    Paddling in to hunt Mule Deer in Colorado. (Or other states).

    I can't think of anywhere to paddle on a river on the Western Slope other than the Co River below Grand Junction or Gunnison anywhere above the confluence of the North Fork, and the North fork of the Gunnison is darn near all private. I'd think I'd only want a 3rd or 4th season tag in those...

    Randy helped me get a bull

    Would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that plan. That's impressive!

    Proposed wolf reintroduction location-Colorado

    You know it's coming. Take a look at CA and no lion or bobcat hunting! I'm surprised that we still have bear hunting in this nutty libtard place. CO is becoming equally nutty, and bans are coming to you folks very, very soon.

    California ptarmigan

    Nice to know. I was at North Lake (above Bishop) and the 2 other little lakes just above North Lake in May, and did not see any. Will pay closer attention next time for sure.

    Sierra 165 tipped game king

    In 280AI, I don't think you can drive a 165 anything fast enough to get it to separate on game. I shoot the 140 TGKs out my 270win guns nowadays, and they are factory from Sierra. My guns like them just fine. Guessing they are coming out somewhere about 2900 from my 22" barrels. Shot a deer...

    California ptarmigan

    I spend my share of time fishing above 10k feet in the Southern and Eastern half Sierras, and have never seen a ptarmigan. Can't say I look for them, but I'm sure if I saw one I'd have taken taken interest and made a mental note. Maybe I've just not been in the part of the Sierras that they...

    Task force $1,950 NR elk tag

    I'm a NR hunter to CO and UT. If WY was closer, I'd hunt there instead. That being said, I'm all good with states pricing based on supply and demand and charging NR a higher fee than residents. Guess they will figure out what that economic intersection number is through increases in fees...

    Another fine quality Vortex Diamondback…

    Starting to wonder why anyone buys Vortex stuff. Just Saying.

    The CO leftover list got me to bite.

    So I got my 2nd choice deer tag (doe) in unit 11 2nd rifle, not even close to the tag I want, but all good to get some decent meat and get my yearly CO hunting/fishing vacation in too. Can't complain with 0 preference points after burning them last year. I mainly focus on naps and fishing...

    Trip to the coast

    At least ya got a day in and some ocean silvers! That harbor entrance has got to be one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Guys running boats there have to border on crazy to deal with that regularly!

    Moving in a year. Reno vs Colorado Springs vs Denver suburbs

    I go to Reno a few times a year. Can't say I'd like to live there. Long drive to anywhere too, so would be really reliant on the airport. I know you did not mention it, but Grand Junction might be a good place to check out for just about every reason you listed (except pro sports).

    Getting old school, new tech-New CVA Scout 35 Whelen

    Range day today with the new rig. Got sighted in and started poking out to 200, 300, 400, and then started shooting groups. Used the 200gr Fed Fusion and the Choice Ammo 225gr Accubond. The 200gr Fusion shot fine, right at 1" for 3 shot groups at 100. The Choice Ammo 225gr Accubonds shot 3/4"...

    Rain Gear?

    I'm all good with my $30 FroggTogg suit if I need it while hunting. Good insurance and fits easy in the pack. I won't hunt in rain anyway, so only carry it just in case I'm hunting and a shower or T-storm pops up. If it's raining and expected to rain, I stay in camp.

    Nothing but opinionated BS

    What do you mean Chicago and Gary Indiana areas are # 1 and #2 shitholes????? Lol. Clearly you did not travel through Syria or Afganistan.

    Sounding pretty good to me these days!

    Rifle Mule Deer Approach

    I'd say if you've not hunted the area before, you need to glass and move often until you find fresh sign or animals standing in their tracks. There is plenty of sage flat and hills/canyons that deer won't be utilizing. After you have a few areas identified, then it's time to set up shop and...

    MORE Idaho hunting tags in my mailbox today

    Ouch. What an absolute disgusting shame that this happened. Sounds like something that would happen in my state. Of course in my state, you'd be charged 3x too!

    Ruger or Savage

    I've looked both the Savage Axis and Ruger American over pretty good a few years ago. The nod goes to the Ruger American for bedding and trigger for sure, and the accuracy of the American I picked up in 270 is more than acceptable. What I do not like about the Ruger American is the plastic...
