In a couple of areas that I have hunted the rut is almost over the first week of November but in other areas it has a couple of weeks before it starts.
So a lot will depend on the area and the movement of the deer. If it is dependent on snow I would plan on hunting high and then move downward...
In most areas ranchers and farmers can legally shoot animals that are feeding or destroying their fields or crops. But after shooting the animal they have to report it.
The one in this thread was just a killing. Most poachers however rotten they are usually take something from the dead...
It usually turns out to be a 20 something male. With no regard to anything.
Sad part is that unless they start to brag or post some pictures they will never be caught
Back in the stone age just about any state and all the units were OTC... for both resident and non resident..
But then it was kind of hard to kill a deer and a elk with a rock.
Yep, where the Grizzly Creek fire is burning it is going to take a snow storm to put it out.
Right now the road to Deep Creek is closed and Sweetwater Canyon is on pre evacuation just in case.
Due to the fire on the south side of the canyon and slowly moving to the east my deer hunting...
Nothing on the reports this morning but it appears that the fire laid down pretty good last night.
Usually by this time 11 am the valley here is clogged with smoke and I become a mole inside my home. I actually got the lawn mowed this morning without coughing and gagging. My vehicles do...
I know that there are a number of us from Colorado on here and while I don't believe that anyone here hunts the area north of Glenwood Canyon I thought that I'd post some of the pictures that are coming out of the Glenwood Canyon area off of I-70.
It is believed that a flat tire throwing...
From what I have seen of trail camera pictures of a couple different states that are just as dry I would say that antler growth is coming along just fine
Anyone who lets sports get into the way of hunting/fishing isn't much of a hunter or fisherman.
While I like watching sports as much as the next person I much rather be hunting or fishing since you are really not involved in the outcome of the game that you might of watched if you were...
As I have gotten older I have found that hunting isn't about killing but the enjoyment of the hunt. How do you score that?
I'll go for years without killing a deer, but also in those years I pass up a lot of bucks that others will send a bullet at.
I have actually seen quite a few sets of antlers that would score real well if they were ever scored. Most are stored in the basements or out in the barns of old ranchers that could of cared less about the antlers but were looking for some food.
A lot of these animals were shot out of season...
I have been shooting Barnes bullets now for close to 30 years with zero problems with ranges from 30 yards out to a little over 700. Looking at the exit wounds of the animals it appears to me that all have had great expansion. The only Barnes bullet that I have recovered myself was a muzzle...
I haven't read anything about them but why would you want a all copper bullet to shed the pedals?
If it stays together it will have more frontal energy than it would if it shed them, plus shedding them will quite likely result in more meat damage due to bloodshot as they pass through the...
From what I have seen in my area the only ones laid off are hotel workers. Most everyone else is working but then I haven't walked into a restaurant or bar to see just what they are doing.
As for money it is like it has been reported, with the large unemployment check folks are getting they...
