    Wolf Program Truths by Ex CPW Chair

    If you listen to any of the CPW Wildlife Commission meetings, you will find out that there are quite a few of the Commissioners that know nothing about wildlife, hunting, fishing or wildlife management. They are political appointees and bring nothing to the table but ignorance and politics. No...

    Anyone bake pies?

    My mother used to make a rhubarb pie that was to die for. It's sweet/sour flavor would wake up my taste buds. She passed in 2008 and when we got her recipe book, sadly it was not there. My wife tried to duplicate it for years, to no avail! My wife makes what she calls Lemon Philly Pie. It was...

    Elk hunting question

    What Jim said. Scouting early in the summer, the elk will be in their summer range and they will usually move as fall approaches. Also archery hunters can push them into private and deeper timber, harder accessibility areas. The areas you found them earlier, could be vacated by the elk.

    January cow elk

    Years ago I shot a small 3 point blacktail deer in southern California that was tougher than any meat I've ever eaten. I ended up making burger out of it. The backstraps were even hard to cut. It had a lot of fat too. Just never know.

    Official Post Padding Thread

    The same thing happened to AKaviator. He just got tired of some of the BS. I talk to him a lot. He has a place in eastern Oregon that he has been spending the winters at. He got a stud mule deer and whitetail this last year.

    Leupold Firedot Twil;ight Hunter Illuminated Reticle

    I have 2 of the 4.5 x 14 VXlll's with dot reticles that are absolutely great. This new reticle really intrigues me, especially for low light like early/late in the day.

    Colorado Division of Wildlife and Parks

    My neighbor is a retired Parks & Wildlife Officer. He was head ranger for several state parks here in sw Colorado when the merger happened. I volunteered for Lone Mesa State Park for 7 or 8 years. You guys are right about Parks needing money. Classic example is Lone Mesa SP. It was a 15,000 acre...

    Nosler Rifle Model 21

    I have a friend that is going to buy a new rifle for antelope, deer & elk. He likes the Nosler 21 and I don't know much about them. I looked online at Nosler's page and the rifle looks pretty nice. I also suggested 6.5 Creedmore for his caliber. He has plenty of $$$, so price is really not a...

    WYOMING 90/10 UPDATE | The best blog you'll read all year! - by Guy Eastman

    I sure don't agree with your opinion for here in the sw part of Colo. I have seen more really good, mature bucks in our wintering area then I have in several years. My take is leave the season structure alone and adjust the unit tags issued when there is a mature buck population problem. These...

    SW Colorado weather

    Looks like we are in for a banner year for moisture. I got a report a couple of days ago the Dolores River drainage has 130% of normal snow and moisture. At the lower elevations where I live (6750"), we had about 6" on the ground after about 2 or 3" had melted. Last night it started snowing and...

    January cow elk

    The first time I shot a late season cow elk (late January) many years ago, it kinda spooked me a little. When I was gutting it and a partially developed fetus came out, I was a little bummed. Since then I have taken a couple more and knew what to expect.

    WYOMING 90/10 UPDATE | The best blog you'll read all year! - by Guy Eastman

    I noticed that about 10 years ago. I was trying to draw a deer tag in a unit that was taking about 14/15 points to draw a buck deer tag in the regular draw. I watched it for a couple of years while being unsuccessful in the draw on the regular tag and the special was getting drawn with several...

    Colorado Parks and Wildlife App

    I have to make sure I opt out as I have a lifetime senior Parks Pass. I bought it many years ago just before they decided to drop the lifetime senior pass.
