    AZ Javelina Double

    If a person hasn't hunted a javelina down in Arizona using a spot and stalk method they haven't had any fun yet. Not to mention that for us in cold climates heading down there in January or February is a great way to warm up. Not to mention you can then start to build points for other...

    AZ Javelina Double

    Great going, you can't beat doubling up like that. Arizona decided that they didn't want my money this year for a HAM's tag so I'll have to live through others success

    Broken Stuff

    I have learned that it is a experience the every home owner has, if it isn't broken now just wait a while. This past June when I got home from Africa at 1am I wanted a nice hot shower. Come to find out my water heater had gone out after only a year. The next morning I tried to relight the...

    Elk hunting question

    If it is a rifle tag I would consider the end of August or first of September. At that time you will have archery hunters in the area that you can even talk to about what they are seeing which can be a big help for a first time elk hunter. Where are you looking to put in for and what state...

    January cow elk

    In over 50 years of hunting the worst eating animal that I have ever shot was a cow elk, I would of been better off boiling the boots that I was wearing and making soup out of them. As you say, you never know until it hits the table.

    Nosler Rifle Model 21

    Or even a 300 Win mag. But I'd even look hard at a 7mm Rem mag. When I was shooting my 7mm it reached out and killed everything that I shot it at.

    Colorado Division of Wildlife and Parks

    They should of stayed separate in my mind. I can't remember but it seamed like the parks were loosing money when they merged.

    On the Samurai, on the YouTube channel for Fab Rats they put a Toyota drive train into one and it is no longer under powered.

    New Ranger

    One other thing that you might want to consider adding is a rear facing winch. If you think about it all winches should be mounted on the rear. When you drive into a problem do you want to be pulled through the problem or out of the problem? On a ATV forum that I am on there are a number...

    SW Colorado weather

    Up here in Eagle County is is a balmy 35 degrees and cloudy. Our snow pack in the hills around us is over 100% but down here in the valleys it is next to nonexistent. We got a pretty good storm the other day but then came the warmer weather and rain. The only place that I have snow left is...

    I started thinking, I need to buy my Arizona pronghorn point.

    How many states....

    Struck out on my first hunt in Arizona, other than that I'll have a deer tag in Utah and one here in Colorado. I'm doing one more year for points and then I'll look at Wyoming seriously for antelope in 2024.

    Colorado Parks and Wildlife App

    In case you don't know this year with your vehicle registration here in Colorado you will also get a Colorado State Parks Pass, this will be automatic unless you opp out when you register your vehicle. Right now it is my understanding that they are doing away with the sticker that you place on...

    First Aid Kits

    The big thing with a extinguisher is to keep it up to date and make sure that it works. I've seen way to many that are designed for vehicles just placed into the vehicle and forgotten. I have a friend who had a slide in camper and one day when we were drinking coffee I hit the little green...

    First Aid Kits

    Better drug stores will carry good ones where you can check them out for size and what not. On my first trip to Africa we stopped at a local drug store and bought a few nice ones for a school that we were going to visit. The teachers there really appreciated them

    First Aid Kits

    I've always had just a basic one in my truck but never did pack one in a day pack or even take one on extended pack ins. Thankfully all the situations that I have encountered could be handled with a paper towel and some electrical tape. That is all but one. I sewed up a cut on my thumb with...

    September? WTF

    A lot of it is falling right in line with people giving up hunting. Many years ago my niece planned out her wedding but she asked her dad if there were any hunts going on during that time, there were but he gave her the OK to schedule her wedding for whenever she wanted it. I got married 2...
