    Flat Tops were tough this year

    I struck out in Colorado this year. I figured it would happen. The Flat Tops are fun to hunt and LOTS of people agree. Still had a good time though. This trip was my second go around with my new tent (Cabelas Bighorn III) and a new stove. The best part of the trip was having a bull moose "sneak"...

    Colorado Mountain Goat Preference Point Growth

    From a response on a previous post, I have posted some data regarding Colorado Moutain Goat preference point growth since 2003. There has been a significant increase in total point holders and "top end" weighted points as well. Luckily, you dont have to hold the most points to have any chance to...

    Colorada NR Bighorn Point Holder Growth

    This thread is piggybacking off of a previous thread posted about Colorado Moose Point Creep. I pulled the same data for Bighorn point holders by year from Colorado's website. After some confusion, and much needed guidance by Umpqua Hunter, I have posted the summary below. The year column...

    Colorado Moose Point Creep

    Stop the press. I went back to look at the difference between regular and weighted point holders. I've got a problem, the data shows the exact same amount of point holders for both regular and weighted every year. See below. Example 2013 - 1500 and 1500? I double checked the data and it is...

    Colorado Moose Point Creep

    The recent discussions of point creep for trophy species in Wyoming made me start thinking about Colorado on the eve of the application deadline. I compiled the data of preference point holders by year from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website. Looking at the numbers on the table make me feel...

    Tikka T3 Lite Stock

    I've got a Tikka T3 Lite chambered in 300 WSM with a left hand action. I've though about getting an aftermarket stock, but I'm having a hard time finding one that is light weight and LEFT handed. I've found several that are right handed and heavy, but not what I'm looking for. Any info would be...

    NR Wyoming Moose and Sheep Draw/Creep Analysis

    I response to another thread discussing moose point creep, I figured it would be a good idea to do some number crunching. I looked at the amount of applicants with points from the WDGF website and the number of tags available from the MRS and figured (VERY Roughly), approximate amount of years...

    Arkansas Hillbilly Elk

    The herd isnt really big, but doing well. RMEF and the AGFC have worked hard to get it to where it is. Below are some nice photos. For those interested, I've attached a link from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission on their history and reintroduction to Arkansas...

    Boot Leather treatment

    Hey everyone, I wanting to hear what kind of boot leather treatment everybody uses. I'm breaking in some new boots. I've always used Snowseal, but I'm thinking about trying something new. My new boots have a Gore-tex liner, so I don't necessarily need a "waterproofing" treatment. Thanks for the...

    Insoles

    I'd like anyone's opinion in their favorite insoles. I've always been a green Superfeet guy but I'm thinking about trying some Sole if they feel comfortable. I understand that they have three different configurations that are made to take up different boot volumes. Am I correct?
