    Colorado 4th Season Updates

    We hunted the same area in the same unit and same season I have hunted before for deer. I really like 4th season, but this year there were several things different. First thing that really jumped out for me was more hunters and camps. In past years there are usually 2 or 3 camps in the general...

    6.5 Creedmore Ammo

    I have been reloading so long that I really don't know the price difference between factory and my reloads. Used to that I reloaded for half the cost of factory. I could also save more if I bought in bulk when I found something for a cheaper price. Of course the other advantage is you can tailor...

    They make great breakfast sausage and that one looks to be the perfect size.

    2021 success Thread!!

    Just got back from our 4th season hunt. Myself and my hunting partner filled our tags. We saw lots of deer, but the rut was still not going hot. Just a few bucks around a few does. Saw no big bucks either. We both shot smaller bucks, but boy were they fat and in great shape. Will be some great...

    6.5 Creedmore Ammo

    Was at my local WalMart before my 4th season hunt and dropped by their sporting goods section. I did find some .22 LR and bought some. They also had some shotgun ammo, but their rifle and pistol ammo shelves were almost empty. You definately should consider reloading and the 6.5 C is the...

    Antelope Rangefinder

    Jim is spot on. I have a Swaro bino/RF combination and it reads to 1500 yards IF I find something really reflective. I really does a great job on almost anything less than 1000 yards.

    A New Rifle....

    Well gun manufacturers like to stimulate the gun buyers world with new products every few years. It is called marketing. I am well up in years and remember lots of new stuff that was marketed as the next greatest caliber, scope or gun. Remember the .17 Remington centerfire, .264 Mag , .222...

    Nikon Scope Issues

    I am a big Leupold fan as a lot of you know. They have great optics and stand behind their product. They are priced very reasonably for what you get.

    The Rut is Kicking In - Colorado

    Looks like we might get a break for 4 th season. Here in SW Colorado the weather forecast is for snow & rain for Tuesday, the day before opener. I hope we get an inch or two, that will make Wednesday much better. Every track will be fresh and it is sure a hell of a lot easier to see them when...

    Your favorite hunting photo!

    One of my Dad's friends was a professional photographer. He took a lot of pictures of our hunting trips for years. He took both of these. My Dad was a great man and yes he had a lot of patience. He taught hunt safety for 50 years, he needed it for sure!

    Nikon Scope Issues

    Nikon has been limping along for years living on their reputation for 35 MM cameras they made 40 years or so ago.

    Nikon Scope Issues

    How big were the groups? How many rounds did you shoot since you cleaned the barrel? Did it shoot acceptable groups previously with the same ammo?

    So in this instance, what does "mitigation" mean?

    Arctic Air ( Mike and Shiela Spisak ) & Outdoor International - Buyer Beware!

    I've posted about this before (about 10 years ago) but I'll repeat it again. I had always heard that hunting Thorofare in Wyoming's Teton Wilderness was the adventure of a lifetime. I knew several friends who had hunted it years earlier for elk and deer and had a great hunt. I researched...

    Colorado Survey

    For me just limit the number of OTC tags and leave the NR/Res split the way it is now. There is no question that Colorado P & W lives on the NR fees it gets. If the tag numbers are cut, I am sure they will raise the price for tags to NR/Res alike.
