It doesn’t help the guy who has been saving for a high point NW unit, has 20+ elk points, is within reaching distance of a tag, but now the max point holder pp tags get cut in half. I just went from within 3 years of drawing my tag to a minimum of 6, probably longer than that with point creep...

How did the hunt go? I picked up this same tag for ‘23. Probably gonna end up solo. What were the elk numbers like? Were there lots of people in the unit?

It was half a step in the right direction by trying to have the draw after tag quotas are set, but now they will be holding our tag fees for 3 1/2+ months? Three steps back with that brain dead decision. How do they justify holding that much money for that long? Seems like there are alternative...

I spent 8 days in the Gila chasing bugling bulls the whole time and was finally able to seal the deal on this stud.

Nice

Finally pulled a NM Elk tag for the Gila. I probably don't need to but I will state the obvious this is a tag that many put in for and dream of. I feel greatly fortunate for drawing this tag and am excited at the prospect of all the trials, tribulations and excitement that will ensue. I am...

The stars aligned and I pulled out a once in a lifer for the Collegiate Peak Wilderness. I have Mountain Goat hunted this unit before so am somewhat familiar with the terrain, which is rugged. The CPW has some great basic resources online like the horn measurements/ harvest location stats and I...

Tons of pics!

Just swapped cards today. Looks like the elk are there. No bears yet though.

I was at the range the other day a guy was sighting in his new react sight. He asked me what I thought about the technology behind this sight. Basically he was asking how it worked. From what I can find on Trophy Ridge's website it sounds almost too simple to be true. Get your 20/30 yard pins...

Curious if anybody is willing to give any suggestions on an archery mule deer hunt I am planning for next year in the Ruby's. Doing research on the NDOW site and there are a few unit groups that look interesting. I'm not looking into killing a p&y buck but I would like to hunt in the high...

Now that Colorado is allowing the use of lighted nocks I'm definitely gonna give 'em a go. What brand are you guys using and are there good and bad aspects? Thanks in advance

Went out scouting for the upcoming shed season and found a group of 14 bulls. Definitely some good prospects for shed season and the upcoming hunting season. My spotting scope and phone pics don't turn out the greatest, but you get the jist.

Looks like Colorado finally came to their senses and is going to allow lighted nocks and recording devices on bows. Plus a lot more changes. http://cpw.state.co.us/Documents/RulesRegs/Regulations/Ch02.pdf Here is the link to the regulation changes

Just curious what guys are using for lightweight backpacking tents? I'm looking to upgrade from my Eureka Solitaire which is as light as tents get but its just too small for me. There is no chance for a full grown man to sit up in it which makes getting dressed/undressed a chore. I'm looking at...
