    The time is almost here again...

    It is all one huge vicious cycle. Applications, draws, plans, hunts, applications. I sat down one year and saw that there were 2 months out of the whole year that I didn't have something going on that didn't evolve hunting. So I started putting in for a couple more states and now the whole...

    Bulls Taken in 2020 with what bullet and caliber combos?

    Every time that I have made a bad shot or didn't hit the animal right where I wanted to and have taken my rife back to the range to correct the problem I have found that the problem is with the person that pulled the trigger.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Back when I was working I would get a cold or some other bug about every year. But then I carpooled with a couple of others that has school age kids or as I called them "walking germ carriers" The last time that I got the flu was all the way back in 1989, I have gotten a flu shot every year...

    Poachers... What a joke!

    The sentencing that they got pretty much goes along with what others have gotten for poaching that I have seen. The article from CP&W could of just not listed the tag forfeitures and how long they will be without a chance to hold one. It would take a little bit of research to find out if it...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    But what about those who have caught this virus more than once? There are a number of them out there so their bodies are not developing natural antibodies Then there is the fact that the vaccine is not 100% at preventing the virus, there is always that chance that even after getting the...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I think that one problem with those who want to wait is that they are used to the idea that a vaccine can be developed and tested in less than a year. The old school of thought was that it takes years to get one, and while that may be true in some instances this one shows what can be done if...

    Poaching Rant....

    Shooting times are defined in the rule books. You shoot outside of them and you may not be technically a poacher if it was a few minutes but you should get a ticket, if it was dark then you are a bonified poacher in my book. These days of modern technology the optics are getting better and...

    Tripods

    Before I went over to South Africa on my hunt I purchased a Bog-Pod to practice off of. To my surprise when I got over there that is exactly what my outfitter and PH were using.

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I remember many moons ago when my dad went into Mexico to work and of course my mom and us two kids followed. She had a complete record of our immunizations that she carried, and I remember the border guard one time asking about some kind of shots as we crossed the border. I'm not sure if he...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Since I am in the higher risk group I'll get it, but I do know of some that don't believe in shots to prevent a problem that they don't have. I saw the tentative list on first to last on who gets the shots and those in the state prison system are up there at 3 or 4 on the list if not hightr.

    OTC Elk

    The point draw system in Colorado is simple. If you look at the odds report and it says that a unit takes 10 points to draw, then it takes 10 points to draw. It is likely that there are no second choice tags let out in those type of units. However if there is a unit that only takes 1 or 2...

    OTC Elk

    You can only hunt one season and not both. So you will need to decide on which time frame you want to hunt. Second season will be the busiest with the most hunters. Third season you may have more weather to contend with since it starts in November. The OTC tags will be on sale next spring, I...

    When you realize you are getting old!

    Hmmm

    People were breaking down doors to get a license or tag this last year. There were lots of them that haven't hunted in years, they were worried about the Covid stuff and wanted to make sure that they had enough meat to survive. Then when all the panic buying died down and they found that they...
