    WTB SilencerCo Maxim 50

    I WTB a SilencerCo Maxim 50 muzzleloader. I know this is a long shot, but let me know if you have one for sale, or know of one for sale. I have seen them go for $575 on Gunbroker, so I’ll go for $600 and cover shipping to Oklahoma. Thanks gents

    WTB Leupold BX-4 10x42

    I am! I missed out on the $399 sale at PSA, and see them now for just under $500, but hoping to save a little.

    CO Units 80/81 Mule Deer Muzzleloader

    So they in general spend more time above the timber than elk would?

    CO Units 80/81 Mule Deer Muzzleloader

    Do they like to stay high, close to and slightly above the timberline? I’m wondering if water might be the main thing to look for with it being dry this year.

    CO Units 80/81 Mule Deer Muzzleloader

    Hello all, My plan to hunt 80/81 Elk Archery turned into a mule deer hunt since we drew a muzzleloader tag. Season dates are September 11-19. Can anyone tell me a little about general mule deer habits/activity that time of year? This will be our first time mule deer hunting, and our first...

    Aug. 30 - Sep. 8 2020 CO Archery Elk GMU 31 / 21 / 22, 62 / 65, or 81 / 80

    Yeah, archery elk was the original plan. We decided to put in for the muzzleloader draws for elk and deer, and unexpectedly drew a mule deer muzzy tag.

    Well guys, my elk hunt turned into a mule deer hunt! Buddy and I drew a muzzleloader tag for 80/81. We (stupidly) assumed we’d just get a preference point, but here we are. Anyone have any experience with mule deer in mid September? We have never hunted mule deer, only elk and whitetail. I...

    You’ll see from my OP that I am just asking for general opinions on various GMUs in CO since I have never hunted in CO. I am not asking for someone to tell me what tree to look behind to find a big 6x6. But if someone was to say “Oh, don’t got to 81, the local guide service has so many wall...

    Aug. 30 - Sep. 8 2020 CO Archery Elk GMU 31 / 21 / 22, 62 / 65, or 81 / 80

    Yeah, for now my plan is to come up with a lot of places to try, and just move on if we do not have luck instead of wasting our time in one area like has happened in the past. I have also been e-scouting steep places that are not necessarily far from trails in hopes of finding an overlooked area...

    The weekend of the 12th is out for us, so its either: Aug 30th - Sep. 7th (3 days scouting, 6 days hunting) or Sep. 20th - 27th (8 days hunting) Would you trade two days hunting in an area for three days scouting somewhere you have never been? I might. Also, I do not like that by the 20th...

    We plan to get in three days of scouting before season opens to hopefully prove or disprove our e scouting was good.

    We have considered that, but one of our rank has a conflict, I have limited vacation and need to use Labor Day as a freebie day off, etc.

    First time Idaho DIY elk..

    I hunted unit 51 last year, and my buddy missed a shot on a damn nice bull that happened to be the only elk we saw the whole two weeks. We also saw a moose, wolverine, and a lot of hunters. I hunted unit 30A in 2009 and 2010 where we saw very few other people (hunter #s have increased 50%...
