Friend of mine just got back from a guided hunt near Colorado Springs and scored his biggest bull ever. It scored 325 at the taxi's. He is a disabled VN vet and hunts elk and deer a lot. Can you tell he is happy!!!

Seems like the biggest problem we have here is it is to damn warm. In the last 2 weeks we have had lots of rain & snow above 9000', but it stays mostly in the mid 30's to 40 at night, just too warm for the snow to stick. More moisture forecast for next week. La Plata Mountains this am.

I had a very enjoyable lunch with AKaviator today in Ridgeway, Co. It was great to meet another person with the same interests and Forum member. He was down here from Alaska on family visits. Great guy to talk to and has a lot of similar interests and background. I am definitely trying to put...

Hot again for a couple of days, 80's today, possible storm late in the week, just before 2nd season opening. Here is the snow today...what little is left!

Picture this am.

Got our first fall snow in the La Platas here in SW Colorado. Probably get some more tonight, but doubtful it will stay .....still too warm!

I had the same dilemma a few years back. I racked my brain, talked to my Mom & Sisters and still came up empty. My Dad loved to hunt & fish so I chartered a boat & guide and took him fishing. My Dad would rather catch trout than anything, so we went to a lake in California and caught a ton of...

Finally transferred a few pictures.

Just thought I'd inject a little levity to our SERIOUS discussions

There was a recent article in our local paper (Cortez Journal, September 11, 2017, "Are Wolves coming back to Colorado?") about a recent presentation by Michael Soule', "a renowned conservation biologist" to the San Juan Citizen's Alliance. He stated that he believes it is inevitable and it...

Heading out in an hour or so to set up camp for Saturday's M/L opening. Was up there looking around Tuesday and lots of the campsite are take my archery hunters. New unit for me, so will see how this pans out. Be back in a week or so....sooner if I fill my cow tag. Good luck to everyone.;)

On our home from town this evening and saw 5 bucks right next to the road about 1/2 mile from our place. Pictures could have been better, but one was a great buck with a drop tine. Funny thing is that they were fighting and one had a big gash on his rt shoulder.

You wanted some picts................

All the hunting I want to do for the next 10 years! Just went out and bought my wife a new car. Drove home in a new 2015 Ford Explorer Sport. Has the 3.5 twin turbo ecoboost, man it hauls ass! My wife is thrilled with it. Our old 2003 Explorer was due to have a new owner. Been a good car, but...

I just got a press release from Parks & Wildlife alerting hunter who plan on elk hunting Unit 22 for Archery or M/L concerning disruptions by the BLM caused by a wildhorse roundup. The roundup starts Sept 14th. "The BLM says they will focus on gathering 167 horses in West Douglas Horse Area...

Just got back from the range doing the last preseason shooting with my T/C Pro Hunter. Got my new supply of .501 Thor Bullets and they do shoot great! Got a 3 shot 1 3/4" group at 100 yds that prints 1" high. Unfortunately I forgot my camera. I finally got the new SeeAll sight dialed in and I...

For those who havn't heard, a toxic brew of contaminated mine water overflowed into the Animas River near Silverton. It has gone clear to New Mexico so far. It was caused by EPA workers at an old mine. The river is closed to all water contact, irrigation needs & drinking water until further...

Pictures taken at 9 to 10k feet. Everything is so green & lush, looks like spring. I rode my quad, roads really rough, didn't want to take my new truck as I really doesn't have a lot of clearance.

A few more picts.

Just got back. Saw a lot of country, most of it where I was last week. Left home a lot earlier and saw lots of animals. Lots of deer, some elk, 3 bears and a few grouse. Found a couple of really good looking areas with lots of tracks leading from a huge grove of Quakkies going to water and feed...
