What makes a "good" hunter?
I'd consider a "good hunter" to be someone with a diverse skillset, the ability to think and learn in real-time, and mental and physical toughness to stay in the game as long as it takes, they can be dropped into any hunt with no scouting and figure out how to make it happen, while keeping...- GrantK

hard to beat the Hoka Speedgoats if you're looking at shoes with that much padding, I find them to be way more nimble than the Cascadias.- GrantK

Pick a state to become a resident ...
WY, ID, or MT would be my picks, in that order, if big game hunting was the only consideration... CO isn't as bad as people make it seem either, with all of those there are plenty of places you don't want to be within the state...- GrantK

Ones that got away
Found this guy and one that may have been a little bigger in a bachelor group a week before season, low-tier limited unit, nobody else around, they fed the same trail into the timber to bed for a week straight. Opening day rolled around and and I was set up well before daylight, perfect wind... -

CO CPW Draw Process Working Group
I don't necessarily buy the "people have to have a chance to hunt sheep to care about them" narrative, there could hardly be a worse ROI on anything you put your time to, you either care about sheep on the landscape because sheep are cool, or you couldn't care less, and your 1% chance of ever... -
CO CPW Draw Process Working Group
Both good recommendations IMO, for all the hate above, I'm taking a wild guess of the give or take 300 sheep tags a year 4-5 of them probably go to people who already have a CO bighorn, putting an additional 4-5 tags to new hunters a year is a lot more people out of the pool over time... and for... -

'07 Tunda - let's hear your reviews and feedback or warnings
I'd be buying that in a heartbeat as long as it isn't rusted, IMO the best size truck for general outdoors use made, I have multiple friends with over 350K on that generation Tundra. the only downside of buying one with 80K on it is that it's going to be a very long time until you need to...- GrantK

****OFFICIAL****2024 SPRING BEAR THREAD
I'm not helping contribute this year but can everyone involved try to keep the rate of actual dead bears (no suitcase bears) to something like one per 5 pages? last year's thread was one of the worst teases I've ever seen on this forum...- GrantK

Family Trip to Alaska - Let’s Talk
I haven't but I've always been on climbing trips where it's much more of a collaborative effort with the pilot/air service, I'd think that it would be appropriate for a flightseeing trip? It's probably worth asking the air service.- GrantK

Mountain lions "losing fear of man"?
I've had a handful of random encounters in CO, lions here don't get hunted as hard as in some places but I'd suspect that a significant portion of mortality is from hunting. Of the lions I've stumbled across all of them that I saw knew good and well that I was there, I've had two that nearly...- GrantK
