    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    It's crazy to me that he didn't just drop in his tracks, especially given a perfect heart shot. I mean yeah he didn't go far, heck he was a whole 70 yards away from me when he died, but why not 30 lol.

    CO 2023 Muzzleloader Pronghorn Antelope Hunt

    Today was the opener of the Colorado Muzzleloader Pronghorn season. This is only my 3rd ever Pronghorn hunt, all of which have been with the good ol' smoke pole. I made it out to the unit late yesterday evening, with only about 45 minutes to scout before sunset. I made the most of it and went to...

    Good luck! I watched a herd last night with around 30 cows and two decent bulls. Only the cows were vocal but most definitely still rutting.

    Elk did not tip over.

    I've shot plenty of elk that never tipped over. I've shot many that just drop as well as some that have spun around, staggered and fell. The first bull I ever shot, I shot with a .308 at less than 50 yards. He gated himself, walked about 20 more yards layed down and died. The first bull my...

    2022 Colorado elk hunt day by day

    Pre-Hunt scouting continued: Now into September I placed my focus on the private property as I can access it daily if needed. I was hoping to pattern the elk that frequent the private property. In years past it was very easy to do, as this property is the only place I know that holds water...

    Semi Live Colorado Pronghorn muzzleloader 2022

    It was brutal! I had to pick that buck up over the fence and then walk all the way back to the truck! And then I could only get the truck within about 20 feet of the buck! All joking aside I did more walking on my first stalk than I did on the successful one. It wasn't quite the adventure I had...

    When is everyone going after elk? (Or have you started already)

    Elk season is always on when you live in elk country, though you may not be hunting them with the intent to fill the freezer, you are always on the hunt to find them! With that being said my wife has a first rifle elk tag here in Colorado and we both have PLO cow tags that are valid thru...

    Semi Live Colorado Pronghorn muzzleloader 2022

    Day two recap: Given all the moisture today I spent more time glassing from the comfort of a truck than putting boots to the ground. Glassing was less productive today than it was yesterday as the rain and fog persisted throughout the day. The only stalks I made were in the morning...
