    Sad Duty Today

    Getting ready to leave for a funeral this morning. It is for a friend and Masonic Brother who I have hunted with for years. I have to give the eulogy as requested by his wife....something that will be hard to do. Saying good bye is hard enough, hope I can get thru this without any mistakes in...

    Bear & Bullet Proof Trailer

    $100 K with the bulletproof option...... They need to have an option of camo paint and free transportation to and from Ukraine. What a useless piece of crap for a billionaire who wants to go camping and "experience" the out of doors!

    What do you think you'll draw 2023

    Maybe a buck antelope (Hybrid draw) here in Colorado. It is the only tag I applied for. Point for everything else here in Colorado and will put in for points in Wyoming too. After the replacement knee situation and after 2 surgeries and a long PT schedule, I figured an antelope hunt would be...

    Anybody see the picture on Facebook with the new pending world record Laker caught in Blue Mesa Res? It was 47" long, 37" girth and weighed 73.29#. What a pig! The fish was photographed and measured and released. It was posted by Sportsman's Warehouse.

    2023 FISHING THREAD

    Just got the new registration numbers and boat name and got them put on the new bought I bought over the winter. Got new plate for the trailer too. Going to start on my TO DO list to get ready for fishing season. Snow is melting and our local res (McFee) is filling fast. Probably a couple of...

    Point banking revisited..

    I really don't have an opinion on what should be done to lower the number of hunters with high point totals. I have 12 for elk and expect to use mine next year. I usually use my deer points when they get to 5 or 6 , the usual number necessary to draw the unit I usually hunt. What really...

    Wolves

    Thanks for posting this, everyone should read it. It is not talked about much, but the Utes do not need a state hunting license or tags and do not have abide by CPW rule is the areas mentioned. What a lot of people don't realize this applies to private land in this area too.

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    Actually both. I have enough points to possibly draw an antelope tag, which I applied for. Easy hunt that I am sure I will be able to do. Points for the rest. Also points in Wyoming. I could draw in Wy, but with the bad winter, I'll skip it this year. Considering a Texas pig/deer hunt too.

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    I was in one for 2 weeks after the replacement. When I fell and tore the quad tendon, they put me in a brace to keep my knee from bending at all so the tendon can heal.

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    Had my 6 weeks appointment with my surgeon yesterday and he is pleased. He changed my PT and I can start to work on bending my knee to 45 degrees. Still have to wear the brace for another 6 weeks. I am also walking a mile (with the brace on) almost every day, weather permitting.

    Memories of Hunts Past

    I used to make knives and pistol grips and I used almost all my elk horns for handles, scales and grips.

    Memories of Hunts Past

    I was thinking about the same thing before your post. This fall will be my 70th year big game hunting and I definitely have some memories. I don't have a lot of mounts, but a few that are special to me. I have saved almost all the better horns from my deer and antelope, I keep them in the...

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    The Judge recommended that CP&W make some changes in the way the seasons are now structured. I am quoting the newspaper: "In January 2022, CPW staff made a policy recommendation to the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission that would have required archery hunters to wear fluorescent orange or...

    Colorado winter kill.

    My son and I went for a drive yesterday to Disappointment and Dry Creek Basin. Still some snow, but not bad. Saw lots of deer, some elk and a few antelope, a small group of Desert Bighorns and lots of turkeys. Looks pretty much like normal. This is prime winter range and the animals are there!
