I'm sorry, I meant of the locally produced oil, we ship more of it overseas than we consume. (edit here: I did say crude, and I was wrong, I meant refined.)

The US is the 9th largest oil exporter...

I'm going to get crushed for this...

Obama doesn't want to touch gun control on a national level. Anything from the NRA saying otherwise is pure propoganda.
...

I think someone missed my point. I grew up hunting in NY, no orange required and one of the lowest injury states out there. I wear orange now because it is required by the state, not because I love...

Now, let's all pretend we're deer hunting in a subpar unit on the front range of Colorado. The 4x4 road is unfortunately still open. You see a half dozen people in orange (other hunters), but what is...

Colorado doesn't really have a "general season" for anything. For elk, there are 6 or 7 different seasons and your tag is only good in that particular season. Archery, Muzzleloader, First Rifle,...

Everything I shoot runs for a bit. Everything my wife shoots falls in its tracks.

Wish I could figure out what makes the difference as we're both shooting .270s!

If he's talking second rifle season in Colorado, it is happening right now. Third rifle is in early November.

They are both Toyota RAV4s, 2006+ model (big difference from older versions).

I certainly can't get into many of the places you guys are driving, I use my feet for rough road. :D

A double reversal on your fat trucks! :D

30 MPGs even with the cartop carrier. Can fit more crud than I can use, but we don't use quads either.

Elk, Mule Deer and Pronghorn hunts in CO this year. We've seen illegal OHV use on every single one of them. Hard to call the game warden when you are out of cell range though.

Hunted Winiger Ridge. Tough weekend. Saw three bucks at opening light at 800 yards. Got to 600 yards and someone else shot the lead buck. The other two just stood there. Got to 400 yards before the...

Nope, he had ~14 inch horns. Green scored 72 6/8 ... if you trust our noobie scoring skills. :D

I'm no pro on the subject, this was my first pronghorn mount. I kept the sheaths out of the water while doing a low boil and after a couple hours they pulled off with a very hard tug.

Colorado has both limited licenses and OTC licenses.

Indeed, even without an income tax, WYoming has been running on a budget surplus. Make no mistake about it, raising the price of tags is NOT directly to pay for conservation.

Just finished a mount of my wife's buck. I have never seen a wall hanging Pronghorn Euro mount that "looked right" to me. There are some desk sitting ones that look good, but because their horns...

You will probably have an amazing time. Depending upon where you are headed, the rut hadn't even started by the end of archery season!

You want to do it solo and in a canyon but you don't want to bone it out? :confused: You can still hang meat bags in a locker.

Shoot a small one?

It definitely felt like it ended a week early to me. The start date doesn't really change though, it always starts on the last weekend in August, which just happened to be as early as possible this...

I hunted / called for 15 days of the CO archery season. Only 5 days of those 15 did I hear bugles, and only one day did I hear a bugle from more than one bull.

This bull in the video was the one I...

Feel free to send me all Havalon knives you are giving up. I'll even pay for shipping. :D

I used the Havalon knife on my bull elk this year. My wife and father also got to try it. Wow, so awesome for skinning and cleaning up meat. Just like OH said though, do NOT twist the knife, you'll...

If you're using a water bottle, wrap it around the bottle.

It is completely location dependent. I had the exact opposite experience as llp, with the same exact weather. Rain showers on Sat and Sun but never heard a bugle.

OH, I don't see this cold front...

I disagree with Doe Nob. You've got to live your life while you can LIVE it. I wouldn't skip going to college, but those Alaska schools will be just as good as any down here in the lower 48. Unless...
