I saw in another thread that you are maybe only hunting deer this year. Still going with that big slug?

I appreciate you guys mentioning Thor Bullets. I just ordered a pack of the Thor 300 grains in .501 diameter. It fit nice and snug in the barrel of my CVA Wolf Compact with faintly visible grooves...

Got my deer tag (DM035O1M).

Dumb question: I checked the box for the leftover draw, but I am almost certain I'll draw my bull elk tag (EMO4401M). If I get the bull tag, can I still apply in the...

This is my first year applying, so I don't have any preference pts. I don't see any new pref pts for deer, so that means I got the tag, right?

Said a prayer for you. I know you'll get to meet him soon when he is a healthy full-term baby boy. Take care of yourself and your wife.

Yeah, I know they're a pest and cause many a broken leg for cattle. I'm not saying pest control is a bad reason to shoot them. I know a lot of people eat squirrels and I was wondering if the same...

Do any of you guys eat the prairie dogs you shoot, or are you just solving a problem for ranchers? Maybe I've been reading too much Steven Rinella. That guy eats everything. If you do eat them, how...

I'm enjoying reading the book you mentioned - "The Still Hunter." I think it is going to come in very handy for muzzy hunting this fall. I can tell that your perspectives are not that different...

must be too early for deer and elk. "No Results Found Within The Specified Years." Glad to know about this though.

What's the backdoor method?

For me wolves are one of most powerful symbols of wilderness. Some of the first books I ever read as a kid were Jack London's White Fang and Call of the Wild. My dad likes to tell a story about me...

Amen. Follow your dream. I'm a database analyst. I earn a good living, but I'd take 1/2 the pay to do biology fieldwork.

I grew up in Boulder and didn't turn out too bad.

I just bought the kindle edition. Looks like a GREAT book.

You can see the wilderness boundary using the Colorado hunting atlas. There is a button on the far right labeled "FS_MVUM." Click it, and then check the box next to Motor Vehicle Use Map. ...

What sights did you order? My Wolf came with scope rings. So, I need to get some open sights to hunt here in Colorado.

The unit 35 tag is for deer and covers unit 45 so I can hunt both species.

I'll be hunting elk for the first time with a muzzleloader this fall. I'll be hunting in Colorado, so I have to use full-bore sized bullets and open sights. I am trying to decide which bullets use....

Thanks, Guys. I put in for EM044O1M and DM035O1M. I'm planning on hunting the Holy Cross wilderness in unit 45. Maybe Grouse Mtn. Maybe up high in the cross creek drainage. I am excited to...

Thanks! I'm glad to hear there are deer up there. I was pretty sure there would be a ton of hikers. That is right about the time the aspen start to turn, and everybody heads up to independence...

I'm going to get a CVA Wolf for hunting in Colorado. Let me know what sights you decide on. Too bad it doesn't come with open sights. Seems like most of the good CVA guns don't. Unless I'm...

Hi,

I am a Colorado resident. I've done a lot of backpacking. Now I'd like to do some armed backpacking and hopefully bag a mule deer or elk. I have never hunted before. I have no preference...

I've backpacked in to Conundrum hot springs three times (but all before labor day). It is a gorgeous hike and the hot springs are definitely nice. You should know there will be a lot of non hunters...

Hi Elkhunter,

What do you apply for as non resident in Utah?

I'm a Colorado resident too. So, I have plenty of opportunities to hunt deer and elk here at home. I have been considering putting...

Do they own land near powderhorn, or are you hunting public land in unit 66? Sure like the looks of that unit. Pretty part of the state.
