In my part of SE ID, there’s been enough snow that I’ve been seeing a ton of cows and calves right at the forest/sagebrush transition zone with most of them in small isolated stands of aspen in otherwise open country. I’ve assumed the bulls are still higher. And worth noting, this area is well...
Kinda odd to have autocorrect switch Bearfoot to Bigfoot by an account with the name Littlefoot. Maybe just a coincidence but seems like it might be a joker post? I sure hope so anyway
iPhone photo of a forky on private in CO 3rd season. Oh man I wanted him to move onto the nearby public.
I wonder if North Table Mountain in Golden still has a bunch of giant forkies? Some of them were studs
I sent this thread to an ME friend with some HVAC experience who’s considering a change of scenery/new job. Do post a link if you have it!
And out of curiosity, I peeked at Zillow assuming it would be a lower cost of living area. Boy was I wrong! I guess it’s still too close to Jackson?
One time when I was a teenager, I was shooting with my father and grandfather at a public range in the mountains of Colorado. There was one other group at the 100 yard rifle range with us. Both of our groups were shooting rifles and during one of the cease fires they decided to go put some clay...
glad y’all are okay. Whatever the price was, it was much cheaper than if anyone got seriously hurt! And lucky that it didn’t involve any other vehicles.
How big does a velvet bull need to be? A September spike is the main way most hunters could have an opportunity at a velvet bull. A lot of Montana units/tags make them off limits but there are plenty of opportunities in various states to chase spikes in early September.
There are some August...
Ooof, I recognized the mountains in the first three seconds. I only watched the first ~minute or so and my takeaway was who gives an influencer tips on where to go? In the world of hunting and fishing, I find it to be quite unfortunate that we seem to have a human desire to try to impress people...
While my bucket list is long, and largely egocentric, I feel like I’d be disappointed if I grew old without making a meaningful effort to support conservation. Especially for a species that is so unique to the North American West and one that will continue to face ever greater pressure. I might...
Some of the reservoirs out there have some good fishing (Jumbo, North Sterling, Jackson, Prewitt) for walleye and a few other species. I’m guessing wiper populations are still going down as last I checked CPW hasn’t been able to stock them for quite a few years. In my experience, those lakes are...
Ummm… not sure if that description does justice for a trip with a 30 incher and three more of at least 26 inches. Or maybe you just catch a lot more big walleye than most!
Congrats!
The town of Grand Lake is certainly set up for vacationers/tourists but I find it to be a nice little town. I’d rather walk Grand Ave and get ice cream and overlook Grand Lake than hangout in the town of Granby. RMNP is always busy but I like that west side for seeing a lot of moose - and you...
It sounded like the 10x52mm will actually have a little bit less FOV than the 42mm because it has more to do with the ocular end instead of the objective. But holy moly will it be good in low light.
I’ve been thinking about getting some 15x56 SLCs and maybe this summer will be a great time to...
The wife was supposed to leave for a work trip to TN on Monday but it got canceled because they got delayed leaving Idaho Falls and wouldn’t have been able to make their layover in Denver. And here I thought I had a week to goof around after work!

Looks like the refuge will remain!
