    'Yotes: What to do with carcusses when pelts have little value?

    Something like this has to be an intentional move by someone, or they are just the most ignorant and lazy person around. Anyone with a little common sense would take the effort to put them, at a minimum, well off the road, and with a little thought, out of view.

    Sell me on a CO legal muzzleloder

    I hadn't considered doing a write up on it, but it does sound like fun. I will probably do just that! It would be fun to document the build from start to finish including my first hunt using it. Thanks for the idea!

    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    The nice thing about these country AirBNB's is you get to meet the local farmers and ranchers and if you are nice and respectful they give you access to their properties to hunt, and will even tell you where they saw the antelope last. I was also granted permission to come back and hunt...

    Sell me on a CO legal muzzleloder

    There are tons of options out there and they all serve their own purpose. If you are wanting to get into blackpowder for more opportunity an in-line muzzleloader is probably going to be your most available option and a good way to get started, at least that is how I got started. I did catch the...

    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    You would be surprised how many there are out in the middle of nowhere. I think it's becoming popular for ranchers with an empty farm house or bunk house to try and rent out the space and make a few extra dollars.

    2023 NM muzzleloader mule deer Unit 13

    Just got back from my second weekend scouting unit 13. Pulled some trail camera cards but they only got pictures of elk, two bulls and several cows with calves. I was fortunate this time to find 3 does, but nothing with antlers. There were plenty of ATV's buzzing around all weekend. Kinda find...

    2023 NM muzzleloader mule deer Unit 13

    The time is fast approaching for my 2023 NM mule deer hunt. After 9 years of applying I finally drew a NM deer tag, not my first choice hunt, but I am extremely happy to have a tag in my pocket. The last time I hunted this unit was in 2008, crazy to think that was 15 years ago! As you can easily...

    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    I made it out a few more days as I still had a doe tag in my pocket. I made a few stalks, but by this point in the season the antelope had been pressured pretty good by all the other muzzleloader hunters and were very reluctant to let me close the distance more than 300 yards. My max range I am...

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    During my muzzleloader Pronghorn hunt I came across this buck. I had already filled my tag and was searching for a doe. I think he must have been stuck during the archery season prior to my muzzleloader hunt. He had an infection that was oozing down his shoulder, though it didn't really seem...

    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    I've really gotten into muzzleloader over the last few years. Now muzzleloader is about the only thing I hunt with or want to hunt with. I am upping my game and going with a flintlock next year, but for this year I still have 1 one hunt to go. I have a NM mule deer tag at the end of October...

    Anyone a coyote fanatic here?

    It's been a few years since I purposeful hunted coyotes. I shoot a few around the house every year, but we have a real mole problem so we try and let the coyotes do there thing. Really the only time I go after them is when they get close to the house, the sheep or are in a real abundance. Last...

    Leftover CO
