How much can I expect to pay for a AK moose hunt?
Hi all, My brother and I are thinking about an Alaska hunt in the next 5 years and are wanting to start saving up. We are thinking Moose and/or Caribou. Love the idea of Sheep and/or Elk as well, but we can hunt Elk in the western states in which we live. I'm wondering what cost expectation we... -
Best Processor near Aspen/GWS/Rifle area
Any suggestions on best meat processor in the Roaring Fork Valley and/or down towards Junction? In the somewhat unlikely event that I get an animal on the ground, I need to know where to take it. I was hoping to process myself, but that's just not happening for me this year. My biggest concern... -
HELP! Hunt Plan Indecision
WORDY POST WARNING- thanks in advance for reading this overly detailed post and thanks even more for any advice you have! So, I’m having some serious indecision on my hunt plan for 1st rifle in Colorado. Something that I’ve been thinking about a lot is that literally every decision you make... -
Sitka Gun Sling Vs. Kifaru Gun Bearer
Anyone have thoughts on the sitka gun sling vs. the kifaru gun bearer? They seem pretty similar. I didn't know Sitka even made one until I was poking around on the internets. I've heard good things about the gun bearer but haven't used either. Would love to hear any thoughts from people who... -
Another scoring thread
I’m not one who is very concerned about scores, but I saw this buck last night on my way home from work and again this morning on my way back to work. He definitely caught my eye :) Curious - what do you think he would score. 6x4 - He’s got two cheaters on his left antler’s back fork. I have a... -
One...more...month...
Jealous of you archery folks who are out in the field. Hopefully next year that’ll be me. For now, still my .308 in hand and 31 days to go. I think my wife and co-workers would be disgusted if they knew how much my mind wanders to thinking about my seasons. I’m not one to wish time away but get... -
Mule Deer Bedding
Hi all, I'm trying to put my first Muley buck on the ground during 2nd rifle in CO this year. I'm 0 fer 2 so far. I feel pretty good about the scouting and work I've put in this year- much more than in years past. One thing I'm struggling with is finding beds. I also elk hunt and I have a... -
Scope Mounting Help
I just bought a new Leupold VX3i for my Savage .308. I recently mounted a different scope on that gun as well as an old scope on my .22, but I didn't feel as successful with mounting and leveling it well as I would have liked. Anyone have any tips and/or resources for a relative newb on this? I... -
What round does your Savage .308 like?
I'm about to mount a new scope on my Savage Model 11 .308. With my old optics, I loaded Federal Trophy Copper 168 grain and they did fine but didn't blow me away either. Before I mount and zero my new scope, I want to decide which round to use. I'd love to hear from anyone with a similar rifle... -
Spotter "newb" question...
Hi all, I just bought my first decent spotter- a gen 1 vortex razor. Before that, I had only used a spotter very sparingly and it was usually a crappy hand-me-down reddington. So, I don't have much experience behind them and thus the "newb" spotter question: I see a lot about eye... -

I live in Colorado in the unit that I hunt and am really excited about my deer tag this year. Well, yesterday morning I got even more excited when I saw this giant milling around in the brush behind my backyard fence. He was with another smaller 3x4, but this guy is gonna be a giant come fall... -
Reflections from an unsuccessful hunt. Learn from my mistakes and help me learn too!
“I had taken a moment too long, the bull was quartering quickly away. I knew I couldn’t responsibly take the shot…I had done just enough right to get the chance, and I had done just enough wrong to blow it.” WARNING- This post is overly detailed. I can’t help myself. But, if you’re interested...
