    Finally Measured My Antelope

    I took this antelope in 1990. I only had the Taxidermist put it on a wall plaque. He told me at the time, that is a pretty good one, you should mount it. I said I'm waiting until I get a "big" one. Years later, I took the wall plaque with me on a antelope hunt and took it in to him with one I...

    Secondary Draw

    Went over all the tags available in the Secondary Draw and the only thing I saw that wanted was a buck deer tag. The unit I applied for a tag in has 7 left. Probably no chance, but you can't get one of them without applying.

    Colorado's new 6.5% tax on guns, ammo & gun related parts.

    Anyone shopped where the new 6.5% tax is applied? Heard some retailers are charging it on hunting equipment (eg. clothing, binos. etc), it's only supposed to be charged for purchase of guns, ammo, and gun parts in my understanding.

    In the 25 years I have lived in SW Colorado almost all of the geese I see are Canada's and a few Cacklers. I see a few specs and snows, but usually on a cold year when they migrate early thru here. Yesterday I saw a single Ross in with a bunch of Honkers. I know it was a Ross by it's small...
