    Anyone Else Sitting In line For A Tag?

    I'm back in the waiting game for a tag that is turned back in. All 3 tags were gone within a few minutes.

    Anyone Else Sitting In line For A Tag?

    Well, do we have anyone else sitting in line in hopes of snagging a tag this morning? I took a look at the leftovers yesterday and my second choice unit for deer muzzle loader has a single tag left over. My third choice has two tags. Who knows I might get lucky.

    From what I understand he only takes Velmo or whatever that payment app is and the customer has no recourse with them when he just takes the money and runs.

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    Some more pictures of what hit Glenwood Canyon and I-70, these are all right around the Bair Ranch exit 129 on the east end of the canyon. This car is pointed west in the east bound lane. You can see the guardrail in this picture and relate just how much debris is on the freeway

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    Glenwood Canyon is still closed as they remove all the mud and rocks that came down the other day. From the pictures on TV the Bair Ranch exit area took the blunt of it with huge boulders that came down. They have shown a picture of the exit 129 sign that has boulders and mud up at least 4-5...

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    I also have a 257 but like the 25-06 for a little bit more umph and a few more yards.

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    I picked up a box of Hornady Whitail 115 grain loads when I first got my 25-06 and their advertised velocity is 3100 fps. They shot extremely well out of mine but I knew that I wanted to drop down in bullet weight and shoot the Barnes 100 grain TTSX out of a reload.

    Preferred cartridge? Grip and grin pic added

    For me it would be my 25-06 shooting a Barnes 100 grain TTSX at 3200 fps. That is what I used for my coues deer at 420 yards and he just dropped. I keep thinking that I need to load it up a little faster to 3300 fps but I then ask myself why when it does such a good job at 3200.

    While not on this site I came across this information on another forum and thought that I would pass it along. DO NOT BUY from barrelammodepot dot com The poster said that he came close to being suckered in until the lights came on and he saw it for what it was.

    I'm presuming that you are talking about elk in Idaho. But listing the state helps out a lot.

    Monsoons in SW Colorado

    For me if I want to go to Glenwood and take the detour it would take about 4 1/2 hours and around 250 or so miles now I I need to go to Grand Junction you can shorten the time by a half hour. I do have a shorter road to the south of me but quite a bit if it is a dirt road and I wouldn't want to...

    Renting a spotter vs high end binos September Elk

    For years I used a compact pair of Pentex 12x25's and had no problems spotting elk at any range that I could tell that they were elk. I then started using some 10x42 Leopold Cascades, and replaced them with a 10x42 EL Swaro's. The only time that I felt that I needed more power was when I was...

    Renting a spotter vs high end binos September Elk

    I would just stick with what you have. If you don't care about rack size then a bull is a bull, and there is really no reason to pack the exte weight of the spotter. For myself I just depend on my 10x42 binoculars to see if I I want to chase after a animal. Now if I was trophy hunting then I...
