    Hello from N. Idaho

    One thing with point game. If you want to make sure that you draw a tag this year look at units that require 1 or 2 fewer points than you have. I couldn't tell you how many hunters I have seen get disappointed when they find that they needed another point when they put in for a unit that only...

    Hello from N. Idaho

    Never been to it. From what I know of them and going to the one in Denver it is a big show for outfitters. There are some booths set up for selling things and food and a lot of mounted game animals. A number of the outfitter will have chances to win hunts but you have to really look at just...

    Hello from N. Idaho

    Welcome to the site, its been slow without hunting season going on but if you have any questions ask away. Quite a few members check in every now and then so the questions should get answered. I've lived in Colorado for 35+ years and have wandered around in units 44 and 35 quite a bit.

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Thought that I would get on top of the snowstorm today so headed out and plowed my driveway and some sidewalks. 6" of nice fluffy snow and by the time that I got done there was another 1/2 inch back where I started. I'll head out this evening again and hit it again during a lull in the...

    Vista Outdoors Announcement

    Saw that when it first came out but it wasn't any big surprise. Everything out there has gone up in price and availability so ammo, or components were headed there anyway. I'm sitting pretty good with everything and quite likely I have enough of a lot of ammo to hold me over for a long...

    What’s Everyone Doing?

    Environmental Group is Buying Hunting Permits

    This is just another way that they are trying to disrupt the hunting industry. It is no different than when a couple of years ago they put in applications with everyone else for the grizzly permits that Wyoming was going to issue. They figured that they would just pay fee and then not hunt...

    The problem that I see is once a organization gets large enough and they start taking in very large sums of money there is going to be corruption, I don't care who it is. Take a look at just about any non profit group and you will see that the vast majority of the money that is given to them...

    I doubt that it will change very much with new leadership. I didn't notice much difference from the last few leaders. But some priorities may change.

    I can't help you with your question, but I would call the outfitter that you have a relationship with and ask them.

    Wolves

    The road that it was spotted on is a common shortcut for locals. The person who spotted it and took the picture was a contractor in the area. Here is a picture of roughly where it was spotted. The rumors of where they were released was around Radium Hot Springs at the top of the picture...

    Wolves

    It appears that one of the wolves has been spotted and had it's picture taken. It was still north of the Colorado River about 9 miles west of HWY 9 and Green Mountain Reservoir, it was a single wolf. The person who took the picture was driving on the Through Road that runs along the Colorado...

    Wolves

    I saw today on Utah Wildlife Board Meeting that if they venture into Utah that the DWR will capture them and return them to Colorado. That is as long as they don't get shot by folks thinking that they are large coyotes as happened to one a couple of years ago down around Beaver I believe.

    Funny that you mentioned the soft spot for them. All the years that I hunted with my brother in law for deer in Utah we always found our pet deer that hung around were we were camping. Even if it was a buck we would leave them alone and hunt elsewhere instead of taking the easy route...

    Congratulations on a couple of nice looking critters. I have to wait another month for the HAM season to fire up. I was just checking my equipment list and saw that I needed to get my ATV registration done, but I do have the motel reservations.
