Bob Tanner, who owned Red's Meadows Resort & Pack Station passed away last week. I knew Bob when he first worked at red's in the summer of 1955 when I worked there for a summer while in high school. My family packed in deer hunting with him and his predesessor Arch Mahan for over 60 years. He...

Been awhile since I've shot them in Wyoming, as I remember no license or permit required. Right or wrong. Couldn't find anything in the regs.

I know, I know 2015 is still here but early in 2016 (really only a couple of months away) tag applications will be starting to come due. I have been doing a lot of thinking and pretty much have my year set....if my draw luck is good!!! Antelope - Will only be hunting Colorado, cashing in my 15...

Just returned home and had a great trip. Learned a lot about hunting this unit for deer, as this was the first time for me. Have hunted it for elk, but about 40 miles east of this deer area which is in the western part of the unit. First I'll start with the weather. We got there 2 days before...

Who says that dogs don't rule the household? My Lab Jenny is 1 1/2 years old and absolutely rules here. Still has a lot of puppy in her, but learning fast. She is going to be a great dog.......when she grows up some more!!

Well today is my 74th birthday and I somehow just don't feel like it. Yes I have aches and pains, but when I think about my upcoming deer hunt in a couple of weeks, they seem to fade away.......at least for awhile. LOL What makes me feel old is that my son turns 50 next month! I figure I have...

Spent some time at the range this morning shooting 2 different rifles. One is my "old reliable" Ruger M77 in 25-06, the other in my newer elk rifle, a custom commercial Mauser in .300 Wby. Both shoot around 1/2 minute groups, both are topped with Leupold VXlll 4x14 optics. I shoot both really...

It was loaded into the truck with a front loader and then went straight to the meat processor.

Friend of mine just got back from a guided hunt near Colorado Springs and scored his biggest bull ever. It scored 325 at the taxi's. He is a disabled VN vet and hunts elk and deer a lot. Can you tell he is happy!!!

Seems like the biggest problem we have here is it is to damn warm. In the last 2 weeks we have had lots of rain & snow above 9000', but it stays mostly in the mid 30's to 40 at night, just too warm for the snow to stick. More moisture forecast for next week. La Plata Mountains this am.

I had a very enjoyable lunch with AKaviator today in Ridgeway, Co. It was great to meet another person with the same interests and Forum member. He was down here from Alaska on family visits. Great guy to talk to and has a lot of similar interests and background. I am definitely trying to put...

Hot again for a couple of days, 80's today, possible storm late in the week, just before 2nd season opening. Here is the snow today...what little is left!

Picture this am.

Got our first fall snow in the La Platas here in SW Colorado. Probably get some more tonight, but doubtful it will stay .....still too warm!

I had the same dilemma a few years back. I racked my brain, talked to my Mom & Sisters and still came up empty. My Dad loved to hunt & fish so I chartered a boat & guide and took him fishing. My Dad would rather catch trout than anything, so we went to a lake in California and caught a ton of...

Finally transferred a few pictures.

Just thought I'd inject a little levity to our SERIOUS discussions

There was a recent article in our local paper (Cortez Journal, September 11, 2017, "Are Wolves coming back to Colorado?") about a recent presentation by Michael Soule', "a renowned conservation biologist" to the San Juan Citizen's Alliance. He stated that he believes it is inevitable and it...

Heading out in an hour or so to set up camp for Saturday's M/L opening. Was up there looking around Tuesday and lots of the campsite are take my archery hunters. New unit for me, so will see how this pans out. Be back in a week or so....sooner if I fill my cow tag. Good luck to everyone.;)

On our home from town this evening and saw 5 bucks right next to the road about 1/2 mile from our place. Pictures could have been better, but one was a great buck with a drop tine. Funny thing is that they were fighting and one had a big gash on his rt shoulder.
