    Anybody Upgrade Their Delorme inReach With The Garmin Offer?

    Has anyone taken advantage of the https://explore.garmin.com/Promotions/Upgrade2024? offer? The big catch for me is the "your device will be permanently deactivated" clause. It seems like they are really pushing to get all the old devices off the network.

I worked up to the load last year for my son to deer hunt with and all seemed just fine. Regular bolt...

    Looking for advice. I have a 45 ACP (Tanfoglio EAA Witness) that has a muzzle compensator on it. I find myself now living in an area that doesn't allow that (threaded barrel). No comment or discussion on that part of things. It is what it is. What I'm trying to figure out is should I get...

    Help With Single Pin Adjustable Sight Tapes

    Quick question for those of you shooting a single pin adjustable sight. I have an older CBE Tek Hybrid Pro that came on a used bow I bought a year or so ago. I didn't use it because the screws holding the sight tape on were rounded out so the allen key just spun in the heads. PITA. I finally...

    WTT - 16ga Herter's Shotshells (#8 shot) for 6.5 Creedmoor - Colorado Front Range

    I am in search of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. My son is old enough for his first Colorado deer hunt in October. I have finally found a rifle for him to use. I figure I can find hunting rounds by October (hopefully) but what I really need is for him to get trigger time at the range between now...

    Unit 20 Second rifle over......before it started.

    Thoughts and support to anyone in the path of the Cameron Peak or Calwood fire. I've been watching the closure area from Cameron Peak eat into unit 20 from the north. Today the Calwood fire started in the south end of the unit. I'm holding out hope that I'll find some open area to chase muleys...

    I'm looking to hunt a unit closer to home so my kids can come with me on afternoon/evening hunts. I've not hunted the front range before. I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on unit 20 compared to 29. They both seem to have pretty decent populations and success rates for 2nd rifle...

    Headed to unit 87 in the morning. Looks like it will be a cold and wet hunt with 80% chance of rain Sunday night. Just wondering if anyone has advice on how bad the roads get with a few days of rain. I have chains for the rear (can't put them on the front unfortunately). I'm planning on...

    Colorado Shooting Range Advice/Opinions?

    I've been looking at either Colorado Rifle Club or Lead Valley Range. Does anyone have experience/opinions about one vs the other. They are both a good distance (hour and a half or more) from my house but finding a range that is not too expensive and has memberships open is a challenge here...

    Snowtrekker Tents?

    I heard a discussion on "Beyond the Kill" a bit ago about Snow Trekker tents. Does anyone have any first hand experience with them? I like the weight benefit of them. Not looking to carry one on my back but space in the truck and ease of single person setup is a concern. I don't currently...

    Just received an email from onX that says for the cost of a yearly membership I get both the app and the chip updates. I think I pay $30 every year to update my chip and for the same cost I can use the app too. I've been curious to try the app but wasn't going to pay for that separate from the...
