    Does anyone still hunt turkeys?

    I drove around some over the weekend and found tons of turkeys. Flock after Flock, all on private property

    Colorado's Proposed Firearm Laws

    For those of you who come to hunt Colorado here are a few laws that are proposed and are working their way through the legislature as I type this. They are: Liability insurance for your firearm Credit Card tracking on firearm and ammo purchases. Safe Storage of your firearm when in...

    CO Excise Tax Bill Guns & Ammo Purchases

    I'll just have to increase my cash supply. I learned that a couple of years ago when I was going to purchase a used trailer. I found just what I wanted at a very good price, but with not enough cash on hand I was out of luck. Since then I have made sure to have that extra cash on hand.

    CO Excise Tax Bill Guns & Ammo Purchases

    It isn't going to stop until the liberals are voted out of office, and for Colorado that isn't going to happen in the near or even the distant future from what I can see. The Denver/Boulder metro area can out vote the whole rest of the state and as long as the liberals control both legislature...

    Wolf Kills Calf in Grand County

    Another report of a calf killed in Jackson County, but the CPW is trying to figure out if it was a Colorado wolf or a Wyoming wolf that did the dirty deed. Now they are talking about hiring "range riders" to keep the wolves away from livestock. Too bad I'm not 40 years younger and still...

    Help me decide what to do with 30 Utah elk points!

    The nice thing in Utah is that they didn't take away any of the better components that you can use.

    Help me decide what to do with 30 Utah elk points!

    No experience with them but I like Leopold scopes. Vortex has a 1x red dot prism scope that would be legal but I have zero experience with it. My eyes are not the best either. I plan on placing a peep sight on the rear of my Utah muzzle loader that used to wear a scope along with a new front...

    Help me decide what to do with 30 Utah elk points!

    I've heard that from a couple of sources, it is too bad that they most likely will still be the 24mm objective instead of stepping it up to a 32mm objective for a little bit more light.

    Knives

    Check out Chicago Cutry, but I like to hold a knife in my hand before I buy it https://www.chicagocutlery.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwn7mwBhCiARIsAGoxjaI95Z3tRX04imhkMxsEpJahQDpLKTv-1fFeArLFNlJzRLhkoJXaBdIaApHeEALw_wcB

    Knives

    I've processed elk with no more than a large butcher knife that we used every day in the kitchen. But when I grew up I got a fantastic set of Gerber kitchen knifes. They hold a edge and fit my hands. The large butcher knife makes quick work of a boneless backstrap. For getting around the...

    If you can find one Utah still allows 1x scopes or 1x red dot prism scopes

    2024 Hunts

    I know some hunters who draw a cow elk tag only to shoot a calf. They say that they are a lot easier to pack out and the eating can't be beat.

    2024 Hunts

    That's when you pass the bigger bucks and shoot a fork horn.. I'm just collecting points. I doubt that I'll draw my muzzle loader deer tag for either unit. Points for elk and antelope.

    Utah Applications are Open

    For me it is a toss up between bison and moose for the top spot in just about all wild game here in North America.

    Help me decide what to do with 30 Utah elk points!

    Have you looked at the points required for the units on the Utah statistics page/report? Personally with the heavy cover I would rule out the Boulder unless you have lots of time to scout it. That mountain is covered in lots of very thick cover. Manti would be a fun hunt for both of you...

    Hunting near Salt Lake

    For deer that's a yes, does he archery hunt? He should also get a LE deer and elk point along with a once in a lifetime point. Is he a resident now? If so he can put in for: LE deer or LE elk but not both. 1 OIL animal. If he is still a non resident he can put in for everything. LE deer LE...
