking Nothing but Water for a Full Year

    Loper - to answer your question: Cutting out Soda was fairly easy at 13 YOA and after a while I never missed it. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have stopped drinking it if I wasn't getting nose bleeds. Within 5 minutes of drinking half a can, my nose would start gushing blood. Didn't matter...

    + cwd

    I would have never imagined that a CWD discussion would result in such a wide and deep division of opinions, arguments, anecdotal evidence and claims. It definitely has fallen into the hot button topics category along with politics, the source of COVID, vaccinations and other divisive issues...

    Gear that lasted over 20 years

    If you ask my wife, all of my stuff is over 20 years old. I even have High School T shirts that she wears that are well over 20 years old.

    Drinking Nothing but Water for a Full Year

    I have mostly drank water for over 40 years. I stopped drinking soda at 13 as it would give me nose bleeds. Never touched that stuff again. Occasionally, I will have a beer or two. That only happens once a month. I don't drink hard liquor, coffee, milk or tea. I cut out candy 25 years...

    Advice for bringing your dog on a hunt

    Carry heavy duty wire cutters or cable cutters as part of your dog kit. Getting a dog wrapped in barb wire or caught in a snare is a nightmare without good cable cutters. Leatherman sometimes works with a lot of grip strength but not for aircraft cable used for snares.
