    Colorado winter kill.

    I live 1/2 way between Dolores & Cortez, west of Durango. We had more snow that I have seen in many years. I am sure we have had more than our normal amount of winter kill, but still seeing quite a few deer every day. Havn't been able to up to Disappointment/Dry Creek Basin yet, a big wintering...

    Another article on Wyoming's tough winter

    If Wyoming F & G does their job, there will be big cuts in tags. More point will be needed if that happens. I am probable going to avoid Wyoming for a couple of years (or more).

    Colorado Twin Peaks ranching for wildlife

    When I was researching RFW years ago, I read every one of them and their rules. Some of them do crazy things. One of them had over 50 hunters for elk and 50 hunters for deer. They turned them all loose at the same time . The one I hunted at least divided the ranch up into areas and assigned...

    Colorado Twin Peaks ranching for wildlife

    There could be a lot of reasons. The RFW outfits are also contracted with an outfitter who basically runs the hunting operation. The FRW ranches also set their own seasons and all of the hunting rules in addition to state hunters rules. Maybe they got a new outfitter and he didn't want RFW#...

    Since the voting numbers in the Colorado Springs to Boulder area overwhelmed the rural area voters (which is at least 75 to 80 % of the state)

    Grizzly delisting, will it ever happen?

    Jim....you are spot on. Us old timers have seen times and have had experiences that the youngsters will never see.

    Given' Up/Cashing in my Points

    I did the same thing many years ago with Unit 100 in Wyoming for elk. Could never catch up with the NR point creep. Used the point on another unit in a guided hunt and quit putting in for Wyoming NR elk.

    75-25% for Colorado

    If they change and take point for OTC (and/or 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice), there will be a lot of tags unsold. Most OTC are in areas that are marginal habitat or private land.....that's why they don't get scooped up in the normal draw.

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    A month after the replacement surgery, I slipped on some ice and fell. I had a complete tear of the quadricep tendon. Had another surgery 3 weeks ago to repair the tear and the knee has to be in a brace for 10 to 12 weeks so the tendon can heal. The knee replacement was 100% successful, just...

    Knee Replacement Surgery

    My left knee was totally gone (replaced the right one 20 years ago). Had it replaced last month. Everything was going great in my rehab, way ahead of schedule. On my way to PT a week and a half ago, I slipped and fell on some ice that was covered with snow so I didn't see it. I completely...

    Mine is a plastic card (like the federal NP Pass). When you check in, they add the sticker to be displayed on the vehicle. It can be used for entry only, still have to pay for camping.

    10 or 12 years ago, Parks offered a lifetime senior pass for around $200. I bought one and I have more than got my money back. BTW they do not offer it anymore.

    7 PRC Barrel Length

    I have a question about suppressors. I have a .300 Wby Number 1 Ruger with a muzzle brake . Do suppressors decrease the recoil like MB's?
