    How close to camp?

    A timber sale had been posted in our hunting area for a few years. The sale finally went though, the areas that have been clear cut are so thick with grass now that the elk are pushing the cows and sheep out. All the years I logged, we always had elk in and around our equipment while we were...

    Tent/sleeping bag help?

    Definitely a dome tent, and get the lightest down packable bag you can afford. In September the mosquitos are leveling off but the flies are ramping up. At least with a dome you have a bug screen to keep them off you at night.

    Colorado elk gmu 33 winterkill.

    There is no benefit to applying as a group, again, NO BENEFIT so get that foolish notion your of your heads. You each need to apply on your own. I'm still not sure why the CPW even has that as an option on getting the tags.

    Colorado Elk Unit 24

    During the archery and muzzle season the bulls tend to stay quiet until after dark, then they go crazy, so be sure you can stay to the end of shooting light.

    Colorado Elk

    The elk are going to be where they are, use the opening weekend to get used to the altitude, (coming from sea level it WILL kick your ass) navigate the weekend warriors, crowded trail heads and get the area figured out. Don’t be afraid of OTC areas. This year our group scouted for three...

    New predator gun

    For straight up varmint blasting you can’t beat the .223, 22-250, or the 204 Ruger. With soft point bullets you will put them down for sure. My kids swear by the 204’s as that is their go to guns. I got into the Barnes varmint grenades years ago for the .223 and 22-250, the 35 grain kills nicely...

    I'm waiting to see how this wolf thing works out this winter, but we are moving to a different area for sure. But on the good side, according to the DOW we DO NOT HAVE WOLVES, we have very large aggressive coyotes, and that is a direct quote. So, take that for what it's worth.

    The majority of the herds were stacked up in the hay fields on the bottom on "Blumberg's Haven". We also saw one ranch herding elk back onto their property so their clients could shoot them, illegal and unethical.

    One of the outfitters lost two horses as well. His first season group did terrible, one bull and nothing else but bears. We saw a total of four elk that were shootable, two cows and two bulls. All died opening day. We scouted before the season and found almost no sign compared to august when we...

    The wolves hammered the area between Big Ridge and Burro. The rancher I know who has the grazing lease lost 28 beef cows to the wolves. The slaughter over in Hay Flats was worse. The DOW agents found 18 elk killed as well, only small portions were eaten, just killing for fun training up the...

    Check out the Local office access report: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/whiteriver/alerts-notices Click on the Blanco District tab to see the trial condition reports. Lots of blowdown this winter and summer so carry a chainsaw.

    1st Rifle Elk Colorado question

    After three weekends of archery hunting for deer I’m again resigned that most hunters are lazy. Tons of atv’ s and vehicles zipping up and down the trials and roads but no shoe leather getting burned up. In 8 days in the woods, we did not see another person on foot. Last weekend the bulls were...

    Definitely head for Hay Flats, the trail can get rough but get in there now so you can see what it's like. The herds do tend to move into Private so watch the borders for tracks.

    Have you ever been attacked by a cougar?

    I was sitting on a nice meadow one evening waiting on some hopeless elk to wander out. A nice fat doe came hauling butt crossing the meadow. She stopped at the tree line and spun around stomping and snorting, then she ran back across the meadow to spin around again and come back almost to me...

    Anyone considering the F150 Electric?

    I think for the Urban environment there is a good testing bed for the battery life, longevity of the vehicle and a network of charging stations. Check out this youtube experience. Shows truck limitation's and charging issues. Hint, I don't think these are right for pulling trailers cross...

    The north side gets a ton of pressure from the Outfitters but don't let that get you down. The elk do move and move a lot. The snow that last few days will get them into lower areas for a few days till it melts out. Which drainages are you looking at?

    Trying to rechamber a botched 30-06 improved

    As stated above, Cerro cast the chamber (easy to do and not expensive). Figure out ‘what’ it is chambered to. But seeing the bulge in the brass at the base is a no-go. Get a new barrel, go the Douglas site, match your barrel profile or call and get a new one then chamber it per your bolt face.

    Anyone considering the F150 Electric?

    With gas prices climbing, and now going down a bit, I see more and more people driving quads on the street. Not street legal but the cops don’t seem to care. On another note about electric pickups, went out hunting with my son over the Labor Day weekend. On our way out a guy was pulling in a...

    Colorado Elk Unit 24

    I seriously doubt if the number of road hunters (ATV/UTV) will change anything. Most folks are still scared to get into the woods. So burn some boot leather and you will find elk. I was glassing from a ridge last month and watched 3 UTV's drive right past a group of bedded cows not 40 yards...
