You just never know about these guys!.....
That is just plain stealing. There is no shortage of people like that unfortunately. I bought a mule deer tag for a cousin several years ago (1992) that wanted to go with me to CO but couldn't afford it due to a divorce, who happened to be a pretty good taxidermist. The deal was, he would... -

Zumbo's Response
The only video of his I've seen was a sheep hunt with outfitter Nate Vance in NW WY probably 10-12 years ago. He looked to be capable of getting around fine back then. Did see his TV show a few times, and frankly didn't think it was that good. The only elk hunt I saw him in was on Three Forks... -

Zumbo's Response
I really don't understand the criticism of Zumbo. He makes his money by writing. It is a very time consuming job and with the amount of time he spends traveling, I can see why he would use a licensing service to relieve himself of that headache. The applications are worse than tax forms... -

Are you gonna draw?
I drew my ES elk tag for 1st rifle in the White River NF of Colorado. I'm also in for deer/antelope tags in northeastern Wyoming (Region B/Unit 29). I should draw both unless they really cut tag numbers this year. -

WY Reg B, Thunder Basin Natl Grasslands
We put in for Region B deer tags to hunt on a friends ranch he had bought there about a year ago. Just found out he sold it and the new owner won't let us hunt the property. So, we are looking into public land in Region B. I haven't hunted this area before and we aren't really interested in... -

Muzzlebrake Questions
I am considering buying a new lightweight bolt action rifle in 300 WSM. I am also thinking of putting a muzzlebrake on it. Are there any drawbacks to using muzzlebrakes? -

Anybody thinking about Elk Yet?
I'm spending quite a bit of time looking at maps trying to decide areas to scout this summer in the White River NF in Colorado. Trying another new spot this year. And hoping that a friend doesn't sell his WY ranch out from under us so we can go on a mulie/antelope hunt the first week of... -

Its Application time! What State are U
I put in for a 1st season either-sex elk tag for the White River NF units in Colorado and for mulie and antelope tags for northeastern Wyoming around Lance Creek. -

Cougar in the Backyard....
My neighbor had a pet ML when I was a little kid. We used to own a convenience store/gas station and my neighbor stopped in to get gas one day. This was back in the 70s when gas rationing was going on. He had his cat in his truck with him. I went outside to pet the cat. A guy had pulled up...- chambero

The dog days of mule deer
1. A little spring turkey hunting with my 22-250 (its legal where we live at in Texas). Great target practice. 2. A little bass fishing in Texas. 3. A trout fishing/scouting trip to northwest Colorado at the end of July. 4. A whole lot of planning for next October. -

Big changes being floated around for CO elk hunters
They just might get around to using a little common sense. -

If you pay $8000 for an Elk, is it a Trophy?
The key word is high fence. In my opinion, no animal taken inside a high fence should be considered a tropy. I believe I'm correct in that such animals are not eligible for B&C or Safari Club. However, that isn't my definition of a trophy either. A trophy in my opinion is any animal that you... -

Colorado: Quality or quantity?
I've always thought there was too big of a discrepancy between nonresident & resident fees. I don't think the nonresident fees are too high, but making resident bull elk fees something on the order of $100 or so shouldn't really preclude the lower middle class from hunting. Hunters in most... -

Logistics of Multi-State Hunting Trips
I am going to be making a 2+ week hunting trip this fall: first to Wyoming (mule deer & antelope near Lance Creek) and then to Colorado (elk in the White River NF area). Question No. 1 - Should I expect any hassels from game wardens in the field or at game check stations when I have a dead mule... -

Question on Cold Weather Tents
How large of a wall tent would you need to comfortably hold 4-5 people on cots + stove + a small table (i.e. a card table)? -

Question on Cold Weather Tents
I'm looking for a legitimate cold weather tent for next year that can take a stove. I'm tired of either sleeping cold in a pack-in tent without a heater or trying to drag my popup camper around over terrain it wasn't meant to go. Obviously, I'm considering a wall tent, but would like some... -

Thinking About Hunting the Flattops
Three friends and I are considering giving the Flattops in Colorado a try next year. I know the area gets hunted hard and that we shouldn't expect to find big bulls, but we are just wanting to connect with elk. We should be able to draw Either-Sex tags. I haven't been to the area before and... -

2003 Co. Unit 54 Photos
I didn't get anything on this trip. Actually, I never saw a dead animal on the whole trip. The elk were really scattered and they have a lot of room in this area to get away from folks. Even the horse hunters weren't finding them. KC, you had pointed me to this area. I appreciate the help... -

2003 Co. Unit 54 Photos
Here are some photos from my 1st season hunt. No dead critters, but beautiful country. These pictures were taken the evening before the season opened as my brother-in-law and I hiked up from Soap Creek toward Bonefisk Peak. I picked a poor campsite for out tent (too exposed) and got caught...
