    Samick Woodsman

    Ended up with a near-new Samick Woodsman takedown recurve as part of a trade deal. Previous owner stated he twisted a limb when stringing it. No delam or cracks, but can tell bottom limb is twisted a little bit. Fairly new to trad, accomplished compound shooter for decades. Have searched all...

    WTB Superdrive 23's for my daughter

    Daughter has been really progressing in her JOAD league here locally. We're finally at that point where we need to get an indoor target arrow setup that's different from her hunting arrows (Pierce Kaos). Does anybody have some T4 23s that can be cut to 26" c-c length for a youth shooter whose...

    Emma's First Mule Deer

    My daughter Emma harvested her first deer this last Saturday in CO. It was perfect. We jumped a little buck, it bounced and stopped offering a hard quartering away shot. She has been shooting in the local JOAD league for 2 years. 35 yards is her max range. She shoots a Quest Storm 45# with...

    WTB Large Lumbar Pack

    Looking for a premium lumbar pack: Cure, Hellcat, Bison Gear Lost River, etc. If you have one gathering dust let me know and we'll chat. Have used Badlands, MountainSmith, and Alps in the past - not large/comfortable enough for what I need this year. Thanks!

    Last Minute OTC e/s Opportunity: 8/30-9/4

    Partner had a conflict. If you want to meet me on the mountain, and have a hunt to trade later in the year or next, this might be of interest to you. SE Colorado, 3 mile pack in, 2,000' elevation gain. Must be self sufficient and OK hunting solo and just sharing a base campsite. I will...

    Point Creep reality check - Colorado (non-Big 3)

    The 5 units I focus on for deer/elk/antelope tend toward marginal/low-point units where area knowledge is required to overcome herd numbers and topography/ownership challenges. In looking at the draw stats for 2019, I saw in my 3 favorite units what has traditionally taken 1+ point to draw for...

    Help for a youth set-up

    Very experienced archery hunter myself. Getting my kid ready for her first archery deer hunt this year. She is pulling 40# but only has a DL of 22". She is shooting an off-brand compound, hard to find that short of a draw length in legal poundage configurations. Given the incredibly short...

    Vintage bow retired!

    This year I finally retired an old 1999 Parker Force-Multiplier. At the time it replaced an Oneida X80 that decided to explode in the elk woods one morning at full draw. Kind of sad in some ways - that Parker has stacked a lot of meat in the freezer and is essentially unchanged from the first...

    Daughter is taking hunter safety this week (CO)...

    Those who have been around here for at least the last year or two know Emmalee, my youngest daughter (12), is my sidekick on the mountain whether it is hunting, camping, riding the ATV, or fishing. She's logged more miles/hours in the woods than a lot of adult men and definitely has processed...

    Parker Archery

    I seldom see much here about Parker bows. I have used their equipment for years and lots of meals have been shared by family as a result of consistent and durable performance. Received an email today stating they are closing their doors. Whether we use a particular company or not, losing a...

    Eberle Mainframe Upgrade

    The biggest drawback people mention regarding Eberlestock are the non-functional load lifters. After helping a buddy pack elk quarters this winter I decided to work on solving this issue for my Mainframe. Yep - lots of better packs out there (SO/EXO/MR/Kif/Ku/SG/etc., but this pack happened to...

    AGC CUB MAX with Eberlestock Frame?

    I use a Eberle Mainframe. After using the Nosegunner for a couple of seasons I am moving into the AGC CUB MAX. I love the Nosegunner but the tiny side pockets just don't work for some of my new gear I've picked up recently. Will the buckles on the AGC marry up to the Eberle chest pack straps...

    Issues with Gout

    Anybody here suffer from gout? Specifically, if you suffer from this horrible affliction, what foods are you taking into the woods on a backpack trip to make sure you don't get a flare-up when hunting deep? What "common" backpacking foods do you avoid at all costs when going deep? Any issues...

    Field judging Colorado bears

    New to bear hunting, have seen quite a few in the woods while cruising timber and hunting deer/elk but have only recently started considering them a "game animal" I would pursue. For the last several years my cameras have been littered with them in this particular area. So, below are several...

    Antelope and sunflower "forests"

    Just got back from dove hunting and scouting in my antelope unit, SE Colorado. That area has received the full brunt of the monsoonal flow and what used to be cholla cactus flats have turned into thick forests of sunflowers 4'-6' tall, and really too thick to walk through with any hope of...

    Mapping Software

    For 10+ years I used AllTopo Maps software from IGage. Their customer support was second to none - replaced 7 scratched disks for me for free over the years at no cost - not even shipping. Kudos to them. I am looking for another program to use. They do not make the topo map software anymore...
