I did not end up going with the williams. My hunting buddy did and he thought it was ok, but in low light he didnt like it at all. Hard to see.

Very true! No smoke out there! Kind of funny actually, dryer than a popcorn fart in Wisconsin and Wyoming can barely keep its head above water they've had so much dang rain.....

Well we are back! Going to need some time to dry everything out however. It rained off and on everyday, mother nature even graced us with a few inches of snow, some sleet and even hail as well. We did catch fish, however most of the streams were pretty much white water rafting worthy. We had a...

We drew 15, it is an either tag so i really like that option since we have never stepped foot in the area before.

Ended up drawing Muzz elk tag. First time ever heading to Colorado to hunt! We're pretty pumped!

Drew an add on bear tag yesterday, which doesnt mean much if we dont draw the elk tag that we were adding it onto. So that might suck if we dont draw elk. Have to cancel the bear tag hopefully and wait months for reimbursement :)

What is the best way to check results for Colorado? I just logged into my account and it all looks the same so far. Or do you get an email with Colorado? Just curious as we havent put in for a kill tag yet in there and unsure of their release process. Thanks. Luke

Thanks for the tip on the red and white color scheme! Going to be making a couple trips to fleet farm prior to the trip to ensure we have a small stockpile of different options. Hoping for good weather and safe travels as well as hoping for the fish to cooperate. Getting excited

Yeah that is the exact area i was planning to go as well! From there and then north of there and west of Big Horn. Not going to bring fly fishing gear, leaning towards ultra lights and small spinners.

What is colorado currently at for res vs non res tag allocation?

Starting to plan a summer getaway for my son and i and wondering if anyone has any info or knowledge on trout fishing in the Big Horns? Ive deer and elk hunted out there a couple times and just love the area. Seems there are plenty of creeks and streams and even lakes to try but as usual any...

Yeah Williams has a pretty slick looking peep sight optic setup. Probably going to go that route. Well thanks for all of the input fellas! Looks my initial thoughts weren't terribly far off, probably going to start in that 110 grain area and also try 100 grain of powder. Then probably around...

Any thoughts or suggestions on a 50 cal round for elk? Have shot alot of deer in Wisconsin with the muzzleloader but never an elk. Typically shoot about 110 grains of powder and a saboted down bullet. But need to figure out a 50 cal round for Colorado and not sure on just how big i need to go...

Yeah, we decided against that area, didnt want to chance it. Thanks for all of the input tho guys!

Yeah i did call them yesterday and they actually said even tho the fire was two years ago the re growth was not very good and to stay out for a few more years. I find that very hard to believe!
