East Troublesome Fire - 2020 to now info needed
That 850 is the EE code right? Yes I would go with the computer info if I were you. Good luck on your adventure. -
Vail bighorn sheep
so the northern sheep(S77) have the good genetics of the S2 herd? Or was it a mixed herd sourced from wherever? Ive seen goats north of Ute pass as well as south of Ute and always figured they came down off Ptarmigan and G-15 to enjoy those few remaining rock piles. On the sheep map its...- squirrel

Vail bighorn sheep
Will the movements during the winter be available for the public? They've been dropping into the Blue drainage sporadically during the winter. Always wondered from which segment they came Northern or southern populations.- squirrel

East Troublesome Fire - 2020 to now info needed
You may want to pick up some black sweats at Walmart for your camo. And you may want to re-think your presumption that "some of it has to be OK". Where the wind got to 70 MPH there is nothing left (and this is the majority of the burn). No horizontal branches on black toothpicks type cover... -
Supposed "food shortages" in America and higher food prices. How do they affect hunting?
The secret is Soylent green, and the corollary secret is to jump on that particular bandwagon early on, cause if you don't have a seat at the table you are certain to be on the menu. Pat McManus wrote frequently about "FREE MEAT!" Very funny cause it was all basically true.- squirrel

CO Elk harvest statistics
Your concern is mis-placed, it should be with the herd count and buck/bull/100 numbers. This is where the voodoo math kicks in It would be interesting if they would publish the % success of NR, public land, OTC, un-guided hunters, but that would lead to a lot of people staying home and hunting... -
Bulls for Billionaires take 2 (Wyoming edition)
First I ALWAYS pick up the phone, even when its the extended car warrantee girl, then (if its not her again) first question is "have we spoken before". It's just more and easier money if the groundwork has already been laid. I like sleeping in until 5, waking up to the llamas being gone and... -
WLH charged. Heads up if you've booked
Vehicle, struck track, followed till freshened at doe carcass. It would appear that Zane Grey's "Young Lion Hunter" is a bit dated... pity that.- squirrel

WLH charged. Heads up if you've booked
That is an overly broad statement, I insisted on being there for location of the track and release of the hounds for a lion hunt. The actual hunt is the search for the track to follow after all. The golden rule applies he who provides the gold makes the rules. While running after the...- squirrel

Kansas deer rifle or archery
Do NOT assume the rut will be over for rifle, though you should treat each day as a precious gift as it can turn off at a moments notice and go from 5-10 bucks /day to 1 every few days! Public land can be incredible and un crowded, it can also be poor and very crowded. You can have square... -
Colorado cow moose
Sorry I just tuned in for the priceless irony of foldem giving legal behaviour advise, but you have super odds of drawing a cow moose if you aren't picky about where you go to hunt them. Tasty too! The Princess has gotten several. This year I am over the minimum and have high hopes.- squirrel

Do you own a ranch?
This thread cracks me up. SIL never mows her yard, her grass, or her lawn... She mows her "acre", and she says it with 'tude, so as to show it means something and you should be impressed and acknowledge it. I always figured if you are zoned ag, it's a start, if your county has no zoning its...- squirrel

Colorado Elk Highs and Lows
I concur with jls. an inch or so (elk are well hung) left ATTACHED to a hind ham is irrefutable evidence. WAY less messy and it is actually easier once you do it Have I been threatened with a ticket... yes. has a ticket ever been written?? NO... The regs are full of discretionary tickets... -
Snakes in Tents?
Had to read this one after last spring looking at a house where the blown in cellulose insulation was a huge "worm farm" for big ass worms... Holes in it every foot or so and hundreds of 4-7' long snake skins on top of and half way in and out of those holes throughout the whole attic. I don't...- squirrel

Binged on it to catch up during their presidents day weekend marathon. Missed a few details due to life getting in the way of fiction.

First time elk hunting, Archery or rifle?
Look at your reasons for going hunting, do you want the meat in the freezer and the bragging rights to that whopper 4pt, or do you want to learn about elk and hunt elk? Bow is harder, the Indians lost for a reason. But spending a month on a mountain learning all about those big guys is fun... -

Damn Texicans stealing all the talent paid for with my tag$... then the new guys have to chase them all for practice yet again. While the truck bound boys write tickets for walking on plowed county roads (harassment don't ya know)- squirrel

Advertisements that really hit home. (Sarcasm)
The pool of workers is right over my house semi-daily hazing deer and elk for miles. Fences?? They end up as ankle bracelets and neck ties... guess its just another state run jobs training program, with a spin -off of keeping up sales of barbed wire and fence pliers.- squirrel

Front Range Turkeys
Front range of CO is a tough nut to crack, not many birds, tons of miles of land lots of city guys doing exactly the same thing in the same spots. Any place with decent hunting is a draw, probably for good reasons. The few times it worked out for me (before I learned to go to better spots)...- squirrel
