    CO draw results

    Two deer tag charges, one for me and one for my wife. Not sure if we drew second or third choices so I’ll have to wait til it’s posted. Also showing a charge for my elk tag. Burning my 3 points this year so that’s not a surprise. It should be a fun year.

    A member for over a year and a half and this is your first post. That must be one important tag!

    Best Binocs for under $500

    A lot of people don't know but Maven does have "demo centers" where you can try out their optics. Wyoming: Wind River Outdoor Company Colorado: No Limits Archery Utah: The Front Archery Australia: Outdoor Sports Sounds like you're in Minnesota so that probably doesn't work for you, but just...

    Boone and Crockett Scores

    Randy or Everett, Any chance we'll get a list of the scores on Randy's 7x7 Montana bull and his 2011 archery Montana bull? I've also been curious to know what Randy's 7x7 Colorado bull went but it didn't look like he was in the room. Being an engineer I'm obsessed with numbers and following...

    Moving to Colorado

    It’s hard to pick a unit in western Colorado that doesn’t have a bunch of elk. Colorado has great info on harvest rates, herd sizes and hunter numbers. https://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/Statistics-Elk.aspx And a great atlas that shows public land and places where elk like to hang out...

    What's the Reason?

    In some cases yes, but there are other contributing factors. As @Hunting_Wife alluded to the determination of tag quotas can hold up the draw (such as for Utah, elk quotas I believe we just determined). But then why don't they just move the application deadline back knowing that they won't...

    What's the Reason?

    For a good idea of what other state's approximate timeline is, reference the goHUNT link below. https://www.gohunt.com/read/INSIDER/2019-western-big-game-hunting-application-deadlines As you can see, it varies greatly by state and even by species in that state. For example Colorado has a...

    AZ 2019 Fall Draw Now Open

    My wife wants to do a week-long international vacation the week of Thanksgiving, so just doing points this year for AZ deer instead of applying for late Kaibab. Still going to apply for a sheep tag, though.

    On year ago tomorrow.....

    Waiting for the results on this. It’s the last tag to draw that might have an effect on my Colorado elk hunt plan. Not expecting anything but it sure would be nice.

    Best Binocs for under $500

    I've had the C1s next to Diamondbacks, Vipers and Razors many times as someone in the family owns each of them. The C series are far greater than the diamondbacks (at least the ones I've looked through), but I've heard others disagree. There's some variability in glass of that price range...

    Best glassing tripod for less than 150$

    Because when it comes to tripods many people want them to be both lightweight and durable. That combination is expensive for pretty much anything, especially with tripods which have a number of moving parts and adjustments.

    CO

    It's not a new thing. Antlerless tags in top units (49, 61, 76, etc), popular units (62, some units closer to Denver, some of the Gunnison basin units), and ranching for wildlife cow tags have been list A for years.

    CO

    This is how Colorado has done it for quite some time now. They don't award you an extra point for turning in your tag. Arizona does through their Point Guard system but that's paid for beforehand and can only be used once before your species points are reset.

    Looking for ideas

    I've hunted 66 archery. If I were you I would spend some time figuring out where outfitters put camps because some places that look great that are miles deep will have a nice big white wall tent (or two) with a bunch of dudes in it. I would also be planning on hunting in a place where you can...

    Which tripod head?

    Those are three great heads for three slightly different purposes. If your spotting scope is bigger than a 65mm (48ish ounces or more) then you'll need to go with the Jim White Pan Head as the pistol grip and micro struggle with heavy optics. The micro is a cool head but a little harder to get...
