    Truck camp sleeping bags

    The Browning bags rock, get the -30 rectangular McKinley or Klondike. I have one from 12 to 13 years ago with the fleece lining and I'm 6'5" so I can stretch out and still use a pillow and turn over without busting the zipper. My wife steals it every camping trip but I have exclusive rights...

    Tent Heater

    Go with both (y), us the Lp to get the chill off in the morning while the wood stove is heating up. Nothing beats the wood stove for drying out your wet cloths, and nothing will make you miserable like wet cloths. We run the same setup as twsnow18 and its perfect. Good sleeping bags and even...

    Going Soft - RV Advice Needed

    The bunkhouse type set ups for travel trailers are a huge win with kids and your hunting friends! They have the floor space for bad weather, small enough you can keep them warm and if you have a slide for the dinette you can sit and read in comfort. I'm still a tent guy but the wife is losing...

    A few newbie questions

    Get your daughter to the range as much as possible and be shooting out to 200 yards. Once she is confident in her skills get out of the way and get a second job so you can pay for her tags because you will be doing the trip again! My kids favorite hunt every year is antelope, it's the only...

    First DIY backcountry hunt in CO: lessons learned

    I like the write up, and welcome to Colorado elk hunting. E-scouting is a great tool but nothing beats boots on the ground. At least you saw animals and it sure gets in your blood for being up there exploring the wilds. If your planning on going back to the same area you might contact the...

    Moving to Wyoming (Looking for advice).

    We have been non-resident landowners for 11 years now and I'm still surprised at how much my wife and kids love being there. We got lucky, my aunt was real big on the Living (tree) fences so she planted trees all over on the ranch, and we ended up with two healthy rows north of where the house...

    Sorry, Rock River. My kids keep calling it Red Rock and it's just stuck with us.

    Moving to Wyoming (Looking for advice).

    Hey, leave Wamsutter out of this, we don't need anymore than the three folks we have, four is a crowd you know! Thermopolis is great but you better plan on having a ton more kids to fit in, and plan on having them wear anchor chains so they dont blow away. My wife and I are building on our...

    Any way to hunt Texas hogs for free?

    If you would like to stay in Colorado consider hunting the Arkansas River valley. There are populations of hogs there now. Start door knocking on the mellon farms along the river and see what pops up. With all the irrigation fields along the river there are great wildlife buffers and return...

    Bumper Lights / Off road lights setup

    I've got ditch lights on my baja bumper, we run a ton of mountain roads with switchbacks and they are so nice for seeing around the bend, saved me from hitting a moose last year that was just standing there. Just switch mount them and turn them on when you need them.

    Truck Fuel MPG

    I'm running a stock 2009 GMC Duramax, no add on junk and we are getting 22-26 mpg if we keep it under 75. Hook up the flatbed and load the quads and camping gear and we drop down to 16 to 18 mpg

    CO Antelope - Units 137, 138 & 144

    I’ve hunted these units for 22 years, the population numbers go up and down with the availability of water and range conditions. That being said this year numbers were way down but so were the number of hunters. Go to the Forest service office in Springfield and get a copy of the pasture...

    Uncompahgre Plateau poaching case ends with guilty pleas

    I’m surprised they actually prosecuted them. I’ve turned in folks for much worse and they didn’t press charges. Had a guy from Tennessee shoot a cow in front of me last year and didn’t even attempt to get it, just jumped on his quad and rode off. Told the warden about it gave him plates and all...

    E-Scouting Gate or Cattle Guard?

    You might want to try the State website as well, it's called COTREX, set up the user name and login and then you can see the roads and trails, it shows closures. https://trails.colorado.gov/ It's a great site for us here in Colorado, toggle between map and satellite view.
