Yes the pine gulch fire from Colorado. I have been trying to get hunt talk to change my user name before I add my location. ( I have a hunting stalker). I am hoping to be able to contribute going to do a short scouting trip October 1st 2nd & 3rd just trying to narrow down some target areas to scout.
Has anyone been in the area of the pine gulch fire from last year? I am doing some e-scouting and trying to decide if it is even worth scouting that area. Any info would be great thanks
Thanks for all the advice. This will be my second year elk hunting. I have been hunting for over 35 years in the midwest for Whitetail, but elk hunting out west has proved to be a lot more challenging. I will be there first rifle so even though its draw I am sure I will see plenty of other...
What is the best strategy for where on the mountain you should be early in the morning while waiting on the sun to come up? I know early the thermals will be going down until the sun starts to come up which will switch the thermals to run up the mountain. With elk feeding lower in the morning...
I will be hunting Colorado 1st season, and have noticed there will be a full moon that week. Does anyone have any tips for hunting post rut bulls during a full moon?
Wanting to go scout this group of units for 1st rifle elk, but not sure where to start. It's a lot of area to cover. Does anyone have some starting points as far as access areas and parking? Any info would be appreciated don't need your secret spots, but I'd take them 😂. I don't mind hiking and...
I'll also be in these units 1st rifle. Never been to these units before so I'm hoping to make it out and scout a few times this summer. Do you know if we are able to use the roads that lead to the the oil rigs?
Last year was my first time hunting elk, and I spent a lot of time preparing watching videos and listening to podcasts. I spent 5 days on the mountain hiked over 34 miles by myself seen plenty of mule deer and moose, a bear, but no elk. Regardless of not seeing any elk it was the best time...
Sweet scope. I plan on getting the same scope for my new Weatherby as soon as my Leupold VX-3i cds zl 4.5x14-40 I have listed on ebay sells. I would just use it but it is in a burnt bronze cerekote which won't match my new rifle barrel. I can't wait to get mine.
I bought a Tikka T3x 30-06 last May for elk season, but ended up not being impressed. I am left handed so I went with the Tikka because of the left handed model. I ended up using something different in Colorado, and the Tikka is just collecting dust now. Actually tried to trade it in at...
I didn't realize checking the forums would cost me money today, but I am a sucker for a raffle especially when it comes to a good cause and hunting gear!
So I am a whitetail hunter from Indiana that will be elk hunting Colorado 1st rifle season this year. I have been watching every elk hunting video I can, and I have went and scouted my units twice this year so far. I am trying to figure out how the thermals work. Can someone explain thermals and...
I am looking to buy a new rifle for elk hunting. I am looking for a good quality bolt action rifle that is left handed. Seems like I am going to end up with a Browning X-bolt or a Tikka T3x. Curious if anyone has any insight on either of those two rifles or if any left hand hunter have found a...
