    1st Elk hunt White River NaTional Forest.

    Forget about the crud moore. While it will kill a elk leave it to a experienced hunter, a bad shot with it and you will be chasing a elk for hours.

    Remember the heat trackers that came out 20+ years ago that could follow a animal? I actually thought of buying one.

    1st Elk hunt White River NaTional Forest.

    The other day I checked out a small herd of elk to the south of me in 44. In a field that should have over 200 elk it had less than 100. I need to get over towards Eagle and check out the herd there, but last year all I saw in that area was around 50. Plus when I was up in the wilderness area...

    1st Elk hunt White River NaTional Forest.

    Whatever you do plan on getting at least to Denver a couple of days before the hunt to get accumulated to the altitude. Also do some research on Altitude Sickness and learn the symptoms. Leave the alcohol at home and drink lots of water when here.

    I looked into it years ago and quickly decided that it wasn't worth it just because of the record keeping that is required.

    Exploring new tech in big game recovery

    While it may be legal in some states as of right now in most western states it is not legal to use a drone at anytime during the hunting seasons. It would be nice if it was legal and would be a great aid in retrieving animals, but sooner or later some will start to use it at times outside of...

    First time out West hunting

    You will need a tag for each animal and not just one. At least that is the way that it used to be, I haven't hunted Idaho in over 30 years.

    First time out West hunting

    Hunting will be mostly public land on USFS managed lands. I doubt that there are any areas that you would call leased areas. Wolf hunting can be very hit or missed. A friend has some property where he parks a a trailer on during the summer and hunting season in central Idaho and while he...

    2020-2024 Colorado Season Dates

    Don't be surprised like I was when I posted the wrong dates for Colorado's second elk season. I don't pay that much attention to it since I try to hunt during the muzzle loader hunts but they have changed and if you are like I was when I was working I you need to put in for vacation so that...

    First OTC hunt questions

    That is true, you need a small game license but that allows you to shoot grouse and rabbits while you are hunting.

    That would be the Hunt Planner, the number will be in the Guide Book when it comes out.

    First OTC hunt questions

    If you purchase a OTC tag then you can hunt in any unit that is OTC. The Colorado Guide Book will be out shortly and you can look at it to see what units are ope to you. As for a unit, what I would do is to go to the CP&W web site and do some research on their hunt planner. It gives some...

    Application Strategy

    Put in for a bunch of tags and hope that I draw a couple. I should be able to draw a Wyoming antelope tag but I should have drawn it the last 3 years. Colorado muzzle loader deer, now first or second choice is the question. Utah will just laugh at me to think that I might draw a tag.

    Portable Bear Fence in Grizz country?

    When I was up in British Colombia on my grizzly hunt I shot a black bear and as will usually happen that bear made it to the trees. My guide asked me how I felt about the shot and I said that it felt good and that I saw the bear hunch up before he took off. While we were sitting there he asked...
