    Old truck appreciation (and high mileage)

    2002 Toyota Sequoia, 282,000 miles this morning. I bought it almost 10 years ago now with 192,000 on the clock for a bit under $6,000. Been a fantastic vehicle. Every time I think about replacing it I can't decide what would be better so I just keep driving it. Room for me to sleep in the...

    Just a dumb idea or the downfall of archery? You decide!

    Looks like a way for archers to loose arrows faster than normal! Cripes. Someone is always looking for a shortcut and an angle.

    Whole pheasant ideas

    Do a dry rub, truss it and roast it whole! Julia Child's cookbooks have great info on roasting whole birds. Her temps might be a bit too hot for an old rooster. If you don't want to roast it whole then make Coq a vin! Spatchcock it and do it on the grill wouldn't be a bad way to go either.

    Leather slings

    I really like a leather sling. They go nicely with wood stocks! I use the Brownells Latigo.

    Ever Mistake a Hunter for a Deer/Bear/Elk?

    The closest I have ever come to this is one snowy afternoon I was sitting tucked up under a fir tree in a nice hidey hole while elk hunting. I was more taking a break and getting snack than hunting at that point but I hear the crunch footsteps in the snow and so I quietly chambered a round and...

    The Change in Hunting Elk!

    I hear you. There are always some bad eggs. Burns me up. There's a closed logging road I hunt most years that I put the gate and sign back up every year I go there and sometimes more than once in the same week. Sometimes the pieces and sign are lying across the road and sometimes they are...

    Whats your daily driver?

    Ah, I miss my mid 94Corolla wagon some days. We drove the living shyte out of that car. Towed with it, drove it places that we really shouldn't have.... It was our only vehicle for a long time and it was bullet proof!

    Whats your daily driver?

    I drive an 02 Toyota Sequoia that just turned 280,000 miles.....hoping for 400,000 but will settle for 350,000 before I replace it. My other car is an 02 Sequoia that just turned 280,000 miles :)

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    I just came across this during 3rd rifle here in Colorado! I scrolled and scrolled and finally used the pheasant icon for the spot I came across some Dusky Grouse.....only later that evening did I see that there is an "Upland" icon that is more grouse like. Not sure why there is an upland icon...

    Son needs a rifle for deer hunting

    As I understand it and from what I've read the .243 and 6.5 CM have pretty much the same recoil if using the same weight bullet. That said, it seems the .243 can be softer shooting. I went 6.5 CM for my son and it has been OK. He's pretty recoil sensitive and it is a bit much for him. I was...

    .243 for my son

    I bought a Savage 110 Hunter for my son to use this year. The fully adjustable stock is great and he is shooting a full size rifle with a properly fitting stock. I shot it with normal stock dimensions before we changed out the modules and liked it quite a bit. My only gripe is the DBM is a...

    Is 9mm a good round for elk?

    In Colorado, no. There's some rule about hand gun hunting that says the round must have x energy at y distance as listed by the manufacturer.....If I remember correctly that leaves it to .357 mag or bigger. Strange rule because if I was revolver/pistol hunting I'd want to re-load my own. Does...

    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    Well worn out is a relative term when it comes to a GSP! Someone once told me that every GSP should come with a horse!

    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    This! I live in an urban environment as well and I walk my GSP three times a day for around 2 miles each time 7 days a week. Keeps me moving for sure. A tired dog is a good dog!

    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    My $0.02 on early training. Manners are the first thing. Let them be a puppy for the first year but let them be a puppy with good manners. Come is a more advanced command than basic manners. I'd start with heal because it is one of the most valuable commands to have mastered in any and all...

    CPW seeks public feedback on big game hunting license distribution

    How about allocate land owner tags by calculating the percent of land they own in the unit! If they own a ton then sure, they should get a ton of tags. But if they own 1% of the land.....
