    Co is more friendly to non residents than any other state. Or honest question what other western state chooses to just give non residents 5% of the tags ONLY in the best units and hunts? 🤔 In this day and age 90-10% on the top units and 75-25% on all others would be pretty darn fair to all...

    No worries man = from where I sit 75% of the tags say in 3rd and 4th in 44 is less than the 80% residents got last year. When you have 20 points and 44 drew out last year at just under 50% at 20 points... At 75% he has 0 chance w 20 unless folks drop out. So my man above is a perfect example...

    I’m in there about every year = something to think about is if the cpw takes tags from residents like they say they are going to you likely will have a hard time drawing 4th.. IMO 4 th is worth waiting a year or 2 for. Most of the 1% ers got killed last year w the snow and late dates. Or have...

    They (the commission) still has to approve it but at this point it does look like most likely it is a done deal.

    Eastmans' Hunting Journal - Annual Mule Deer issue

    I guess what I was saying is I feel naming the state is fine but much more than that is one bridge too far.. The rest of my comments are in jest poking fun at a few friends 😆.. One thing is certain and that is the mule deer issue is usually one to look forward to.

    Eastmans' Hunting Journal - Annual Mule Deer issue

    Of the 3 animals (wife got one I got 2) that I was fortunate enough to have printed in Eastmans I put the state but nothing else. No secret I only hunt public land in Colorado. My personal feelings is = even for bucks I have killed - is only the ones killed w a bow on public land count. I also...

    What’s your plans?

    Archery mule deer for me here in Co will take most of my time. By the time I scout 25 ish days and hunt not much time left in the fall. Starting to wonder if I will be able to find a deer to hunt as a 1% is getting to be more like one in 200-250 bucks. I find about 300 give or take scouting so...

    Expo 2023

    Yea it is getting more rare to see real big bucks coming off public land. Most you see are either guided or off private. With that said there will always be a few that make it on public. These 2 pics were from early December this year and both bucks are public land bucks or they are out there...

    Yea what the deer tags went for 😳. It was not only the anteloper island tag.. The show is a good time I was able to talk w and meet most of the Eastmans crew as well as a bunch of other old friends, new friends, and mulie fanatics. Honestly I did not know this many hunters even existed.. My...

    Literally every single mule deer hunter I know is seeing a big kill off of the older age class and younger age class in Colorado. Every single one…… Only a idiot or someone w a agenda would see it differently.. CPW continues to be of sh@$z… Like I have said I think it is unrealistic for...
