    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    And here I sit waiting for our county health department to give me a call....... The sad thing is that I answered two car warranty companies wanting to sell me something and one that wants to increase my credit score.

    Trail Cams

    If you don't check it watch the web site Camo Fire. I believe that it is on Tuesdays that they usually have trail cameras on sale. But pay attention to the cost of them, at times you can find them cheaper elsewhere. https://www.camofire.com/

    Elk hunting gear

    What season are you planning on hunting? If you are not hunting the rut I wouldn't worry too much about a call, however elk are very vocal animals and will be bugling well into November but that doesn't mean that they will come into a call. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a pretty good Elk...

    Trail Cams

    I wouldn't own another Moultrie if you gave it to me along with enough money to buy another one. I had a couple of them and found that their customer service was lousy. The LED readouts went blank after a year and they were no help getting them repaired. I would go with the Browning or ones...

    Sheep Hunting With Bow or Rifle?

    If I was a bow hunter anymore I believe that I would take both. Then hope that during the first few days that I could get within range with the bow. But with as hard as those tags are to draw I would likely switch to a rifle fairly quick.

    30-06 and 180 gr bullet load suggestions

    I personalty go with the Barnes 165 grain TTSX. The current load data on the Barnes site does not mention RL 22 but does RL 19. I looked at two other Barnes manuals and neither one of them list RL 22. But you may be limited to what powder you use to what you have on hand due to the shortage...

    Who taught you to hunt?

    Myself and brother in law for the most part. My dad was a hunter but worked construction where he was never around during hunting seasons and as I grew up putting a sure source of food on the table was more important than hunting. I lived with my sister and brother in law when I went to Jr...

    When Did You Kill Your First Elk?

    I was 20, and hunting elk for the first time. We could hear them in the canyons below us but there was no access into them unless you jumped off of the edge of the hill and rolled down to where they were at. After a week I got tired of not seeing anything up where we were hunting so I bailed...

    Gun Registration Bill HR 127

    I think that a lot thought that she was going to be a hot little firecracker that was going to get things done or as most are saying she was going to take on the "Squad". I actually see her as a one term Representative in congress for us.

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Friday came all too soon, we started out doing the routine that we had been doing for the last few days. Driving the washes and looking for tracks. We headed up one wash and over the power line road to the middle wash. Then we headed towards the locked gate and a gas line road and then down...

    Gun Registration Bill HR 127

    I agree with Kid, Boebert is a wack job but she fights for what she believes in from what I have seen. The other candidate for Congress in this district was Diane Mitsch Bush a 180 degree in the other direction of Boebert. While she was in the Colorado State Legislature she or her...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Monday through Thursday found us in a routine of driving washes and looking for tracks along with taking hikes to check out tops of draws trying to find the javelina. One day I was up above Roy on the top of a very long draw when I saw a herd come out of the bottom and head straight to him. I...

    Utah Applications

    For you procrastinators out there Utah's applications period is open. New for this year is the extra cost of tags for us non residents. They want to make sure that you know it by adding boxes that need to be checked acknowledging that you know that it is going to cost you more to hunt there...

    The Retro Arizona Javelina Hunt.................

    Sunday was the last day for everyone except for Roy and me. We headed across the main wash into a new territory. One of the draws that we went up had a pretty good flow of water in it. It only ran about a hundred yards but it was flowing. On our way up this one we didn’t see a single track...

    Alaska caribou

    I found that if you intend to book with the better operations that you need to start your planning 3 to 4 years out. They are usually that popular.
