House bill moving forward to allow bikes in Wilderness
No bueno. I agree with the slippery slope perspective most of all. Acknowledging some of the benefits some of the members have posted, I think the (current and potential future) costs far outweigh the benefits.- JoMo

Ever Try Whole Deer/Antelope/Elk Shoulder?
Just got my first antelope and I am thinking of doing something like this too. You read my mind! Since the rest of the recipes in Hank Shaw's book are killer, I will trust his as a first go.- JoMo

How's this for an adrenaline rush?

Backcountry Trash - Me venting
When I got back to a small glade where I set up camp during my 2nd season deer hunt in CO, I stumbled upon another backcountry users trash. It appeared they had attempted to stash it all under a tree but that it had been strewn about by critters. I can only think it was from another hunter, as...- JoMo

Auto theft rampant in Albuquerque
I had my truck broken into at a trail head for a popular fishing spot outside of Denver about 5 years ago. When the sheriff came, he said it was rare, but not unheard of. One thing he did say is that he recommends not placing any stickers identifying what may be inside your vehicle. I was...- JoMo

Elk 101 online course
I would recommend it for sure. I have been elk hunting for ~18 years (the last 8 or so have been what I consider seriously), and decided to subscribe last year. While not all of the info and content was useful, I do think that the small things that I have overlooked helped me get my bull this... -

Boulder CO planners endorse limited public elk hunting on their open space
As someone who sometimes works in Boulder, I would love the chance to hunt nearby. I think (hope) it may offer the "republic" an opportunity to see how hunters help others out as well.- JoMo

Must Have Pack features
As others have mentioned, weight is key. I was lugging around some pretty old packs for years, not knowing what I was missing. I ended up getting a Kuiu pack about this time last year and have loved it since. Having a good fit for my body - especially the hip belts is key. Otherwise, I would...- JoMo

Vortex Tripods
Echo the thoughts above. I also have the Summit SS and I like it. I don't have a ton of experience either, as this is my first tripod, but it works very well when not fully extended. Most times I am using it when sitting down, so the height is good for it to remain stable even in wind. It... -

My Avatar Is
Mine is of the first bull I shot after losing my pops. Up to that season, he and I were always together for elk hunting since I can remember. I know he brings me good luck, as I have been fortunate to go five for five since then.- JoMo

Selling Public LandHR 621 and 622: Do We All Agree that Jason Chaffetz is a Coward?
Thank you all for the good info and conversation. I found it interesting that this is one of the responses I have received from Cory Gardner here in CO. "Thank you for contacting me regarding the transfer of federal lands to states. I appreciate you taking the time to write. It is an honor...- JoMo

Vacuum sealing frozen meat
I don't have any experience with vacuum sealing already wrapped items, but I would definitely not recommend you thawing it to freeze it again. I agree with the others in that meat that is wrapped correctly lasts just as long or longer than some vacuum sealed items. The first set of bags I used...- JoMo

Gear advice from experienced elk hunters
Echo that. This unit helped me this season when I was successful on the last evening of the last day of my hunt. I was able to text my friends, who then came in that night and helped me hike out the meat. It also has an app that links to your iphone, which I find really helpful. I toggle... -
Gear advice from experienced elk hunters
Steripen. Makes water filtration really easy (assuming you will be near water). A good pack. After years of suffering through a cheapie - I am shocked I never realized how much of a difference a solid pack would make. Everything else folks said is valid in my experiences.
