    Which rifle would you choise

    We will be hunting 16c in New Mexico. I haven't been able to find out anything about the unit. New Mexico game warden won't answer or return my calls. A Colorado resident hunter I met in the Colorado archery season told me I would be hunting the flats at the end of December. I have no idea...

    New Mexico Youth Elk Hunt

    This time I need help. I think my grandson can get a youth tag for New Mexico oct 10-14 in units 16c, 16e 23 24 or 34. I am considering unit 34 but I have never been there and we will not have a chance to scout. Which unit would you think is our best choice? Thanks

    Could not pull the trigger on the high cost of tags

    I was applying for antelope with 1 pp and cow elk with 4pp and mule deer no points. When the total at check out was $1212. I thought enough is enough so I never pulled the trigger. This don't mean I won't buy an archery elk tag for my home unit but I may not do that either. I wanted a cow tag...

    Thanks Leupold

    Leupold sent me a new RX1200i TBR DNA. Just getting familiar with it and so far it is just dandy. I ranged a hay bale at 719yds and it was quick. I also have a VX7 riflescope that is a fine piece. Thanks Leupold

    Typical Colorado

    We had our worst season this year. The bulls were bugling in our area, I could hear them from my front porch. It is a half mile to the top of the mountain an a hard climb, this was probably my last time to climb to where the bulls were bugling. Five guys hunting and two cows tagged, lots of...

    Zen Ray Warranty

    Is it just me? I sent my Zen Ray 10x43 binos in for repair over 60 days ago. Sept 8 an answer to an e-mail said they would be repaired the following week. I will need them for the upcoming gun season. Hard to recommend Zen Ray at this point. Something told me it would be like this so I...

    Nebraska sheep lottery... I won!!!

    Congratulations, I have some pictures of some of the rams you will likely hunt. Lon Lemmon lives east of Ft Robinson and has guided a hunt resulting in a major trophy. He was with me when some of the pictures were made. Nebraska probably assigns guides from a list, either way you had a lucky...

    Exploring North Central New Mexico and South Central Colorado

    A little pre-scouting in unit 81 Colorado and unit 52 in New Mexico at the end of the month. I will be looking for good bulls, good bucks, and big bear. Maybe get in some coyote hunting in Colorado. This is not a substitute for hunting but exploring is fun just the same. Maybe get some...

    unit 67 third rifle Colorado

    I killed a 180 in 3rd season 2012 with a nine point draw. I would love to hunt it again, I know I could do better but mine was close of first day. I had scouted 3 times and seen 5 deer that I would shoot. Reliable hunter gave me location of 200, I found my own 190 the evening before season...

    220 Palmated sheds

    We found one side of a 220 Palmated mule deer and hunted the other one. We walked down hill about one quarter mile then decided to go back and find the other side. We did find the other one and both had landed in a shade so they are not bleached. I can draw a tag for the unit so as my friend...
