I have never been on a guided elk hunt here in Colorado. I have 12 points and I am looking for suggestions from Forum members who have actually been with the outfitter they are suggesting. I don't think I can do anymore wilderness hunts as my 83 year old body is wearing out! I have been on...

Packing the last food and getting ready to leaving early tomorrow morning. 3rd season opens Saturday and me and my hunting partner each have an elk tag and I have a deer tag too.

For the last 2 days the hunters are here! 2nd season open Saturday and I have seen lots of hunters in town. Was in Big R yesterday afternoon and they were lined up getting their OTC Bull Elk tags. Weather is going to be really nice....clear shies, no wind and cool at night. Lots of new snow in...

Look on page 20 and the "Out Among Um" feature. Picture on the lower right is our own Disabled Combat Vet Scott Slining with his elk he got on his Hunting with Heroes Wyoming hunt. Congratulations buddy......"TEN HUT" salute! Thanks for your service.

This weekend should be great for deer & elk hunters here in SW Colorado. We have snow now at the higher altitudes and rain at lower elevations. I have heard that the elk are starting to move around more now that the hot weather has left. Those that have first season tags should be prepared for...

We are celebrating our 60th Wedding Anniversary this month and I decided to buy my wife something special. A 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend. Of course I'll be driving it too.........LOL. I ordered some new rims which are due in next week.

It is really wonderful to see the posts and pictures of someone's first animal taken, no matter what species. I am really impressed with the last 2 posts, each one a young ladies first Elk and Bear. It gives me hope that we are leaving our sport to some great young hunters who will follow along...

My neighbor with his opening day archery public land 4x3 deer.

Our summer monsoon season is going strong. We had 1/2" of rain at my place last night. Archery hunters better be prepared for wet weather!

We have been getting a lot of rain here in SW Colorado. It has rained every afternoon for the last week. It's a little early for our monsoon season, but who knows. Usually June is our driest month of the year, but not this year. I'll keep everyone posted as it gets closer to archery season.

My son knew I had been eyeing another target .22 pistol. He collects Colts & Smiths and had a pristine S & W K22 Target Masterpiece. I used to have one back in the 50's that I traded for something else (can't remember what LOL). They haven't been made in many years and his was like new. He gave...

Today is a day to remember all our Veterans who gave their lives so we can have and benefit from all the freedoms we have. I especially remember SFC Antonio Osuna, my basic training NCO who taught me what it meant to be in the military and to be a soldier in the US Army. He gave his life in Viet...

Postings start Tuesday, May 28th. Good Luck everyone who applied.

My son has his own trucking business and travels all over the western US. I got a call last week from him about problems with his ankle. (he crushed it in a motorcycle accident 30 years ago). He can't drive, so I left Sunday morning for Minnesota, almost 1400 miles from here in SW Colorado...

Our rifle/pistol club has an outdoor range (one of the largest in SW Colorado) that we want to remove and recycle the lead/copper residue from years of shooting. Do any of you have experience with this? We are looking for a contractor to do the work. I have found lots of them online, but am...

Today is March 1 and you can start applying for big game licenses. I applied for deer, elk & antelope, hope I am lucky. My deer & antelope are 50/50, elk is good.

Talked to Denver today and the 2024 Big Game Hunting Booklet is now being distributed. Should be available next week.

I have a question for all of you about solar power. Our rifle range has no electrical power. We do have an electric gate with a card reader that works of of a solar cell and battery. We want to to put a security system, possibly Wifi and computer hookup and some security lighting. The closest...
