    Will Colorado ever do this?

    They did this when the deer population started to improve after they went to a total draw for deer. It is nice that you can do this if you hunt in a area that is bordered by another unit that you put in for. If you look you will see that there still are a number of units that you can only hunt...

    Wills

    One thing that I have seen where one child gets most of what you have and you depend on them distributing it to others is DON'T DO IT. Spell out in the will what each is to receive or there can be major fights and problems. I have seen this happen a couple of times and it split the family...

    A will can be as simple as I XXXXXXX give all my wordily possessions to XXXXXXX. Or if you want to get really involved and spread it around some giving a little to a number of people. It comes down to the fact that it doesn't need to be complicated. The big thing is that it needs to be...

    Wolf Program Truths by Ex CPW Chair

    I haven't heard exact from where but in the plan I read that it will be from northern states that already have a population of them. So I'm guessing Montana, Idaho, and perhaps Wyoming. There was no mention of getting any from Canada. I just did a search and here is a article on them...

    Wolf Program Truths by Ex CPW Chair

    One thing that gets me is that the introduction area includes units where the elk herd is already on a large downtrend. I took a drive the other day and in areas that you should see 100+ elk wintering there are less than 50. And we are going to put wolves into this area.

    The big problem is the Biden actually believes what he is telling others.

    CPW Destroying Poacher's Guns

    I caught the tail end of it tonight and it was around $10k worth of equipment, bows, rifles, shotguns, and pistols. On law enforcement selling the items, I know that Utah did do it and am pretty sure that they still do. I've heard of stories of folks that had one confiscated going to the...

    CPW Destroying Poacher's Guns

    I have always said that if the firearm is in unaltered working condition they should be sold, but with the new direction that Colorado is going destroying them is par for the course.

    Anyone bake pies?

    Our family's big pie day is Thanksgiving. At that time there may be no less than 10 different pies sitting on the counter waiting for the after dinner desert. Then there is a tradition that my sisters family started. They have a dozen different holidays that they celebrate throughout the...

    For great crust use lard instead of shortning.

    AZ Javelina Double

    If a person hasn't hunted a javelina down in Arizona using a spot and stalk method they haven't had any fun yet. Not to mention that for us in cold climates heading down there in January or February is a great way to warm up. Not to mention you can then start to build points for other...

    AZ Javelina Double

    Great going, you can't beat doubling up like that. Arizona decided that they didn't want my money this year for a HAM's tag so I'll have to live through others success

    Broken Stuff

    I have learned that it is a experience the every home owner has, if it isn't broken now just wait a while. This past June when I got home from Africa at 1am I wanted a nice hot shower. Come to find out my water heater had gone out after only a year. The next morning I tried to relight the...

    Elk hunting question

    If it is a rifle tag I would consider the end of August or first of September. At that time you will have archery hunters in the area that you can even talk to about what they are seeing which can be a big help for a first time elk hunter. Where are you looking to put in for and what state...

    January cow elk

    In over 50 years of hunting the worst eating animal that I have ever shot was a cow elk, I would of been better off boiling the boots that I was wearing and making soup out of them. As you say, you never know until it hits the table.

    Nosler Rifle Model 21

    Or even a 300 Win mag. But I'd even look hard at a 7mm Rem mag. When I was shooting my 7mm it reached out and killed everything that I shot it at.

    Colorado Division of Wildlife and Parks

    They should of stayed separate in my mind. I can't remember but it seamed like the parks were loosing money when they merged.
