    I’m jealous. That area is sweet. Only hunted the margins of it, but really special place. Good luck.

    Lyme Disease & Ticks - What's your experience?

    I’d recommend vigilance. Just do a tick check and take a shower after hunting. Save a tick that’s attached for future testing, doxy if needed and all that jazz. My wife was sick for four or five years, lost a lot of good time to that shit. Damn ticks. But they are just bugs and can be...

    2020 Colorado 2nd Rifle Success

    In all fairness to the Allen company, the elk was shot in the pedicle of the antler. Not great shot placement. LOL

    SW Colorado scout report - 15 aug

    Ive seen them targeting acorns at around 7,400’. Oaks seem heavier to me than I’ve noticed for the last couple years. But I haven’t found the berries, or an acorns above 7,600. None. What elevations/aspects have you been finding the berries? And what kind?

    Winchester copper impact xp on elk?

    As an alternate to this copper bullet, I have used Barnes ttsx for a couple decades on elk. They have never failed and typically recover them from under the backside hide. I also use Thor bullets (manufactured by Barnes; utilize similar pedaling technology) in my muzzle loader and those work...

    CO Early Rifle

    My experience is that they don't head for timber permanently until after archery. They may get pushed into timber when raining or snowing (or perceived predation pressure), but if there is still food up there they will be back. (Remember the dark, impenetrable "Timber" to us, is simply the...

    Sw Colorado bear update

    The hard June frost did seem to knock back both the hard and soft mast quite a bit in middle elevations. No acorns. Very little fruit. Been seeing bears maybe higher than typical and wildlife officers and biologist also suggest lower elevations too. Good luck.
