Many thanks again Jim. Get well. II will check in with you if we end up going.

I did check in with JimP, as he was a great help to me on my previous trip. Unfortunately, Jim has had a recent health issue that he has to deal with. Thank you Winchester for your input...it was just what I was looking for from someone "local".

3 of us drew Colorado area 44 MZL deer tags this year, but I have some concern about the extreme drought over much of central CO, and specifically in Eagle County. There are no fires close, though the Willow Fire by Leadville has some potential to spread. I spent almost two weeks in this unit...

The harvest stats in Colorado have always been of little value. I had looked up the stats for the area that we applied for MZL deer this year, and the "success" rate was based on less than a 1% response. My home state of Minnesota has screwed up a lot of things over the last few decades, but...

Here's the tri-fecta that I have mounted in our home. None are even close to "book", but still are my best. The other photo is the opposite wall. Rooster Cogburn is bracketed by a mt. lion and a black bear. I have one other unique and likely one of a kind critter, but it will take some...

Negative on limited entry cow elk. Not too many years ago, this was an easier draw, and if I could get a tag was one hunt that I would do every year.

I drew the MZL deer tag. Last one for me as I'm exiting the future CO draws.

Jim; I have been spending much of my last year cutting dead trees on my property (after a spruce budworm cycle), and have four different saws that I use. I primarily use the electric saw for limbing the lower branches before felling and bucking with a gas saw. The elec. is lighter and easier...

Nice...keep this up and you'll have to put an addition on your house.

3 of us applied for the NR MZL deer tag. We applied separately, but all have the points to likely draw. As long as we already had to shell out for the "qualifying tag", we also got another elk point. Next year it will be elk in WY. and after that ????

Better yet C.C. - Start with San Francisco.

My wife says that she only married me because she says that I looked like Kurt Russel. Now she says that I am far better than him but without as much money.

There had to be a "Hold my beer, watch this" involved in that story somewhere.

It wasn't stated in the article if a firearm or archery was used to kill the deer. I am sure that there are state laws about possession of a firearm on school property, and a charge relating to that would not be "double jeopardy". It's possible that was part of a plea bargain. Either way, I...

When I was guiding canoe trips, I would be up well before the crew. I put my small titanium pot on the canister stove while I broke down my hammock. It only takes 3 minutes or so to boil, then I put a clip on filter to my cup, and some ground coffee, and slowly pour it through. I have 2 or 3...
