SW Colorado? Updated w Hunt Results !
Lol, this Texan will be up high. Of course I grew up in Golden so I am not a "true" Texan, just couldn't take the Califonication of Colorado. Damn hippies. -

Scouting Question
No idea. I am not going down a comfy hiking trail, all told it is probably 4-7 miles of hiking into the area so that would be 1.5-3 miles per hour. That is over a ridge that will require gaining 1,400 vertical and then dropping about 600 vertical on the backside to get to the spots I want to... -

Scouting Question
I am getting to my unit on Wednesday before the season opens on Saturday and plan to scout Thursday and Friday (and maybe Wednesday evening depending on arrival time and how long camp takes to set up). How many guys would head into the woods well before daylight to scout versus wait until... -

Colorado Tag Question
I did not see steps 7 and 8 in the book. I just spoke with Larry a hunt planner and he said to tag it per normal process (he clarified the carcass tag should be on the quarter with the tesitcles attached which is new infor to me) and have a copy of the other hunter's license (photo on phone will... -

Colorado Tag Question
I read that section and it was not clear. I get the transporting of game section, but that seemed to be if the hunter is with the game. In this case he is flying out and I am driving back. -

Colorado Tag Question
I plan on calling a hunt planner when they open but thought I would also ask here. My son is going to be in camp for second rifle until he flies back on Thursday. If he harvests an animal and we do all the proper tagging what else needs to be done for me to haul his elk back home? I know when... -

You guys seen this?
I am glad I watched to the end. He seemed genuinely appreciative and understood what he shot - that is a good thing. He did have a lot of hand holding to get there and did it differently than I do it, but if I had a few billion to toss at hunting and fishing who is to say I would not do it the... -

Fire Impact on Colorado Hunting Pressure
I am wondering what everyone's thought are on the impact of the fires on season selection for Colorado. Does anyone else think people may turn in a first rifle tag get back their points and switch to OTC? Or do you think the relative amount of ground is small enough not to have an impact? -

Colorado Unit 128 Anyone familiar?
Probably because it took you longer to type your response than whether there are any elk late in the year there. -

Colorado Unit 128 Anyone familiar?
I am only curious at this point, we already have our tags for a different unit but on the left over list there are cow tags left in 128 (69 of them) and they are list c. I looked at OnX and there is VERY little public ground in that unit. Other than that I don't know anything about it. Does... -

Backcountry hunting and extra ammo?
I have seen and heard 4 shots in one encounter from very good riflemen. Sometimes wind drift is an issue and you can't tell until you full send. I carry around 10 - 15 rounds for my rifle at all times not that I would ever use that many but I don't want less than 1/2 a pound to be a difference... -

Who else got lucky this morning?
No, not that way perv this isn't that kind of board. I mean in the left-over tag system for Colorado. Scored a limited entry tag first rifle tag. 2 of the 3 of us hit it, third guy is deciding what to do. We offered to turn ours back in if he wants to go OTC instead. To me its more about having... -

Colorado 1st Rifle 2020
The popularity of the reserved spots is fairly typical. Keep in mind most of the reservable campgrounds only allow reservations to the end of September. -

ALBINO BULL !!
I would but for a different reason - to remove the genes from the pool. -

Solo guy needs your thoughts?
If I were you I would go for it and hunt where you want to. Yes, there is some risk with grizzlies but you have the experience so use that experience to avoid having a bad outcome. -

Bullet holes 1,000 meters
I am pretty sure there isn't a scope that can do that. This is an 80x (yes 80x) scope view at 1,100 yards, I don't think a person could see a bullet hole at that distance. Most of the time when we are shooting out that far it is a hit or miss that counts. We use steel targets and listen for the... -

Price point = good scopes
This is very true. The step up from $200 to $500 in quality is bigger than the step up from $500 to $1,000. To be fair, from $500 to $1,000 gets you a lot but not so much quality of features and functionality, clarity at distance, variable range (say a 4, 5, or 6x range) which all are very good...
