    Questions on black powder measure and grains to shoot?

    I don't have a scale that will weigh powder, and didn't plan to buy one. My season, at this writing, opens in less than 2 weeks. So, I planned to be shooting between now and then. I think Mr. Cushman verified what I thought might be the case, so I think I'm good to go here. The powder...

    Questions on black powder measure and grains to shoot?

    I think YOU are correct, as that's what I "thought it was", but in that this is a pretty critical matter, I didn't want to be taking a chance and relying on a bad memory. Thanks! BTW, I looked at my black powder jug, and it says for my .54 caliber, with a 348 gr. powerbelt, I should be...

    Questions on black powder measure and grains to shoot?

    Please don't laugh or make fun....I'm old you see. Hey, I finally drew a muzzleloading tag for Elk this Fall. I dug out my .54 caliber inline rifle, which I haven't shot since the last time I drew a tag. I got out my "stuff" just now, and realized I can't recall what the calibrations are on...

    Hi, Unit 78 is on the other side of Wolf Creek Pass, and I know very little about hunting in that area. I know that where it abutts GMU 76, it might be wilderness area, and of course 76 is the coveted trophy area in this area that takes many preference points to draw a tag there. I...

    For those with wireless game cameras, how well are they working?

    I ended up buying a Tactacam Reveal X, and it works pretty well with two bars of signal strength. The customer service folks with this company are excellent and are even on Facebook groups helping solve issues.

    Zoleo vs. Garmin Inreach for Satellite Communications ?

    I'm thinking about getting a satellite communicator for the backcountry, as there is no cellular signals where I go. I know a few things about the Garmin Inreach units, but now I hear there's a product called Zoleo communicators, that apparently function in concert with your cell phone? Does...

    Did you find a partner? If not, are you cancelling your plans? If interested, my ranch is surrounded on 3 sides by the vast Rio Grande National Forest. I was from Wisconsin till I moved here in 2010. Let me know if my horses & mules could be of service and help...

    Injury before a hunt

    I just saw your post from several weeks ago. Whereabouts do you live? I have a ranch in the mountain foothills West of Monte Vista. If you're challenged by a long hike into the backcountry, depending on the timing and circumstances, perhaps one of my horses can get you where you want to...

    Colorado 76 first rifle here I come

    I don't live too far from there. If you need a pack out of your trophy, come feed my horses and mules some treats and maybe they'll do you a favor? They do love to go down the trails......

    Warranty on a my good old workhorse Steiner binos

    I have a similar experience with the Steiner warranty and repair. I bought my rubberized 8 x 30's in 1980. Hundreds of hours of use later, they needed repair 2 years ago. When I got them back, I'm not even sure if they repaired them or gave me a new pair? Now that's customer service and...

    Hunter orange and colorado

    I'm all for safety and staying legal, however the actual wording says "outer garment", with no reference to wearing a pack. In the vast majority of hunters I see, and also see on hunting videos, very few have any orange on their packs, and most often the pack covers most of their backsides...

    Bushnell Trail Cam Thoughts?

    I don't know what a Bushnell camera cost, but I just bought a Tactacam Reveal X for $160.00 total. and like it alot, as I can transmit pics to my phone, or have it in a video mode that will store it on the SD card. I have a Browning camera too, but it is starting to fail, as it doesn't capture...

    My very first Tactacam photo

    After reading the reviews of the Tactacam Reveal X, I bought one. The price is actually cheaper than many, and I wanted one that I could transmit pics to my phone. ( I know you can't do this during hunting season, as it's illegal). The camera is up on the mountain behind my ranch on a...

    First time elk hunting, Archery or rifle?

    I'll limit my two cents worth to the area of Colorado I know best, which is Southcentral Co.. As for the elevation you'll typically find Elk at, that can vary with so many circumstances, there's no set situation. I live at 8600 ft. and am seeing the occasional Elk track and actual sightings...

    CO West Elker moved from Buena Vista to South Fork.

    I was surfing this site, and happened to read your post regarding anyone being from Rio Grande County. I live West of Monte Vista, in the mountain foothills. My ranch is surrounded on 3 sides by Federal lands. I have horses/mules/burros for packing and goofing off with. I also drew a...

    Need new trail cams

    I have a Browning camera that's about 3 years old. At first it worked fine, but now, even with new batteries, it doesn't always turn on when something should be activating it. I can walk past it, and have it record, but wait a minute and walk by it again, and nothing happens. It also...

    Tactacam Trail Cameras - Want one!

    Wow, there are a great many advertised on FB Marketplace, but I'm a tad leary of being ripped off by a fake person with a fake ad.... Do you know any of the vendors you purchased one from? I don't want to send $$$, and then either get defrauded or have them tell me they're backordered, and...

    Trail cameras as traps

    As for the field of view, in my experience, the higher up in a tree I go, and then aim it down, the narrower field of view I get. I don't like that. However, where I'm using a camera, if I leave it at waist level the Bear and Elk bat it around on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure they sense...
