O i wanted to add suggestion for CO CPW,
2021 was my first year archery hunting in CO. and i was Surveyed for this tag. i was happy to answer.
but i ran into one issue: i spent 16 days in field total that September chasing Elk, in that time i hunted 6 different GMU's, but during the...
i look at that data and take it into consideration when picking units to hunt. sure i know it's not 100% accurate, but i like to believe that people who do answer is truthful and extrapolated data is accurate enough. i dont remember where but i did read CPW articles explaining how they...
i went out opening morning in central front range area. got to a spot little ways in.
made some calls, heard few hens clucking around but no gobblers.
heard another hunter somewhere far in the distance at 8am pop off 2 quick and a 3rd few sec delayed shot.
kept calling every 10-15 min...
first time NM applications for me.
put in for Ibex, Oryx, Barbary, Elk
wanted to put in for Javelina but timing just didnt work for me.
really optimistic for that 0.1% draw chance of Ibex :)
one more NM question for those more experienced. i've read JAVELINA page few times over and want to make sure i understood it correctly:
Q: seems to be that DRAW tag is what one would want? which is Units 19,23-27?
Units 19, 23–27 Jan. 1–31, '23 JAV–2–101 300 ES
Units 19, 23–27 Feb...
thanks, i was trying to figure out if what Regs say would hold true or not about being given w/in 10 days
From the Reg book:
Draw Refunds
Draw license fee refunds for unsuccessful applicants will be processed shortly after draw results are
released in April. Applications paid by credit card...
Hey i have a question for those of you who have applied past few years.
How long after results are released do you typically see Refund if not drawn?
If someone can get specific with dates from last year or two that would be much appreciated. Thank you
thanks, thats how i'm looking at NM,
being resident in CO i get plenty of OPPORTUNITIES, and plan on multiple hunts as i have past 3 years
NM could be that 1% chance at Premier hunt experience, so worth the raffle cost.
Hi all, hope someone can help me answer a question that i can't seem to find an answer to in NM regulations. *(pointing out page in regs works too so i can read it on my own).
this will be my first year applying in NM, figured might as well throw my name in there for some of the 1% draw units...
I chrono my ELD-X ammo and use Hornady app. Based on my data (i use MIL spec)
Just for fun here: 8,500’, 35% humidity,0 wind
At 0F i need to come up 28 clicks 2.79 (mrads)
At 75F i need to come up 27 clicks 2.71 (mrads).
1 (0.1 mrad)click = 1cm@100m, so at 500m thats 5cm (2inch diff). Actual...
i'm no LR expert by any means, but i do have a guy at work that is very much an expert in LR, Handguns, Reloading, competitive shooting, etc. so basically i get all my firearm related advice from him.
i too had started with 200m zero. and it works. especially if you dont want to adjust your...
haha, there are definitely hunts when my 2 current hunting partners can't make and i go in on my own.
Archery in 10 days, will be my SOLO and first time Archery hunt actually.
you got any good secret OTC Elk spots??? :)
Stay away from CO, no tags to be had here. j/k :)
you can easily hunt CO with 0pp.
besides OTC option for Rifle 2nd /3rd seasons. there are ton of units where you can draw for 1st or 4th rifle with 0points.
heck, in 2020 i accrued a PP as my 1st choice, drew Bull tag as my 2nd choice for...
last season i got my very first WT Doe, and it happened to test positive for CWD.
unfortunately i had to dispose of the meat as i was not going to eat it. triple bagged it and off to the landfill it went.
i even offered it to a friend who "doesnt believe in CWD :)" but he didnt want it.
got Garmin InReach MINI last year, used it about 5 month during hunt/hiking seasons. very happy. while TEXTs may take a min or two to go out/receive when in dark timber or skys arent clear, but they all have always gone out / received pretty fast.
also like that during month when i only...
