I see my role as an ambassador of sorts. If there’s even a whiff of that type of turn in conversation I’ll redirect to a variety of other tangential topics (wildlife sightings, adventures, preserving public lands). Most people haven’t met an outdoorsmen so it’s more of a conversation out of...
No, they (anti-hunter) don’t engage with me. I live in the most self-righteous liberal city in Colorado; people are generally curious and it’s always a respectful conversation.
Trying to tell a 6’ 4” guy driving his truck with a 70lb GSP in the back how to spend their time/money? Good luck with...
I think @Dave N was eluding to getting an elk out of that kind of situation being that far in.
Don’t over think it; wilderness areas hold plenty of elk and are not as recreated / pressured as you might think.
What I gather is you’re asking about how to hunt highly accessible and highly recreationalized unit in the early season.
Generally - the resident animals who stick around will be conditioned to human presence and pressure. You also didn’t clarify what you’re hunting, but being it’s OTC I’m...
There is no way that goes through (I hope). I work too hard to have my tax dollars handed over to people who shouldn’t have been illegally crossing the border in the first place. Putting your family in that situation and getting awarded that kind of sum sets the wrong precedent.
Just wanted to bump this thread - I ran into an issue where I cut my cape too short according to my taxidermist.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I could get one? I would really like to shoulder mount my first bull
This was the only reputable site I came across...
Gotcha - thanks for the clarification @cedahm! I spoke with CPW and the other week and they weren’t able to give me much guidance as to how the system actually worked.
Quick question - I had a few “B” tag options in my 4 deer selection rows - it just kept coming back as “not available for sale” when I tried to get one at 11:00:01am. Should I try adding to cart before 11:00:00am MT is what you’re saying?
I don’t know of any in particular that I would recommend. I’m sure there’s regional RMEF group(s), BHA, archery, and shooting groups that might be a good start. Volunteering your time is always good practice to meet the right folks.
I was the same age when I moved to the front range. It’s...
Update - the issue appeared to be my cheek rest; I was having to slightly hold my check up on the comb and that was causing the accuracy issues. Everything seems to be good go now
Dumb question - but what screen is everyone “staging” on? I was logged into CPWshop at 10:56am MT and was in the deer tag section (where you select your top 4) until 11:00am MT struck and it just kept saying “this tag is not available”. These are deer B tags FWIW
When I normally draw it puts...
Took my Dad through Rocky Mountain National Park to spend a night at the historic Grand Lake Lodge.
My Dad doesn’t hunt but it was fun showing him elk in the spotting scope!
I had a situation with this type - but actually read the writing on the wall; I decided not to marry her. That advice doesn’t really help you unfortunately.
Take some responsibility - there was clear writing on the wall about what her priorities were/are (being close to her family).
The weird...
