    My Sister's CO S9 Rifle Hunt

    My very fortunate sister drew the S9 ram rifle tag with three preference points/zero weighted. After the initial excitement subsided, the realization of one of the most intense hunts of our lives is beginning to set in. We have a group of five that will be participating on this hunt and are all...

    Tyto Knives New Grip

    Tyto coming out with a good looking grip. Always thought the original handles were a bit small for my hand. Solid addition to the line! Can’t wait to try out!

    Does your partner shoot wheels?

    My best friend and primary hunting partner is strictly a training wheels hunter. I've tried to convert him but he just can't seem to let go of the gun bow. I was the one who introduced him to hunting and would like to continue to hunt with him but feel like my chances of a successful harvest are...

    Ideal 3 Shelter Combo

    My hunting partner is looking to purchase his own shelter. We hunt together 95% of the time and would like to cover all our bases. I own a Megatarp and will be getting a Sawtooth within the next few months. We primarily backpack hunt Colorado with float trips planned to Alaska in the near...

    Who hunts in tennis shoes??

    I can't stand even mid level hiking boots. I've been trying to like my Salomon GTX for the 5 months but can't ever foresee giving them the nod during hunting season. I'm in my mid 20s athletic, quick footed and don't have any ankle issues. Over the past 3 years I've ran Roclites and Salomon low...

    Turkeys in Wine Country

    Heading out to my best friends vineyard in California this weekend to do a little turkey hunting. I've never been there or hunted anywhere like it. It's my understanding the birds roost in a string of trees on the far end of the property and basically mill around the vineyard all day. Shouldn't...

    Advice Season

    I always find it reassuring this time of year to see no one is inquiring about my elk unit. After a few years of cruising the forums it seems the same units get brought up over and over. With information so easily available, I'm keeping my fingers crossed no one spills the beans on some of the...

    Vias circa 1980

    I’m sure many others are aware (jm1607), but I just stumbled upon the Winona pattern by Bob Fratzke and was shocked how closely Vias mirrors it. Not trying to hate on Kuiu just surprised my favorite pattern has been around for 35 years. The Knit Tree is licensed to sell Winona and they altered...

    What killed this elk?

    I came across this cow last week. There were fresh coyote and lion tracks around as well as an old set of horse and boot tracks. I studied predator kills in college as a wildlife biology major but can’t recall a lion only eating the backstraps. If a hunter shot it and had access to a horse why...

    Bushnell Wireless Cam

    We got one of these for elk season and it turned out to be a huge disappointment as each time we tried to hang it the service wasn’t good enough to send pics. We ended up hanging it on my family’s land in Kansas and have had some decent pics come through. I’m curious as to how others use this...

    Front Range Birds

    I enjoy chasing Merriam’s around the Front Range every spring and have found enough spots to consistently fill 4 to 5 tags. A couple spots we can walk twenty yards from the truck and set up. Obviously, places like this do get more pressure and the birds get call shy as the season progresses. My...

    Respectable CO OTC Bulls

    When your best friend shoots a gun bow it’s tough to come out on top… or even get a shot sometimes. This year I own all the bragging rights after bugling in this nice six and eleven cows the fourth day of the season. Unfortunately, a sow and two cubs did a number on him before I found him the...

    Threading the Needle

    I lost the wheels and picked up a trad bow 3 years ago. Last year was the first year I’ve had trouble putting my arrow through a shooting lane. I feel like when I shot a compound I had a better understanding of the flight of my arrow. As an instinctive shooter how do YOU account for fitting your...
