    Group Applications??

    Here's a chart I made up on how states handle group applications. It is part of a big chart I did in 2016 for an EHJ article called, "Understanding the Draw." You'll have to zoom in to see it well since I can't get it to show any bigger.

    Archery Antelope SE CO

    I'm thinking seriously of trying my hand at archery antelope in southeast CO next month. Anybody got any intel to share on units 85, 130, 133, 140 or 142? I may hunt the Comanche National Grassland or private land. You can send me a PM. Thanks.

    Yellowstone.

    My wife and I actually saw grizzlies on two consecutive days while we were there a couple years ago. One was 150 yards from the road and a line of cars had stopped. Several people were standing by their cars taking pictures of a sow and two cubs. Not smart. The other grizzly was a big boar that...

    Why Cell Phones are Addictive

    Last night 60 Minutes had a former Google programmer on to talk about how software developers intentionally build in things to make apps on cell phones and other mobile devices addicting. See it here http://www.cbsnews.com/60-minutes/full-episodes/ FB, Instagram and other apps in effect...

    2017 Elk Hunting Partner

    I'm looking to hunt 1st or 4th season elk in Colorado this fall, but at this point I'm solo, which is far from ideal with elk. I don't have any CO elk points but both areas I'm looking at have been better than 65% odds with 0 points and have fewer hunters than the OTC seasons. I'm a dedicated...

    Last Ditch Option on Inaccurate Rifle

    Quite a few years ago I bought a used Savage 110 in .30/06 for cheap. I think Savage rifles are really accurate out of the box and if I was buying a new rifle, that's the brand I'd buy, but this used gun was very inaccurate from the first time I shot it. I don't know if it's worn out or if it...

    Reintroducing Wolves to Colorado

    Here's an article http://www.aspendailynews.com/section/home/173537 about a public educational presentation to get people to lobby for the reintroduction of wolves in Colorado and spread the word. The logic is...well, read it for yourselves.

    I just bought a CVA Accura v2 muzzleloader with the Bergara nitride barrel and am thinking about putting on a better sight than the standard post. I saw a Lyman globe sight with a Lee Shaver crosshair insert...

    Peace on Earth...

    “Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men on whom his favor rests.” Those were the words the multitude of angels spoke to the shepherds – heaven’s first public words at the birth of Jesus. Though modern Christmas is a lot about family and gifts, at its core, Christmas is about reconciliation. This...

    Holidays, Families & Funerals

    It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and while a lot of people are on the road going to see family, I am on my way to a funeral. It’s for one of the finest, faith-filled men I ever knew, a man in his early 40s that leaves behind six children and a stunned wife. He had a body-builder’s physique but...

    Help - no truck

    I drove my truck out from NC to hunt antelope near Thermopolis and yesterday, the first day, my timing belt broke and ruined my engine. It will take a few days to get a new one and I am sitting in my motel instead of hunting. Does anyone know someone near here that might let me borrow or rent a...

    SIG Oscar 3

    I've been toying with the idea of getting 15x binos but they're too shaky apart from a tripod so I'd have to carry two binos, one of which would be pretty heavy and so I thought I'd just stick with my Dialyt spotter. So when I read Dan Turvey's E-News review earlier this week on the new SIG...
