    Any interest from wood turners?

    I’ll weigh it tomorrow and get an estimate. Tell him an Ohio State themed pen would be wonderful :LOL:

    Any interest from wood turners?

    I used to do a fair bit of work on a wood lathe, but after moving and losing access to a spot for a work shop, I’m offloading the last bit of wood I have to free up some garage space. I’m not sure what to price this at or request in return, so I would leave that open to the recipient. I’m...

    CO front range fitness: Mt Morrison ed.

    Updated the original post to include the two weight classes of #20 and #60, I think that's a good setup. I'm excited to see how things shake out!

    CO front range fitness: Mt Morrison ed.

    I feel like we should pick a standard pack weight or maybe two: a heavy and a light weight and then have people target that weight, maybe?

    CO front range fitness: Mt Morrison ed.

    As much as fitness goals should really be based on yourself and not concerned with what others are doing, I tend to find enjoyment and thus greater motivation when there’s some friendly competition involved. As such, I’m opening up a “time trial” of sorts on a front range hike that I use as a...

    Trail cameras

    I like having cameras out just because I like seeing what's out there and I occasionally capture some interesting scenes. I also like acquiring data - what time of year / time of day do different species travel through a certain area, when does it change, stop, etc. Like @Big Sky Guy mentioned...

    Long term hunt planning

    It definitely resonates with the "401k" discussions above. Quite an investment, and that feels a bit difficult to commit to. While I don't have any kids, I do feel like I'm trying to save up for a home at possibly one of the worst times in history.

    Long term hunt planning

    It's been a mix, actually. First three seasons were rifle and last two were archery. I've been at it solo, so the learning opportunities don't come as quickly. The archery hunt has consumed my soul though, and I came extremely close to letting an arrow fly this year - had it not been for a pine...

    Long term hunt planning

    That's a great perspective, and it only slightly conflicts with my actual 401k

    Long term hunt planning

    Got it - that's officially my only plan! Luckily mule deer has proven to be much better odds, so it's not complete misery

    Long term hunt planning

    As I'm sure is quite common around here, I'm well into the planning / preparation phase for the 2025 season. I have general ideas in place, concepts of a plan, if you will, but I typically second-guess myself for a while before finally committing - and a recurrent lack of success in the elk...

    Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's

    This was just a couple weeks ago, 2nd rifle in CO hunting mule deer. I was slow hunting my way down through this drainage and spotted a small group of deer feeding probably a few hundred yards from me. I paused and just watched them, since there were just a couple does and two small bucks in the...

    Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?

    It turned out that my concern was unwarranted. I did see other vehicles in a couple spots nearby, but I never even saw another person, let alone another hunter.. punched the tag on day 2, and I’d say the “moderate” distance approach worked. I got into several pockets of deer about 1.5 miles off...

    Colorado Mini “Death Hike”?

    I was curious why I noticed ice axes on packs halfway through.. 3k a day seems reasonable - I always have to force myself to eat enough though when I'm constantly exerting. the days where I force myself to sit down and eat more I usually feel much better by the end of the day. 5lbs lost seems...

    CO non-typical

    Congrats on an awesome bull, and sorry such an awful thing happened to you. I like to think the majority of other hunters aren't complete scum bags, but sometimes I wonder if I'm far off with that idea..

    Colorado Mini “Death Hike”?

    Absolutely epic journey, the paradise valley / hells canyon segment looked incredible. Thanks for sharing! With such big days, are you planning for different caloric loads on different days of the trip? How do you handle the food planning when it seems unreasonable to pack enough to compensate...
