    Aging Squirrel

    The Kentucky modern gun season came to a close today. 3 weekends in the deer woods always leads to pondering what to do once the season ends. Grab the bow? Wait until late muzzleloader? Give up deer and shift focus to ducks? (This is usually the winner). Anyone that has sat a stand for...

    Broke leather? Weave cord.

    Getting ready for a night fishing trip on Kentucky Lake, and want to bring my grandad's filet knife. After digging around the garage I finally found the sheath, but was bummed when I saw the belt loop leather hanging by a thread. Paracord was the idea that sounded the best to me. Should last...

    Waterproofing Gear at Home?

    Ever re-apply DWR or similar coatings at home? I have previously used Atsko on a jacket and set of gloves with some success. Meaning it worked very well for 6 months, then tapered off in effectiveness. Any other products that you have used with better results?

    Started GSP

    Seven month old GSP male "Maverick" E-collar conditioned, introduced to gun fire and birds. Holds point well and will range close or far depending on how he instructed. Originally wanted to train him as a versatile gundog, but have realized a lab suits my needs much better. He does well for an...

    Processing Time - Start to Finish?

    How long on average does it take for you to fully process your wild game? Including any trimming, slicing, or grinding. I'm about 8hr or so into breaking down two (2) deer and feel like it is taking me longer than it should. I am admittedly very picking on trimming for the grind pile. I...

    Another Year of Memories Made

    Starting as just another day during Kentucky's modern firearm deer season, ending with bloody hands, full coolers and big smiles! Thanksgiving 2023 is one I'll store in the back of my mind. I'm not the best storyteller and typing on a phone sure won't help, so please bear with me through errors...

    November Fishing - Estes Park

    My wife has a business trip in Estes Park, early November. Is it worth bringing along a fishing pole? I've been up there several times but always during the summer. Will there be access to any of the lakes? Any help is appreciated 👍

    Paging resident tree choppers - advice needed

    Some recent straight line winds split a hickory which is blocking our driveway. Luckily We have a secondary option and have used it for the last day and a half. The problem is, FedEx and UPS will not use that route which is causing troubles with receiving my red dot for my AR. Top is chopped...

    On the hunt for the perfect mid/outer layer (2022)

    What does everyone reccomend (or is currently using) for a warm packable layer that can be used as an outer layer in ~40° temps and as a mid layer when it gets colder? I currently own an older version of the Sitka Kelvin Lite and dislike the hood on it. Other than that it is okay, just feels as...

    Hiking to Fish

    Anyone have reccomendations for lakes/ponds that require a hike to get back into? The closer to Colorado Springs the better, but I know I'll have to drive a ways to get into the good places. The (running) plan is to get away from roads and trails to spend a couple nights next to some water...

    Front Range Turkeys

    Looking for some info on finding turkeys on the front range of the Rockies. Things like terrain types, food sources and what not. Also, how much gobbling could one expect?

    Small Game Opportunities - COS Area

    Through an fortunate/unfortunate chain of events my move to the Colorado Springs area now finds me without a job lined up. I was thinking of taking the time between finding another job to explore some small game hunting opportunities, if for no other reason to keep me sane in a somewhat trying...

    The Rut Is On!

    https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWRcVPqJOQM/?utm_medium=copy_link Wish the audio was a little better. He was grunting right before he took off running. I have called in 3 seperate bucks in the last week, including a monster that stopped at 10yd behind a tree then winded me. Was full draw on...

    A Good Deal? You Tell Me

    This BowTech Reign 6 is on a local classified page. Seems like a good deal, but I am pretty green too most things archery related. Currently shooting a Diamond Infinite Edge Pro if that matters

    Waterfowl Hunting Near Colorado Springs?

    Any ducks or geese to chase on public land near the springs? I'm assuming one would have to drive around an hour or more to be in birds. Any insight is appreciated!

    Got my Beretta back from the cerakote guy

    After a couple years of messing around with cheaper shotguns, I finally saved up all summer to give myself a large enough budget to buy whatever gun gave me the warm and fuzzies. Long story short it came down to either the Benelli M2 or Beretta A400 Xtreme Plus. Turns out everyone and their...
