    Lithium

    I was drinking my morning coffee and watching the news on CNN when they did a segment on the new Lithium deposits in the geothermal area at the southeast part of the Salto Sea i California. In the 50's my Dad and some of his hunting buddies bought 160 acres for a duck hunting club right in...

    How to Keep Safe While Hunting

    The guy is an "internet marketer". This is what he posted in his "About" area. As far as I am concerned this is just a way to get around our Spam rules. I'll be watching him closely.

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    I feel like I got my Get Out Of Jail card today! My knee surgeon says I can start bending my knee to 90 degrees and don't have to wear the brace while sleeping at night. More aggressive PT with the goal of removing brace totally in a couple of weeks. My Surgeon was really pleased with my...

    It's May, but feels like August!

    The first time I was at Powell was in 1972 when the lake was filling. It was raising a foot a day then too.

    It's May, but feels like August!

    Yep lots of snow still up in the La Platas. I have not run my sprinklers either. Just turned them on and adjusted them as needed. The Dolores River is running at almost 5000 cu ft. This week we lost a rafter too. Lake McPhee is full and the Dolores down river is roaring.

    It's May, but feels like August!

    For the last 2 to 3 weeks it has rained every afternoon. Feels like August and Monsoon season. This afternoon it clouded up (after a beautiful sunny morning), lightning, thunder, hail and rain. We got over 1/2" and it's still raining. My place looks like a jungle with the weeds taking over. I...

    Sad Duty Today

    Getting ready to leave for a funeral this morning. It is for a friend and Masonic Brother who I have hunted with for years. I have to give the eulogy as requested by his wife....something that will be hard to do. Saying good bye is hard enough, hope I can get thru this without any mistakes in...

    Bear & Bullet Proof Trailer

    $100 K with the bulletproof option...... They need to have an option of camo paint and free transportation to and from Ukraine. What a useless piece of crap for a billionaire who wants to go camping and "experience" the out of doors!

    What do you think you'll draw 2023

    Maybe a buck antelope (Hybrid draw) here in Colorado. It is the only tag I applied for. Point for everything else here in Colorado and will put in for points in Wyoming too. After the replacement knee situation and after 2 surgeries and a long PT schedule, I figured an antelope hunt would be...

    Point banking revisited..

    I really don't have an opinion on what should be done to lower the number of hunters with high point totals. I have 12 for elk and expect to use mine next year. I usually use my deer points when they get to 5 or 6 , the usual number necessary to draw the unit I usually hunt. What really...

    Wolves

    Thanks for posting this, everyone should read it. It is not talked about much, but the Utes do not need a state hunting license or tags and do not have abide by CPW rule is the areas mentioned. What a lot of people don't realize this applies to private land in this area too.
