I read other forums and some of the stuff going on is just crazy (IMO). Lots of big game hunters are saying they are going to .22/.24 caliber for big game. They tout low recoil and new bullet design as the reason. I just don't get it. If recoil bothers them, what's wrong with a muzzle break, I...

Thank you to all my brother veterans (especially the ones here on Eastman's) who's service is the reason we celebrate our freedoms today. Their sacrifices are the reason we celebrate. TUN HUT! Salute................

Well the rut has started. I was on my way to our shooting club monthly meeting last evening and I saw at least 50 deer in my old orchard. The big difference was there was at least 10 bucks with the does. Sparing with each other and sniffing around looking for a doe in season. One pretty decent 4x4.

Colorado recently applied for a permit to stock some more wolves from Canada. Apparently there is a rule because they are "endangered" they can only come from certain states.....and none from Canada. CPW got a letter from the Federal Fish & Wildlife that they can't get any wolves except from...

Has anyone been follow the story about 2 Archery Elk hunters lost in Unit 81? It's been almost a week now.

Just got back from a lifelong friends place in California. He has terminal Parkinsons and can't drive. He wanted me to have his 49 Chevy streetrod....boy is it nice. Made me a smokin deal I couldn't refuse.

This morning I saw a mule deer doe at my place that had drooping ears. She appeared to be ok healthwise. Her coat was pretty good and she wasn't too skinny. The first thing I thought was CWD, but looking up the symptoms, drooping ears is not one of them. I look around and see if I can get a...

How many of you Colorado resident hunters have signed the new initiative? I have and collected around 100 signatures to get it on the ballot so we can start to fix this wolf debacle.

I took this antelope in 1990. I only had the Taxidermist put it on a wall plaque. He told me at the time, that is a pretty good one, you should mount it. I said I'm waiting until I get a "big" one. Years later, I took the wall plaque with me on a antelope hunt and took it in to him with one I...

According to the latest map of the Deer Creek fire, it has crossed the border and is now in Colorado . Over 7,000 acres and started near La Sal, Utah. Why am I concerned about it.....well it's now lees than 20 miles from the area I plan to hunt in Colorado that I have a cow elk tag. I am...

Saw my first fawn of this year this morning. I am sure I'll start seeing a lot more has there are tons of does around my place.

Went over all the tags available in the Secondary Draw and the only thing I saw that wanted was a buck deer tag. The unit I applied for a tag in has 7 left. Probably no chance, but you can't get one of them without applying.

Happy Fathers Day to my forever hunting partner. Dad got his last elk in 2008 when he was 90.

I am circulating referendum petitions for signatures for this initiative. I decided to do something about this wolf disaster besides talking about it. So far down here in SW Colorado the response has been positive and I have met a lot of people (hunters and nonhunters) who are fed up too. If you...

A week or so to go, then we start to know what we are going to do here in Colorado!

Anyone shopped where the new 6.5% tax is applied? Heard some retailers are charging it on hunting equipment (eg. clothing, binos. etc), it's only supposed to be charged for purchase of guns, ammo, and gun parts in my understanding.

I have had some chronic back issues that have gotten worse as I have aged. I have had one surgery (it helped SOME!) and my back Dr says he won't do any more surgeries. He suggested back Ablations, which is electronic burning of the nerve where the pain originates. It is an involved process that...

The Trump administration is studying the idea of liquidating public lands to private investors to fund something called Sovereign Wealth Fund. Trump quietly signed an Executive Order (Secretarial Order #3418 "Unleashing American Energy" ) that orders Sec of the Interior begin a review of all...

Spent the weekend thinking about my 2025 Elk, Deer & Antelope hunting here in Colorado. Pretty much made up my mind what tags I am applying for and where I want to hunt. No Wyoming this year....point for deer and antelope only. How about you?
