    Archery - Open Country, Draw Hunting

    An area I hunt consists of your traditional river bottom habitat couple with many draws or ditches in very open country, only a tree or two every couple hundred yards heading to it (sample map attached). I've hunted the river bottoms with good success for the last 10 years, but this year I...

    Colorado Big 3 PP Fee

    Sheep / Goat / Moose preference points, on top of requiring some sort of hunting license (small game or turkey, NOT fishing license) and paying the app fee, will now be $50 R / $100 NR. YouTube ( Investigating the fee for other species was deferred until next year. )

    Tough days in SE Colorado

    We had 3 buck and 3 doe tags between our group of four in an easy to draw unit in SE Colorado. We had a friend and my father along for their first pronghorn hunt. Even with some private land access, we had a tough time finding them this year, not to mention the storms that rolled through this...

    CO Archery Eastern Plains - Help?!

    CO Archery Eastern Plains - Mulie vs Whitetail Strategy? I am ridiculously excited about this upcoming hunt. I've got a tag for the CO Eastern Plains and have access to about 10k acres to hunt.

    2017 CO Point Creep Analysis for Top Units

    I computed these numbers by taking the difference in preference points required for 2016, plus the difference in percentages who drew at that level. Check out NR EE040O4R ... jumped from 100% @ 8 points to 40% at 11 points ... youch! My guess is NRs are giving up holding out for 2/201 and...

    Classified Categories?

    Any thoughts on splitting the classified forum into categories? Maybe there is a trick I don't know about, but that forum turns over on the order of 10 pages a day and its very time consuming if you're just watching for one kind of item. Something like the breakdown of the gear forum would make...

    WY Unit Access Question, 2 pref points

    My wife and I have 2 pref points. We want to cash out before all the fee hikes in 2018. $500+ ($324 tag, $70 archery stamp, up to $75 per point...) to archery hunt a pronghorn just isn't worth it for us when we live in Colorado. Neither of us care about the animal size all that much, we just...

    Muzzleloader Pronghorn Thoughts?

    My wife drew a CO muzzy pronghorn buck tag for the end of September. We've hunted this unit before with a rifle and been fairly successful. She'll be hunting a "small" piece of public land that doesn't have much in the way of terrain to hide in. At the moment she's thinking of settings ambush on...
