    "Meat Eater"

    I just watched the 2 episodes from this season of him hunting in New Zealand. That dude is the real deal. With the exception of Mike, Ike, and a few of the guys from "Western Hunter" most of these hunting personalities couldn't hack these high altitude hunts. The few that do try with a guide...

    Scouting

    Went scouting this weekend and saw 12 bucks, 3 shooters. I wish I had an elk tag for the archery season, I saw 17 bulls and 2 were 7 X 7 and 6 X 8. Opening day can't get here soon enough. The range in the high country of Colorado is looking good this year! I am pleased with antler growth in the...

    Test Loads for .300 Win Mag question

    I tested 4 different loads in my 300 Win Mag today. I shot 5 rounds of each load. I let my rifle cool down and cleaned it between each load variation. I noticed my gun didn't group well until rounds 3-5 after it had some fouling and warmed up a bit. I am going to try a couple of other "recipes"...

    How we portray hunting to non hunters.

    I just read read Ryan Hatfield's 1 page editorial on how we represent our sport in the eyes of non hunters through social media in his magazine. It is a great read for everyone that hunts. He reminds us to keep a civil tone and argue with facts not emotion (kind of like our long range threads on...

    Mike Eastman's Books

    I just finished reading Mike's book on elk hunting. I have now read all of the books he has written and I am impressed with how much knowledge he has stored away over the years. I also like his matter of fact writing style. I would recommend reading his books if you haven't yet. Even a seasoned...

    Baseball Season

    Anyone else excited about baseball season this year? I am a braves fan and things look pretty good. I love watching baseball and use it as something to do during early summer while waiting for the snow to melt in the high country.

    Hunter Fryingpan Wilderness

    Thinking about putting in for an early rifle buck tag for this unit. Anyone hunted it during the early seasons? Wondering about buck numbers and size of bucks. I can handle the rough terrain. Just thinking about trying for a different hunt this year. Thanks in advance!

    Unit 49 Bull

    Well I waited 7 years and finally hunted 49. I shot my bull on Tuesday night. He was right at timberline with 6 cows. I am not sure the tag was worth 6 points but it is a good unit and I saw lots of elk. I didn't see the mature bulls I thought I would see. I saw them on previous scouting trips...

    Spot and Stalk

    I was watching a video with Cameron Hanes stalking a mule deer. He gets within 9 yards of the buck and then throws a rock to get the deer to stand up.The buck stands and he nails him. I have tried that 3 different times within 30 yards and they have left their bed running every time. Anyone else...

    Unit 9 Speed goat

    Looking at applying for unit 9 as a second choice unit this year. I know it will be crowded and not many bruisers but just want to go hunting. I saw that the unit has a good amount of WIA. Any thoughts. I am saving points for 73 and I need one more point.

    Wolves

    I just wanted to ask the members of this forum to go to biggameforever.org, they do not ask for donations. All they ask is that you sign petitions in support of wolf de-listing. Whether you live in wolf country or just go to hunt there it is important that we support state wildlife agencies in...
