Tick, Tick, Tick. I much preferred it when the results were out in Feb. It allowed for other options/applications in other states. But, I have to say that this later drawing makes much more sense from a management perspective. I'm only in for a type 6 (cow/calf) tag. I may get one more GEN...

I've already got one...I was born with it. Unfortunately, it is worn out, and the model was discontinued.

HOLY GAJEEZE!!!! That would sure wake you up and make you spill your coffee in your deer stand.

I have hunted H 5 times as a NR since 2009. Twice guided, and 3x DIY. I saw quite a few bucks, and shot some decent 4x4s, but had decided that I made my last hunt there after the last trip in, mostly due to my age (71), and the increasing impact of competition with other hunters. I spent 6...

Buy one if it makes you feel good, but look for the "Made in China" sticker. I admit to buying some stuff at HF, but now try my best to support products made in the U.S.

I agree with you totally CC....land and home prices are completely nutso everywhere. The affordable RE taxes that you pay will be significantly higher for whoever buys your estate and establishes a new "value". I bought raw land on a lake for $10K in 1989, and built everything myself, but...

Cash is King!

Pronghorn tag in Wyoming...should be a "sure" draw; and points in WY & CO for deer and elk.

I am totally in agreement with CC....though I will likely not be buying any more rifles at this stage of my life. If I were, I would give serious to the 6.5PRC in a Savage 110 Ultralight. I'm not sure if they come with a threaded barrel.

I am far from an expert, but would suggest that you go to a pro shop and shoot a variety of bows. I did that about 15 years ago, and bought the bow that hit the sweet spot for me. The newest and "bestest" is likely the most expensive, and may not turn out to be your best choice.

It's the ones that you don't see that you have to worry about. Catch the news story about a couple brothers who were just attacked by a mt. lion in California. One 21 year old was killed, and the 18 year old escaped after getting mauled in the face.

Unfortunately much of this discussion will become moot with the use of wildlife management via referendum to eliminate hunting.

Not yet anyway.

One of the changes that CO made this year was the allocation of NR tags. The change for bear, elk, deer, and pronghorn are from the previous 65%/35% to only 25% for non-residents. This change can only serve to increase the point creep. Another change that may have some impact but harder to...

Location, location, location. It is generally illegal to transport firewood out of the state or even region due to an attempt to slow "invasive species" spread. It's too late in many cases though well intended.
