    2021 Hunting Success Thread

    I missed this thread. But my bull from last week is the only animal going into my freezer and come Thanksgiving I'll transport at least half of the meat over to my sisters house for distribution. I used to fill a freezer every year but as I get older I don't eat as much red meat so I usually...

    Colorado hunting laws for a new resident

    CC has it pretty well covered. For any animal you need a license and a tag even if you are hunting on private property. If you are just moving here to Colorado you will be out of the resident draw this coming year since the application period ends in the first of April, so you would need...

    I was wondering what took the shooter so long to pull the trigger.

    Texan bow hunter killed by Pennsylvanian muzzle loader

    What it comes down to is hunter responsibility and knowing what they are shooting at before that trigger is pulled. There are a number of states that do not require any form of hunter orange on the hunter for any season. Arizona being one of them, Utah also has regulations where in once in a...

    Not Sitting At Home

    As I mentioned I usually just use this spot for cows but those permits now take 2 or 3 points to draw in this unit instead of being on a left over list. I have found that if you just plop your rear down and sit from sunup to sundown for a number of days that a elk will wander through the area...

    Not Sitting At Home

    I drove my 4wheeler right to him. If I hadn't parked my truck down on the main road I would of just loaded him into it. People look at you kind of funny when you have a whole bull elk in the back of a truck. Just aa FYI, this is my cow hunting spot and this is the first bull that I have shot...

    Not Sitting At Home

    Now to finish the story. After two days of fog, rain, snow, and wind I was sitting in my spot this morning waiting for the fog to lift. Once it did the sun was out and drying things out quite quickly. The morning passed without seeing anything except for the birds that were getting quite...

    Proposed change for Utah Elk Tag

    In my opinion Utah has to do something. For those that don't know Utah allocates their elk tags this way: 15,000 spike only tags 15,000 any bull tags. Both the spike and any bull tags are totally separate and are separate units. The any bull tags are mostly up in the north east corner in...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    While college plans sound nice and you get to defer the taxes on them I would still look at a good mutual fund to put the money into for the kids education. This is where a good financial planner can do all kinds of things for you along with setting things up for yours and your kids future.

    Colorado 2nd Season update

    It's been raining off and on here in my area for the last two days, but Wednesday is suppose to be a good weather day. I'll head back up to my spot and plop down and watch for another day. Good luck to your daughter, perhaps she'll bring you some luck on the elk.

    Investments - what has served you well?

    The best thing to do is to find a financial advisor and go have a talk with him. Let him know where you want to be in xx more years. They will do a risk management survey with you to see just what you need to do to get to where you want to be in that time frame. I started investing in a...

    Not Sitting At Home

    Nothing moving today except for the birds and they were screaming at me asking for something to eat. It appears that there is a storm front moving in tonight so perhaps Monday will be better.

    Not Sitting At Home

    I sat around until dark and saw a few does that were with this buck and some cow elk a long ways off but that was it. So now with this buck I know where he lives and am sure that he was up there all summer long. The only humans that might of even bothered him were folks in the side by sides...

    Not Sitting At Home

    Well, the other day I decided that I wasn't going to sit at home while everyone else was out chasing animals so without a deer tag that never showed up for me in the draw I headed down to the local store to pick up a bull elk tag and go sit in my spot to see what might wander past. Well, after...

    To eat or not eat CDW positive tested deer

    Most agencies will now confiscate the meat and depending on what state and what you want to do either issue you a new tag for the same year and area or give you a tag for the next year.
