    Golden Retriever / Now What?

    Ok, my daughter got a English Golden Retriever, its almost pure white. We picked it up from the pound as a rescue dog. She is very stubborn and is constantly wanting something to chew. Where to begin. Finally got her off-leash without her running away. The dog is very smart. Never have...

    Moving-On to other parts of Colorado

    Trying to decide when to move on from an area that the first year I hunted it (2018) I practically had elk running me over on opening morning. I saw 2 shooters and over twenty cows. Another hunter in my group saw more in the same spot the following year on opening day and no one else ever saw...

    I have a 2017 FX Off-Road F-150 fully loaded XLT with a a lot of miles (107K) and the other day the big screen, car play thingamajig started going haywire and eventually went completely blank. No back-up camera, no radio, no hands-free phone, directions and on and on. Took it in and said it is...

    F-150 All-terain tires

    Ok, I travel to Colorado each year, WV a couple of times, Florida and all over Georgia. I know I really need a sedan instead of a truck, each trip to WV and Colorado and I usually need a 4X4 in a truck, plus I love my truck. So I need a good highway tire but in the fall I need a good tire with...

    CWD?

    Apparently, now I am having to have my elk brain matter tested "when" I get a bull elk in my unit, or should I say hopefully. Where would I get this done around Rifle, Colorado? Lastly, how long will it take out of my trip back East? What happens to the elk meat if the results are positive for...

    Savage 110 Ultralite Issues

    I recently bought a Savage 110 Ultralite in a 30-06 caliber. I tried to put a scope on the rifle using Talley Ultralite mounts and they did not work, and this was after I found out (don't ask) that I needed to order from Talley to get their 8-40 screw mounts. I have a Nikon Prostaff P5 2.5 X...

    Ultralite Dilema

    So I have been looking at a lot of Ultralite rifles from everyone out there it seems like, and it seems as though everyone is using a No.1 barrel or carbon fiber wrapped barrels. Not happy about trying a No. 1 barrel. My understanding is they cannot be free floated because all of the warping...

    McMillian, Bell & Carlson, etc.?

    I have a Model 70 Classic Stainless in 7mm Rem. Mag. and the stock isn't very good. I am looking to do an up-grade and was wanting some input on what would be a good stock replacement and what problems should I be looking out for when doing an install. The barrel and action seem to be pretty...

    Kimber, Savage & Tikka ??????

    I have been looking at Tikka, Kimber and Savage. Don't like the price of Kimber Moutain Ascent but really like the rifle and it ticks off all of the boxes, a Savage 110 Ultralite and a Tikka Superlite. Don't really like the stock on the Tikka and was a little bit concerned about the changes on...

    30-06 Bullets?

    Why can't I find any bullets. I never thought that I would have trouble getting bullets for my Dad's old 30-06 I was going to hunt at Thanksgiving with. I have search a few usual spots and everything is completely gone. Any suggestions are welcomed.

    Time Stamp

    Is it just me, but I keep seeing weird times when I send stuff out here that the time stamp is completely wrong about the time that I sent it. It appears as though I am sending messages out in the middle of the night or morning. What gives? Mainly it happens in my private conversations.

    What size of trailer for truck?

    Ok, I am thinking about buying a trailer to take family out West, up North and to Florida and have the F-150 with all the bells and whistles. It is a 3.5Liter Twin Turbo and a heavy duty tow package. So how big of a trailer can I go with? A 20 footer, 25, 30 or bigger. What do you think...

    Shower / Dishwasher

    I am trying to set up my own dishwasher / shower water pump system for my base camp so that I can wash dishes and take a hot shower if needed. The pump would need to be powered by a 12 volt marine battery. Would like to be able to turn the water on and off like in a sink at home...

    Colorado Success Again

    For the 4th year in a row, me and my hunting partner have gotten our 1st selection in Colorado. He got a cow tag and I got a bull tag. Just got to get this torn meniscus thing worked out. I am definitely getting some stock this year if I can find someone to help me out with that. I have been...

    Light at the end of the tunnel!!!

    Well I think that we can finally see the end or beginning of the end to the Covid-19 Pandemic. It may take a few months to a year or so to get back to normal, so to speak, but I am starting to plan for the elk hunt 2020. Washing and organizing everything now instead of the month before I go as...

    Bows for Gorilla armed guys?

    I am looking at a compound bow for me but I am 6'4" with 37" long arms. I have looked at Hoyt XL, but was wondering about others. I would need bows that have 31" to 32" draw lengths.

    30-30, 30-06, 45-70 etc.

    This is probably the wrong place to post this thread and if needed to be moved so be it. But I have always wondered what the 2nd group of numbers referenced in the calibers as noted in the title meant. Is it the amount of powder or some other measurement or what?

    TO SCOUT OR NOT

    If you had a day or two before rifle season begins, would you go out and search for elk rest and acclimate to the elevation gain since coming from the east by vehicle over two days. I worry about spooking the elk or alerting them to our presence. This is assuming that you have a general idea...

    Hunting Trip from Hell

    1st Rifle Season in Colorado 2019: Well I had to tell you guys about my recent trip out West. I realize it is more therapy for me than anything. After last year when I hit the jackpot, this year was quit a bit different. Last year I had a 5x4 down by 8:00 a.m. on opening day on my first trip...
