Sounds like I should be prepared for brisk! I tend to keep books on my phone, great for when you take a break elk hunting and just post up on a slope somewhere to recharge. Agree though that paying attention and not getting too distracted is part of it. The land is in lower. Probably the most...
Welp we're shirking our traditional bird hunt in South Dakota this year because my dad bought some land in N Michigan and can't wait to deer hunt on it. Last time I was deer hunting was when I was 11:
I'm used to tromping up ridges and kicking my own ass out here hunting elk.
Sitting in a...
It's a gem. Mr.Ammo and I try to do a backcountry ski trip there once a year where we hit a deep pow day on wolf creek pass and retire to our room, hotshowers and cold beer in fluffy bathrobes, margs the size of my head across the street 😁
Grouse season opens this weekend! 😃 I have a "problem" (addiction? obsession?). Supposed to be rock climbing in the bighorns but I think me and the dog are going to sneak away and thump some duskies....
+1 for Del Norte! Second vote is for South Fork, though haven't had great food over there. Pagosa is a touristy zoo. Avoid like the plague unless you want to eat fudge with Texans in a swimming pool 'hot spring'.
Stay at the Windsor in Del Norte - it's an old hotel that they've renovated and...
Do it!! Even just for the ass kicking and #fitness. Even on my diet of poptarts and easy cheese I always come out toned with buns of steel by the end of elk hunting.
Do you know anyone in CO? Many friends will always offer to haul for us if we give them a cut of the meat and we've taken a...
Scouting. Poured rain, dog and I high tailed it back to truck (soaked to the bone), husband ran around for 3 more hours like a crazy man. Hoping it's a little calmer in a few weeks for the real deal!!
We have 2 trucks which when running a business in the mountains was a necessity but now seems a bit much (mountain bizness is no mo). We're thinking of selling the F150 (2021, not paid off) and keeping the Tacoma (2016, paid off). The F150 is nicer for car camping and comfier on road trips but...
I used bag liners for years in rifle season conditions. I have a new 0 degree that keeps me toasty but a bag liner plus a decent bag is nice in some circumstances.
Stand up chest freezer, functions perfectly. Keeps a whole elk frozen! Retail was $250. Cleaned and ready for hunting season. $150 obo. Pick up in Eldorado Springs.

Boulder CO just had a small fire already last weekend. Me and husband unit are moving next month from the big city (Denver) (we used to spend winters in the middle of nowhere which I miss) to the mountains (hooray! - but also yipes - fires). Really aware that 'fire season' is going to be thing...
