    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    I remember many moons ago when my dad went into Mexico to work and of course my mom and us two kids followed. She had a complete record of our immunizations that she carried, and I remember the border guard one time asking about some kind of shots as we crossed the border. I'm not sure if he...

    How many of you will get the Covid shot?

    Since I am in the higher risk group I'll get it, but I do know of some that don't believe in shots to prevent a problem that they don't have. I saw the tentative list on first to last on who gets the shots and those in the state prison system are up there at 3 or 4 on the list if not hightr.

    OTC Elk

    The point draw system in Colorado is simple. If you look at the odds report and it says that a unit takes 10 points to draw, then it takes 10 points to draw. It is likely that there are no second choice tags let out in those type of units. However if there is a unit that only takes 1 or 2...

    OTC Elk

    You can only hunt one season and not both. So you will need to decide on which time frame you want to hunt. Second season will be the busiest with the most hunters. Third season you may have more weather to contend with since it starts in November. The OTC tags will be on sale next spring, I...

    When you realize you are getting old!

    I still have my tonsils and appendix, but did have a knee reconstructed when I blew it out years ago along with sinus surgery that cleaned out 59 years of gunk...

    Hmmm

    People were breaking down doors to get a license or tag this last year. There were lots of them that haven't hunted in years, they were worried about the Covid stuff and wanted to make sure that they had enough meat to survive. Then when all the panic buying died down and they found that they...

    Breaking in a new rifle barral

    There are dozen of different ideas on how to break one in. My last rifle I cleaned it when I got home. Then I took it to the range and shot 5 shots spaced way apart so as not to even think of heating up the barrel, I then cleaned it again. After I cleaned it I shot it another 5 times...

    Official Post Padding Thread

    I got lucky 30 or so years ago and picked up a tag just in case I saw one. This one was chasing a grizzly around just outside of Yellowstone, he was giving that bear a piece of his mind.

    WOOHOO!!!! My 2 new guns came today.

    I can see you at the BBQ now asking if someone would like a little extra salt on their burger, or a little salt onto their celery. One thing, check them out and make sure that they work. My brother in law purchased one a year ago in October and didn't try it until this past summer. He found...

    Northwest legal muzzleloader

    The problem is that you need to look at each state and deal with them differently. I am covered in all of them. I have a .54 Thompson Center Renegade side lock where I use Prodex and a solid 430 grain maxi ball.... this rife is legal in all the states that I know of. I also have a .50...

    jocularity

    The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was...

    Pellet Gun

    I asked that very question a few years ago on another forum and came up with a few rifles to look at. I ended up getting a RWS 460 Magnum in .22 cal. It is a great little rifle and quite easily takes Eurasian doves at 40-50 yards. But at that range I need to go for a body shot but out to 40...

    To my hunting partner

    I agree, life is way too short to not appreciate those who mean so much to us. I've lost two of those type of people this year and they both affected me in different ways. Just remember that your dad is in a better place with no more pain and will always be with you.

    Information on Wolves & What Happens Now In Colorado

    The problem here in Colorado is that the same people that managed to get wolves onto the ballot this last year will also quite likely push for them not to be hunted. These are the same people who banned leg hold traps, spring bear hunts, and got the law passed that if you trap, or shoot a...
