    Turning In Tags

    Wanted to get the crowds experience/comment on this. When we turn in a tag now in CO it has to be I believe 30 days prior to the hunt starting. If you meet thst deadline ypu get your points back. That tag then goes on that weekly list that is put out and opens up each week at a certain time...

    1st Fishing Trip Pics

    Caught a few rainbows while targeting the ice out lake trout. Water was still a few degrees cold. Twin Lakes still had 7/8 ice coverage. Pics of Mt Princeton from the road driving into Buena Vista, mountains around the lake and a herd of 82 some odd mule deer. GMU 48,49,481,56,57 all were very...

    1st Gobbles This Am In Colorado

    Heard em but didn't want to press on them. This snow will help ID where they are scratching and eating. Not seeing any hens yet just Toms in small groups moving a lot in what I'm calling the searching phase or "its 8pm and the dance closes at midnight phase" Gotta find me a woman.

    National Forest Honey Hole All Messed Up

    Well I knew it would happen eventually. April 8th is our opener here so I hiked in to set a couple trail cams for turkey movement. I got 3/4 way up the ridge and started seeing surveying tape and trees spray painted. As I crested it all made sense. Fire mitigation. Oh well. All the roost...

    K.i.s.s.

    In this day and age of the interweb and tons of info out there to pour through....."executing the basics to perfection" is a phrase I use at work with the men......and how I have taught my son and other newbies who go into the woods with me. Keep It Simple Stupid holds true even more so today I...

    2016 Elk Leftover Analysis

    Team EF, In prep for the draw and app period I thought I'd share a drill I go through each spring while waiting for turkey to open up. This may help guys who dont draw their primary tag and are looking for a solid secondary plan. Scene Setter / Mentality 1) Yes I'm a resident. I moved here...

    California water levels this year?

    Saw this today in the International New York Times. Is this year one of the greenest ever or is it spotty? I lived in Lemoore a few years and was just wondering.

    First Lite Kanab 2.0

    Im looking to purchase a pair of these to wear for work. I'm a Kuiu guy and have hunted exclusively, all seasons here in Colorado in Attack pants. It would appear from reading the Kanab's have less of a athletic cut than the Attack pants. Do they have the same stretch as the Attacks? Would...

    4th Season Elk x 2

    Day 2 of the 4th season saw a storm blowing through that dumped a solid 6-9" and blew like a Nor Easter. We hunted in it until crying uncle and headed back to camp only to find out my son dropped a cow early am. After some coffee and game planning we went back in to retrieve the second load of...

    Whitetail Genetics in/near Vinton Ohio ?

    EF, Anyone have any idea what the deer health / genetic makeup of the area holds? Of course there is always some sleepers everywhere. Just trying to get an overall feel if this is just an average county in Ohio. Thanks

    I'm heading back to camp in 48 hours to glass for 4-5 days before the opener. Son has a tag this year. Will post a daily report of what I'm seeing to try and help out inbound hunters on overall feel of the animals and their activities. Of note: Initial reports I'm getting are bulls are...

    Multiple Tag Colorado Hunts

    This topic comes up a lot so I thought I'd offer my perspective after just trying to complete the "family's" self generated archery Slam competition. In the end it didn't work and I wouldn't use my deer points again like this. Stage setter: 12 Days to tag an elk, muley, bear / Sept 13 to 25th...

    NW Colorado Archery Elk Report

    The morning started on 16 Sept with high expectations. I honestly didn't think we would get it done on day one though. We talked about our game plan for the past few weeks and how we would tackle the full moon. My son and I agreed we needed to be roughly 1.7 miles in an hour before light was...
