Couple of you pointed out the two scat piles were moose. I wasn't hunt scouting, so the best pic I had of elk scat wasn't really as impressive as that dual-pile one of moose there. I was just dumping in a few pics of general interest and figured you'd like it. I see moose all over these days but...

Over the weekend I was going to take two friends into Shipman Park. It's a beautiful roadless park in Northern CO that reminds me "Estes without the people, buildings, or roads." I was there last year hunting but it was unseasonably warm and there was a large fire nearby in WY that pushed a lot...

I carry a set of Walmart chains, the $60 or so ones in the blue tub. They're actually surprisingly good quality for the price, but you can only go a few miles an hour with them - they'll shake your teeth out if you go any faster. I'm fine with that, I want grip, not comfort. The tensioners...

I haven't had the chance to hunt it because it can be hard to draw, but I've scouted (and just generally hiked) it a lot. I agree with DanPickar. There's definitely animals in there but they're more spread out and it can be a challenge. It's very popular with the locals and if you hike it (and...

You're right, those basemap layers are very buried. Am I missing something on the features side, as well? I just made a sample route, a quick 7.5mi practice "plan". I couldn't figure out how to "close" it (how finish where I started - and what is the blue icon with the map pin supposed to do as...

By the way, sometime I've had luck with Google Maps "StreetView". Coverage is limited in public land areas but not entirely zero. Here are two example spots. (Note: These aren't "secret hunting zones") The first is near Sedalia, along 285 where the road is lined on both sides with ranches and...

I think I can tell you that. In Colorado you get four "choices" when you fill out the draw form. Your chance of getting a tag is a balance of the draw chance for that tag against which slot you put it in. For instance, a tag that takes a point to draw isn't going to you no matter what slot you...

Maybe he was in a fight. Check out this beauty I found on a hike last fall, right along a game trail into a meadow I was scouting for later that season. The left antler was broken but so was the base. You can see how it healed at an angle. My guess is it was a bad head-butt and a heck of a...

Picked this guy up on a trail cam a couple months ago - I know from wallows and other sign that he's still in the area. Going to try to track him down as soon as the season opens.

Just got back from a pre-season scouting trip. First fun find, Winnie the Pooh! Yes, this is a huge bear scat pile with a ton of dead bees in it. Must have just raided a hive: Picked up this guy on a trail cam I left out all winter. I tried out those Lithium AA batteries in it and was very...

GO THERE. A buddy and I drew for GMU 7/8 in Colorado. It's a sketchy area - plenty of game, but tricky access and lots of hunting pressure. I LOVE Google Earth (and better still, CalTopo, my main planning tool, and OnX, which has better offline functionality) and I do a lot of planning with it...

Recent (3 years) transplant to Colorado saying hello here. Been scouting the state since I got here, loving the views in the high country. Guess I'm a mix of tech (OnX to avoid trespass) and "let's go that way awhile..." I'm also kind of a mix of loner and social - I love my time alone, but...
