    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    Passed on a smaller buck about 15 minutes before this one. The smaller 8 point was actually running a doe....(Which is a bit early for those kind of shenanigans in this part of the country) and this buck came out of nowhere with his ears laid back and was going to get after him when I let him...

    Backup Bow?

    When I hunt local I dont take one. But when I am on a trip I always take one. Too much money and time planning not to have one for me. Matthews LX and its got its own release and its own 5 arrows with broadheads. I shoot it every year before bow season to make sure its still hitting good and...

    I was finally able to view the video. That bear had a broken leg? That guy was much braver than I would have been. lol

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    All this talk about ammo. I decided to shoot yesterday evening in between the monsoon rains... I fired each of the deer rifles only 1 time yesterday to check them. Shot the muzzle-loaders also. Everything hit close enough to the bullseye to satisfy me so I cleaned them and put them in their...

    Colorado Waterfowl 21/22

    Sweet. That picture reminds me how I always used to add a dozen "goose and duck asses" to my spread when I hunted them heavy. Seems to make a difference.

    Montana First Time

    Thats what I figured. Kinda stinks for planning purposes. At $50 a point a guy better know for certain he has enough bonus points to make it worth their while or they will be waiting three more years to apply. I wonder how long it will be before they enact the same thing with bonus...

    Montana First Time

    What happens if you apply for the general tag and get it then dont get the LQ tag you were actually trying to get? Do you still have to take the general tag and your preference points 0 out or can you turn everything back in and try again next year. In other words, if a person ONLY wanted to...

    How many rounds of ammo to take?

    Pretty much the same as the guys above, I keep a box of shells with me in the truck and a box back at camp. While hunting I carry enough ammo on my person to do 1 full reload while in the field. 3+1 + 3+1. So a total of 8 rounds on my person while actually hunting. Never used more than three...

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    Hard article to read. I have met 50 serious goons in the back country I can see how this could easily happen. They will sell anyone a hunting license. I have encountered a lot of people who had no business hunting with a bow let alone something with powder packed in it. I had a guy tell me at...

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    I had a kid shoot a foam turkey decoy with a 10 gauge placed on a field edge 15 feet in front of me one year. It hardly even looked like a turkey...and ironically, this happened to me in PA... There are a LOT of people who shoot first and ask questions later.

    Late Fawn Drop

    I saw fawns with spots all across the Midwest. Makes me kinda glad that we chose to hunt the third week of the rut in Illinois.

    First Elk ever!

    Very cool. I had a moose in Colorado give me the stink eye in the dark one time. Honestly, I wasn't too concerned at the time but after the fact I though back about it and always wondered what his issue was....lol Clearly he wasn't scared of me.

    Dolores County Colorado Hunting Accident

    Just spitballing here but I wonder if there was an argument. I find it hard to believe that it was accidental unless this happened at camp while loading the thing. * I did hear that the archery hunter had a decoy attached to his bow * Don't know if its true or not though.
