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...- dmarsh2

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...- dmarsh2

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...- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
This is an awesome point, thanks for making it. Many of these spots Im planning to use to access multiple hunting areas, so the concept of probability wasn’t really on my mind before. Thanks!- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
I’m 28 and haven’t had anywhere near enough success hunting to be OK with getting skunked. I find solitude during backcountry fishing trips, but when it’s deer season my excitement directly correlates with deer. Good advice wth the hunter congregation point, that’s something I tend to try and...- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
Yep - mule deer. And that’s a great reminder and something I’m struggling with lately. I just finished my 5th elk season with yet again no elk, and the pressure through most of september to get one was almost making it unenjoyable. I would just keep pushing until I found fresh sign and if that...- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
Thanks again for all the input everyone! I'm feelin much better about hunting this high-pressured zone. Several of the recommendations are already woven into my plan, and it's quite reassuring to hear others recommend these strategies I've implemented. I'll update with the results and will send...- dmarsh2

Wife's first time
Curious what your wife’s views on hunting were in the past and how they’ve evolved? Mine is fine with the idea, loves to come scout with me, but currently doesn’t have much interest to actually hunt (and absolutely hates waking up at the asscrack of dawn).- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
Thanks for the helpful input - did notice a surprising amount of sign much closer to the roads than I expected. But the quote above has me a bit perplexed. Are you implying I won’t find bucks where the elk are? Or is it moreso the pressure brought on by the elk hunters? I’ve seen bucks in...- dmarsh2

Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?
I drew a 2nd rifle deer tag this year that I'll be heading out for in less than 7 days - I'm so excited my dreams are filled with mule deer hunts... Scouting trips have gone great - I've seen more deer and deer sign than I expected, so my number one fear (getting skunked) is pretty low on the...- dmarsh2

Transferable skills... whitetail to elk
You just described my september perfectly. ghost-town central. I finally checked a camera I had up on a wallow and through the entire month there were only 4 days where bulls came in.. (with a 17 day stretch where nothing came in) yes, whitetail are so much more predictable (patternable). I'm... -

Archery Hunting: middle of the day
