    I'd like to learn a little about bowhunting. I'm thinking of getting into it, but I've never done it before. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good book or two I could read?

    I'm just curious, What do the experienced hunters on here think about the "Huntin' Fool" and/or "Epic Outdoors" when used as resources for hunting info? I see them referred to occasionally on this forum but no real discussion as to whether on not they are useful, reliable, accurate, etc. Any...

    Favorite Long Range Rifle

    We've had some very interesting posts lately asking about favorite "all around calibers", etc. I've always hunted with the same 30-06 and am very happy with it; but, some of our discussions got me thinking about possibly getting a rifle that's capable of reaching out a little further. So I...

    Outfitter/Guide for Black Bear?

    After the input I received (thanks!) on a previous thread it looks like my best shot at getting a Black Bear is going on a guided hunt (for many reasons). Do you guys know any Black Bear guides you'd recommend? I live in Colorado so maybe somewhere around here ... Wyoming, Montana, etc?

    Black Bear Hunting

    Hey guys, My wife wants me to get a Black Bear rug ... lucky me! I usually get a bear tag when I hunt deer or elk but I've never hunted specifically for a bear ... and I've never gotten one. Since I live in Colorado there's no baiting etc. I was thinking about maybe hiring a guide. Do you...

    all around caliber

    Since you ask, I've taken a number of elk. I've used my 30-06 for all of them. Here's my latest from 2 weeks ago. The shot was quartering away at 440 yards. I knew my 30-06 would drive the bullet up into his vitals. I would not have tried that shot with a .243. But to each his own. If...

    2017 elk success thread, post em up

    I had success on a bull elk during Colorado’s 2nd season. On Saturday evening (first day of the season and my 60th birthday) about an hour before sunset my hunting partner and I saw a bull from a ridgeline about 1,500 feet above him. He was down in the bottom of a nasty ravine. There was a...
