    Ford Raptor Daily Drivers

    I just traded in my 2018 Raptor for a 2022 gen 3 Raptor. It seems to have even more room in it if that is possible. And I don’t think the cam phaser is an issue on the gen 3s. Can’t wait to get more goodies added to it. Last one turned 136k miles and I hated to let it go. Hope this one goes for...

    Opinions on newer F150 onboard generators

    I am upgrading my truck to a 2022. They have a 2kw onboard generator as an option built into the bed of the truck. The truck I’m purchasing does not have this option from the factory installed but it is one of the designated trucks from Ford to have this option. Has anyone added an aftermarket...

    I’m using the Garmin instinct 2 tactical Solar. My old one (non-solar) crapped out after four years and would hold about a five to seven day charge. The solar at about 60% charge is a month. Has altimeter and all kinds of stuff on it I forget about. Highly recommend. Sent from my iPhone using...

    September Anticipation

    2023 went better. Still had cattle destroy my camp multiple times but no bear spray. Saw several bulls and unfortunately stuck two twigs into one and never found it. Tag soup is still tag soup even if you notch it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How long did you hunt before you went for an elk?

    I hunted way too long before I even attempted elk hunting. Was 41 years old. Knew nothing except I was willing to put in the work which is most of it. Didn’t even see an elk the first year but I hat 7 of them right at dark within about 3-500 yards from me all bugling and talking to me… after...

    Ford Raptor Daily Drivers

    I’ve got a 2018 Raptor. I drive a lot of lease roads in south Texas that the border patrol drive and they use raptors. My precious truck was a great F-150 platinum and the lease roads ate it up. My Raptor will go 60mph down the roads and not blink. Any time I travel across country it is the he...

    South Texas Questions

    I’ve lived in South Texas for 12 years now. I used to hunt all the time when I lived in Indiana. I have never bought a license in TX, let alone hunted. It is cheaper for me to drive back to Indiana or buy an elk tag in Colorado… or both. Deer can be confused with jackelopes as they are all rack...

    When Do You Leave?

    Leaving the third coast on this Tuesday. And stopping in Denver to watch the Braves play in mile high coors field. Hopefully not the only person with an ATL hat on at the game. Then off to my OTC camp on Thursday to set up and scout before the madhouse opener Labor Day weekend in CO. I better...

    September Anticipation

    Thanks! Last season was a disaster and the bear spray (which my wife urged me to take in addition to the .45 will not be on my pack this year) got caught on my seatbelt harness and ripped the safety off and sprayed it as I was trying to refill my water bladder. I had cows trample my camp...

    September Anticipation

    I’ve been ready since last September… when bear spray decided unexpectedly to go off in my truck and ruin my hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When was your first year hunting OTC Elk in Colorado?

    2020. I was going to meet about ten members of my family from Indiana (only one other hunting though and it was all his idea). I’m hey were bringing horses which meant I wasn’t limited where I could go because of packout problems. Great trip, but… I was the only one to show up and have done it...

    Wrestling a Grizz to the death

    Different strokes for different folks… or bears. If you’re on the end of 14 days in the mountain it might not matter [emoji23]. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wrestling a Grizz to the death

    Only one way out of that situation. And it ain’t pretty… for the bear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2023 What’s the Plan???

    I am a glutton for punishment… and rather bullheaded I guess. I’ll be attempting CO otc again as I want my first elk to be 100% me embracing the suck of otc before there isn’t otc (unfortunately with my job I never know if I’ll get to hunt so trying for a draw tag has been a gamble). Maybe I’ll...

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    I’m looking at unit 32A (I think). I may have more time to think about it and do the research for applying for 2024 but will check to see if tags are returned for sure. Thanks for the help, guys. Sucks being forced to live in flatlands when your soul is meant for higher elevation. Sent from...

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    Danny, don’t those come out Aug 1st? I’m guessing those don’t last long either. And with just over 12k tags I doubt many are returned. But… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    I’d want to hunt in the unit they also hunt… so I guess I’m screwed. Maybe next December I can try if I have a fast enough internet connection… and get extremely lucky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    So, I just got invited to hunt in ID. Due to my busy schedule I usually just hunt in CO on OTC tag as I don’t know if I can get off work to hunt. Can someone give me a clarification, please? ID used to be OTC for non residents too… I thought. But now it appears they are quota tags and go on...

    Last Minute Arghhhh!!!!

    I got bestowed upon me the honored tradition of an extra week of work out of the blue. So, instead of making it to the mountains tomorrow I’ll have to fight with the orange army in CO instead of the opening weekend Labor Day hikers. Gonna be a long week… especially considering now I’ll have only...
