    Favorite Autoloading Shotguns

    None! Why....because I shoot left handed. S/A's eject across my face and I get powder, gas and whatever else in my face. Years ago I had a 20 ga M50 Winchester semi auto. It fired a shell before the action was totally closed and I got brass in my chin, nose and cheek. There is a piece still in...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    As far as I am concerned Wyoming can do what they want with the tags you mention as I have never applied (or will apply in the future) for one of the species you mention. BUT.....I do hunt Elk, Deer and Antelope and have since 1980. I feel that the proposed fees for these species is an absolute...

    Why do you hunt?

    When I first started hunting (at the age of 8), my Dad and Grandfather was the reason. They started me and taught me and it was an adventure for sure. Everything we brought home was table fare. As I grew older, it was to show I was growing up and getting to be a man. When I got married and...

    2021 WY Bill for Tag Increases

    I just got my new computer back from transfering all the data from my old one and have been out of touch for a week or so. Still need to digest what the increases are and how much. I only hunt deer & antelope there, so the projected increases for everything else won't effect me.

    We roasted a whole one on a spit for about 8 hours. It was really great. Fed 12 people and all wanted more!

    Colorado Turkey Tags

    Turkey hunting here in the SW part of Colorado is for the most part in the National Forest. It is a lot of work and requires a lot of scouting to find the birds. I usually look for a roost tree to begin with. The birds are always on the move looking for food and following the snow line as it...

    2022 ELK Hunt Recommendations

    No points.....Colorado OTC tags for 2nd & 3rd rifle seasons. I would google Colorado Outfitters Association. There are a lot of options and outfitters all over the state. Get a list of past customers and contact some of them when you are considering an outfitter. Also the Colorado Parks &...

    OTC unit 70, 711 help

    I live next to 711 and very near 70 and have hunted both units for deer & elk. They are separate tags altho 711 is combined with 71. Both are different types of country. I believe 711/71 offer more opportunity for otc success. Unit 70 has lots of pressure (as does 71/711) during archery, BP &...

    House Bill 295

    Jim mentioned about birds. It is against federal law to bait any migratory bird. Many years ago my Dad's duck club had a feeding permit for waterfowl. But the feds stopped it back in the late 70's or 80's. I know lots of friends that hunt doves near recently harvested grain fields, which is...

    gun regs yay or nay???

    I have been without my computer until Tuesday and have not been able access any of the recent posts. Answering the questions is a bit tedious. I do agree with most, but not all. I agree 100% with Jim's post. My basic views on firearms controls and restrictions have been based on 65 years of...

    Advice on hunting

    Welcome! It sounds like Colorado based on the units you mentioned. Being military, you should investigate the hunting available on Ft. Carson.

    When Did You Kill Your First Elk?

    I was born and raised in California and lived there until I retired in 2000. I hunted almost exclusively deer and antelope and a couple of trips to British Columbia for moose. I started hunting elk when I moved to Colorado in 2000. I killed my first one (a cow) in 2002 at age 61. I still am...
