Kentucky has been wonderful- The best thing about moving is it opens your eyes to all the great places out there. Tunnel vision for sure in Colorado. The cost of living here is 25-35% less than Colorado. I can now afford to hunt out west in multiple states when I want. I live 50 miles north...
Grew up and lived my whole life in Colorado. Moved to Kentucky for love. No haters here, HAHA!
Elk hunted my whole life and have taken some decent bulls but excited about the possibility of a 350-400 class bull here in Kentucky.
Now that I am a resident what are my odds? I have heard that...
I grew up in Northern Colorado and spent most of my 51 years in Fort Collins. That place was a fantastic place to grow up. Farms and open land everywhere and a real farm/ranch vibe with Ag college in town. Kids out fishing and hunting after school.

That’s so cool. I went to csu and worked at csu for years. Very happy my wife is supportive. I misted headed out to Yuma to hunt deer and she was so happy and wanted me to get the deer.
Thanks Guys! Looking at doing a vacation up that way. We have hit Bozeman, Dillion, Missoula, Northwest section, Sydney, Plentywood, Miles City, a lot in the east and so on. Wanted to look at an area I have never been to. Great Falls interest me too.
What is the hunting/fishing/camping like in this area? Can an out of state hunter find land to hunt? Camping in summer for scouting? Things for wife to do in town?
