Solid buck from the summer to pass the time on another snowy day... Only 6 months until it is time to start backpacking and lookin again. Any one want to put in a guess on score? Great fronts w a lot of character on this guy and just enough length on one kicker to well scratch that itch lol...

Well it is going to be a disastrous winter for the deer in the Gunnison basin this year. Regional biologists say they are expecting a minim 40% and possibly much higher mortality rate for adult female deer at this point and much higher for bucks and younger deer. Never seen anything like...

The only way to get good at estimating score is to look over a bunch of bucks and that velvet can be deceiving so what do you think this buck would score? He is in a highly limited early season unit 5 points to draw just about any of the tags for a resident so would he be a first hour...

Lets say you find this guy 5 min into opening light on a early season hunt - do you think he is a day 1 shooter? Link below to video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K3zNrBOlxM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XdUZAvLtIc It is from last year.. Bucks are showing up lower daily I have not seen much rut activity yet but last night saw a couple of big boys for the first time this year. Will be interesting to see how the late seasons play out.

First season here in Colorado found Kime with a bull tag and I had a cow tag for the same unit. The goal was to hunt a big bull I chased around in archery (330" type) and see if we could get lucky if not fill the freezer. Warm loud and windy was the rule for the weekend and while the bulls...

Its just about my favorite time of the year again and it seems to take until about July 1 for the snow to melt and the animals to get up high. This year the amount of calves is just amazing. I counted 2 groups of cow elk that actually had more calves than cows. Great to see. Also was able to...

Does anyone know where there is a magazine rack that sells the Eastmans Hunting Journal? The wife was just in the elk journal #155 and now her family is wanting to see it but we just have 1 copy. Anyone know where to buy one off the rack or when you are done with yours can anyone send me...

Well my wife was able to take her first bull elk this year. It was a great hunt that we were lucky enough to end up with a amazing experience and a bull that will be a challenge for her to better anytime soon. To top it all off her story was printed in the #155 June/July Elk issue of...

Well it is official ck the link http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/DrawResults_PreferencePoints.aspx I drew a archery elk along with my father. 2nd choice for 1st rifle bull for the wife but my brother drew his muzzy bull tag.. I spoke for a lo muzzy deer tag that I might have to give...

Seems to be a lot of deer this spring I watched a group of 17 bucks and another of 9 bucks last night in less than a hour of looking. In the next month they will be disappearing up high and right now you can get a idea of what made it through. Also got a pic of a up and coming ram.

So lets see em boys. Or how are you getting to where you hunt, what do you stay in, and how are you getting around? I thought it would be interesting to see how some of you are getting it done in the back country.

Well hate to report this but fair to say at this point we will all soon be talking of the big winter kill year of 15-16 in the Gunnison basin.. Deer are literally walking through tunnels of snow and having to dig through 4' of snow to even see the tops of the sage on much of the winter grounds...

Please read and send emails. Once you send your email please bump this thread back up to the top letting every one know that your email has been sent. We need the commissioners to hear hunters opinions by this WEDNESDAY JANURARY 13th. Thanks and it would be great to see a couple of pages of...

From last year well he made another trip around the sun. The link to last years thread with some more pics is below. He was rutting super hard today along with several other bucks so hard he followed a doe to about 30 yds away with out a care in the world. Pics from this year to follow it...

Was voted on by the commission and approved a couple of days ago. Follow the link to the new regs for 2016. No more turning in your tag last day before the opener if you did not see the animal you want or if the weather is not cooperating...

Every year I am thankful for some items that just work and thought I would share. A small pad to sit on makes most days more enjoyable in the back country. Weight is almost nothing and get a tough foam pad cut to chosen size. I put mine on the back of my pack and pack it every...
