    When purchasing a license

    First I've heard of that. No SS# required here in Colorado. You do have to show a driver's license or provide it's number if buying on line.

    Monsoons Have Started.

    Looks like our monsoon season has started. I woke up to rain this am. Rained the last 2 days in the afternoon. Forecast is for clouds/rain for the next 5 days. We need the moisture for sure. All you archery hunter, come prepared for afternoon thunder, lightning and rain next month.

    Social media affects

    I totally agree with Hilltop 100%. I have passed on information, sometimes very specific information to members I trust via PM. There are some circumstances that justify it IMO. When it takes a massive amount of points to draw a unit and I drew it, knowing that at my age (78), I will never be...

    Moon phase and mule deer

    My experience is that mule deer are nocturnal most of the year, winter excepted. I have probably 100 to 150 mulies around my place and except for when there's snow on the ground, they feed early evening, all night and early morning. Weather plays a big role too. Wind, rain and snow will change...

    Wyoming unit 115

    I've hunted it several times, but always on private prop. Not the numbers of animals as other units, but I've seen some good bucks. The roads , as mentioned, can be a bitch.

    Sage grouse help

    Many years ago we used to shoot them in California near Mammoth in the High Sierras. I don't really remember, but seems like the meat was dark. I do remember that they were not really great eating, kinda tough and sagey flavored. It was about 60 years ago, so my memory might be a little...

    What would be your dream hunt?

    My Dad knew Roy and I used to go with him to their original shop in South Gate, Ca. When I started building custom pistol grips, I used to get a lot of "cutoff" wood from them to make the grips. I dated Ed's sister Diane a few times too. Nice gal, but just not my type!

    How much is too much?

    Depends on a lot of things. Last year I spent a month in Alaska with my wife fishing and just seeing the country. Went to Wyoming with a couple of hunting buddies for antelope and deer. All were affordable. I'll be 79 later this year and know I don't have all that many years left to hunt. This...

    Leaving tomorrow for Colorado Cowboy Shoot!

    It was fun, even tho I didn't get to shoot the 2 days. Got to spend some time with one of my buds who came from California to shoot with me. Got to catch up on a lot of things since we were antelope hunting together in Wyoming last October.

    Leaving tomorrow for Colorado Cowboy Shoot!

    I got to the shoot and during the first stage, my rotator cuff (the one I have been having trouble with) just wouldn't work, so I didn't shoot. Just was the scorekeeper all weekend.... My surgeon told me that I could have this problem occasionally. The only way to fix it is to do a "reverse"...
