I just got an email in response to my query to Colorado Parks & Wildlife about when the pref pt pages for 2013 would be updated. The answer was mid March. I'm not too happy and am going to call tomorrow and see if there is any reason for them taking so long.

Last summer my wife and I spent a week in Chama N.M. and did a little fishing. She caught this Brown that weighed about #3. I took all the measurements and we released it. I got her a mount of it as it was the first brown she ever caught. Gave it to her today for Christmas, needless to say she...

Looks I am going to try something a little different next year. One option on my list is a guided M/L elk hunt in unit 54 in the West Elk Wilderness area. The outfitter I am looking at is Tenderfoot Outfitters. One of my friends did a summer fishing trip with them and was very complimentary of...

I saw an interesting article in the Denver Post today...online version. According to Parks and Wildlife the license sales for 2013 were up. The total licenses/tags sold was 489,327 (includes small game) with 86,493 being non residents, up 4% over 2012. That generated 45.6 million dollars ( 38...

Just saw 3 bucks in my pasture sparring back and forth. one 3x4 and 2 forkies. Necks all swelled up and looking very sleek and fit. Usually starts around Thanksgiving, weather cold and rainy for the last 3 days. Expect to see some bigger boys too. I'll try and get a few pictures.

I just started practicing for our Winter Indoor Bulls Eye Pistol League. Had hand surgery 5 weeks ago and verything healed up pretty good. We had formal practice yesterday and we qualify next Wednesday evening. We shoot both rimfire and centerfire pistols at 50'. I was very surprised with my...

My wife and I were out to breakfast this morning (happens to be last day of 4th season) and saw a friend who owns a taxidermy and meat processing business. He told me that this year was the worst year he has had since opening his business 20 years ago. The bucks and bulls were smaller than...

Got double post somehow!

The Colorado Game Commission meets today. On their agenda is a recommendation to ban the use of small drones for scouting game. Seems like the explosion of availability of small drones and the small cameras has caught their attention. Also on the agenda is raising the price of non resident cow...

I am really fuming! On another website I frequent (not hunting, just shooting) I saw a post that really ticked me off. Let me quote what the writer said in part: "Seems some of the locals had some extra time on their hands during Labor day and started to hunt a bit early. I gues (sic) they...

During a recent backcountry hunting trip, my cousin's boots literally fell apart! They are Red Head boots and only a few years old....according to him! He had no spares and we tried several things to do a repair job on them. We even melted pitch to try and re-glue the soles. On both boots, the...

Looks like it was a pretty good 1st season here in the SW part of the state. I know quite a few hunters who got their elk, deer and bear. I personally attribute it to the snow on opening weekend. I also saw lots of hunters leaving with elk racks in their rigs. From what I've heard, lots of bears...

I was by a local business last week (Adobe Milling, Dove Creek, Co) and took some pictures of a really nice buck that is on the wall there. It was shot in 4th season just north of there. The lady who shot it was very proud of it and I can see why. She said there was another buck with it that she...

Got back late last night from my hunt in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in D7. Hunting was really tough to put it mildly. Opening day was cool and clouded up with 3+" of rain, hail and snow Sat night. Rest of the week was clear and lots of wind and some more snow on the way out on Thursday. The...

The election to recall 2 elected members of the state legislature over their pro gun control vote earlier this year is today. I sure hope both of them are sent home. They are not in my area so I can't vote, but a big turnout is expected. Lots of out of state $$$ has been spent, especially by...

I was in my local Walmart yesterday shopping for a few items for my hunting trip later this month. I always go by the sporing goods section to see what they might have thats new. Especially in the fall before hunting season, they have a lot of new items, I even saw some new compound bows and...

I sure hope they can get a handle on this fire and get it out ....SOON! In 3 weeks I am returning to California for our annual wilderness deer hunt. We have had fires near us before and the smoke is miserable and makes hunting tough. My family has gone to the same camp since 1946 in the Ansel...

I was really glad to see the story in this issue of EHJ about Brittney Black's Desert Bighorn Sheep from here in SW Colorado. I see lots of familiar landmarks in the photos and what a ram! This is the tag that I have been trying to get for years, hope one day to get lucky before I get too old...

Colorado Parks & Wildlife has posted the leftover tags. They officially go on sale Aug 6. I was going to get a 4th season cow tag, but none left in the unit I want.:(
