Erik: You didn't ID the rangefinder that you bought, but since you already have it, I suggest that you spend some time with it outdoors and see what its capabilities are. The subject has been covered a lot on this forum, and I suggest that you slide down to the equipment/gear section and scroll...

Probably the number one item that DTC sells that many of us on the forum should wear are their "LongTail T's" They get the crack out of your life, and more importantly, out of everyone else's.

I had bushwacked several miles from a popular hiking trail in a Colorado wilderness area in 2014. I was MZL deer hunting solo, and planned to stay for up to 10 days. I hadn't seen any big critters on the way in, and barely got the tent set up before dark. I was having trouble getting to...

I remember reading on some forum (maybe even this one) several years back about the 125 gr. 30-06 accelerator ammo. It pushed the sabot bullet at close to 4,000 fps, but the issue the poster had was that it shot poorly because the twist rate didn't stabilize the bullet as well as the 150-180...

Come on Kid, you would look so cool in these, even "WOKE". Especially if you wore them with your red woolie long johns.

The area where I hunted in CO last fall was accessed the first 3 miles on a "Jeep/ORV trail" It is apparently heavily used right up to the wilderness area boundary. Before the hunting season starts it is gated and posted as closed. I spent 13 days in that area and never saw anyone else but...

For a starter, you mentioned Pinedale. I would suggest that you make motel reservations well in advance, as the energy companies had locked up many of the rooms long term. That may have eased some from a couple years ago. While in Pinedale, spend some time at the Museum of the Mountain Man if...

I bought a "tweeked" 338WM Winchester Super Grade from an old guy who couldn't shoot anymore because of Parkinsons. I had to glass bed it and a couple other small things, but now it is an absolute killing machine. My first 3 bull elk were shot at under 60 yards, so even a 45-70 would have...

I had applied for the area 66 MZL hunt after getting a lot of good information from a forum member who used to guide in that unit. I did a scouting trip in july, and spent the night at 12K'. I saw a number of bucks and quite a few moose. I did not draw the tag that year, even with 8 pts., and...

Everywhere except New York City.

I have the KUIU Quixdown vest. I was disappointed when I first got it because there seems to be very little insulation in it, and in spots, all there is is the shell. Then I wore it. WOW. As a mid layer it is the warmest thing I have ever worn; my shell or other layers go on top, and when it...

You can get that scope from the same guy who has guns, cars, chainsaws, outboard motors, and Oxi-contin for sale.

I have hunted mule deer several times in H, and plan to go again this year. A couple hunts were guided in the wilderness area, so that is off the list as a NR unless you go guided. Several of the outfitters in G and H have cut back on their deer hunts until the herd improves. I can name them...

JimP; That's the biggest shed that I've ever seen. Did you find the other one?

Husky; I have a removable brake on my 338, and it makes a world of difference, both in sound and recoil. Yup, it still kicks some, but after making the next shot comparison w/o the brake, I went back to using it full time. My bro-in-law and I each bought the Cabela's Tikka T3 ultralite rifle...

Unfortunately, true. This just serves to make the number of hunters smaller and smaller. We are such a minority now, that I suspect that if Colorado had a referendum to ban all hunting along with their wolf reintroduction that it could pass. If not now, then in the not too distant future...

My wife is from eastern Washington, so we get out to that area almost every year to visit her extended family. She has always wanted to see Crater Lake, and we finally did that a couple years ago, bringing along our granddaughters. It was near the top of our list of all the N.P.s that we have...

Sorry, no pics. I did take a couple with my cell phone of the first attempted slide down the mountain. The big old girl plowed up enough snow in front to stop her after 20 yards or so. No problem, I just had to slide down and give her another push. That worked for another 20 yards except...

I just got back from my first western hunt of 2020. It was actually a 2019 WY tag for cow elk, but it was good until Jan. 31st. It was supposed to be easy because the early snow brings them down lower on their winter range. Nope. I could see 75 elk from the bunkhouse, but it took a 4 hour...
