Do you have a link to that post? -
Wilderness elk
What was the original question? Are there Elk in the Wilderness? Yes. -
What makes a good mule deer hunter?
Here in Colorado, Coors is now charging for tours, Trailheads are full of Ford Fiestas, and the dream is dead. Glad someone somewhere is keepin' it real. 👊 -
What makes a good mule deer hunter?
Slamming domestic beer and driving country roads looking for Deer? We all miss the 80's, but today's Muley hunter hikes in a few cans of high gravity IPA and glasses from a ridgetop with expensive sunglasses that he/she will lose on the hike out. -
First time elk hunter
Last fall - just a few hours apart - we called in other hunters and later called in a bull that came running. Ya never know. -
Got my 2019 Elk back - Guess the score
Super nice bull and sweet looking mount! Can we guess on the shotgun pellets origin too? I'll say drunk idiots at night peppered his hide from the bed of a truck. -
First season rifle unit 77 colorado help
It's not too late, and a lot of people do it. If you are worried about someone shooting at you then just don't do it. I mean, you will be wearing orange, maybe just skip the "raking of trees" portion of the calling sequence lol. -
.270 or larger?
In the event that there would be a shot at 300+ yards I would want the flatter shooting cartridge which I think most will agree is the .270. At a 200 yard zero mine is still almost dead on at 300 whereas my 30-06 starts to drop pretty quickly past 250 yards or so. Obviously there are variables... -
Post Rut Big Bulls
At a Colorado Ski Area I used to work at I was always amazed when I saw big lone Elk tracks coming out of the backcountry as late as early January, but usually early to mid December depending on snow accumulation each year. There were particular gladed areas on the mountain that needed about... -
How many trips for a solo pack-out
Not sure exactly what you are trying to prove here? The data from the Wyoming study that you yourself posted backs me up - in that yes, i shot an average old cow elk with an average weight for an old cow elk. So now you post a link to an article about how elusive older cow elk are? How... -
How many trips for a solo pack-out
Not sure why the meat yield from my old cow would be that surprising to anyone. Below is from the study you posted in reference to the above table. "Because field dressed weights often vary within age class, boneless meat yield can also vary as much as 20 pounds from the averages listed." So... -
How many trips for a solo pack-out
Everyone has their own limits, and there are many variables like the size of the cow, terrain, and weather, but I don't think it's dumb at all. The cow I mentioned in my post yielded just over 200lbs of boned out meat (I also pack out rib and neck meat as well as the heart and liver while most... -
How many trips for a solo pack-out
Off trail matters! Years ago I shot a cow elk only about 1.5 miles from the truck, but it was all off trail with lots of deadfall and obstacles. Three trips turned into about 8 miles of off trail travel through nasty terrain with a heavy pack. Cannot imagine doing that in 2 trips, that's over... -
Mule Deer.... Never got One, I want one
I believe Idaho and Arizona have OTC Mule Deer seasons. -

Colorado Archery Mule Deer
Join Toprut or Gohunt and start looking at units West of I-25 (the high country as you specified) and see which ones you can draw with the least amount of points. Any unit in Colorado that has mountains (and also a lot of the plains units) is going to have some nice deer in it so I wouldn't get... -

Colorado Advice Sought
I know the experience you seek and it can be had, though you should think outside the box a bit. A lot of outfitters and hunting groups pack in with horses. Especially here in Southern CO where it seems that the entire State of Texas shows up with their horses to go deep (Texans, thank you for...
