Antelope Hunters - How Blessed Am I?
Since we usually have 2-3 antelope per year, I make it pretty easy. I take the backstraps and tenders out. Then I take say 10 pounds of neck, and whatever bits for stew meat and chili. I also take the shanks and render down for Birria (ramen or tacos). The entire rest of the meat gets... -
Antelope Hunters - How Blessed Am I?
Grew up in eastern CO and have family land. Growing up it was an easy first animal because they were plentiful. I loved hunting them but my dad can't cook wild game worth a damn. I shot a couple during high school and turned 100% into jerky and since I was active in sports, that was an easy... -
What do you carry when hunting in otter habitat?
I thought the same thing, but realize not everybody has younger kids like I do. Good flick though!- wolfpup

Pin distance
That's why I use it... also just my personal experience but everything I seem to range seems to be 36 or 37 yards. 44 yards or 47 yards. Always closer to the 5 than the 0. Just my experience and didn't overthink it too much. Just started at 25 and went up. -
Pin distance
5 Pin here.... 25,35,45,55,65. I have found anything from 5 to 25 yards is the same pin and doesn't make a difference for elk sized game. -
Spending money on kids
We looked at the same thing, after looking at ticket prices we opted to go to the Vibes game which is the Colorado Springs team formerly known as the Sky Sox. Sat 2 rows up and had junk food, beer, game tickets and fireworks after the show for the cost of 1 1/2 Rockies tickets. The kids didn't...- wolfpup

Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?
True that... better be serious about keeping it as a rental long term. Consult with your current CPA about sale of principal residence and the 2 years of 5 rule before your sure about turning it into a rental. Better run some numbers and see if it actually makes sense, or just sell and run...- wolfpup

Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission
This seems like a better candidate than the others to me. He was with CDOW for 23 years and is active hunter and angler. Has to live by the same rules we do. I can get on board with his ideology of "pro intact ecosystem", but reintroducing an animal to a place that the animals were either... -
Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission
Well hell! I guess I was wrong! 3 losers out, 3 losers in! -
Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?
Same thing in our practice. No clients leaving, actually more coming in, but aging partners will make it a huge hurdle for use younger CPA's to take over. We have 4 office spaces open for part time guys that have all "retired" but still work on clients they like, etc. I often wonder what is...- wolfpup

Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission
The 3 members exiting weren't exactly winners either with their resumes. None of them were exactly contributors to the cause.... Out of the new 3 at least Skiba was a wildlife biologist for CPW... maybe that is a positive. The lawyer (Beaulieu) is probably the most concerning! -
Win .243 Ammo Suggestions Please
Hornady American Whitetail with the 100gr Interlock shoots just as well as all the bullets I reload after I shoot these. I buy these for Brass, then reload after round 1. They are available at most stores, and have done well on deer and antelope.- wolfpup

Varmints and handguns
The gun you have access to is the one that gets used the most. Most ranch guns have killed the most over any hunting gun! That being said I have run down several coyotes with a 9mm pistol. Shot many rattlesnakes too. Can't say I have pursued any with a handgun, but when the opportunity is... -
Colorado 2nd Draw license lists are posted
Only 2 more years until I can take.... I mean my daughter can take advantage. I am stuck in the why bother because a youth will most certainly get this tag and can't wait a few years until my kid gets a chance at some primo tags. Although at this point there is zero interest from my oldest...- wolfpup

Shoulder pain , and I just drew an 11 pt Archery tag...
If you only have pain at draw, seek PT from now til august, then pain meds for the hunt. You have 11 years to recoup, surgery, etc. right. Not the right way, but its what I would do!- wolfpup

Colorado “Managing Wildlife in an Era of Mutualism.”
This whole chicken thing was what I meant with the disconnect in agriculture. There was many things with this legislation that affected most all livestock production. Coincidentally in predominately ag producing counties, Polis did not win those counties, but front range and ski towns where...- wolfpup

410's who shoots them ?
I picked up a Yildiz .410 (which I believe is Turkish?) It was at an Academy Sports and was only like $150 a few years back just for fun. Its a break over gun that I can fold over and fit into my pack. Great for grouse, squirrels, etc. but my favorite is each year when I get close to my dove...- wolfpup
