I think that he was talking about what I used to do. I would put in for a elk point and then purchase a OTC bull elk tag to hunt on. For deer I would put in for a point and then get a leftover archery tag. I hunted deer and elk every year that I was building points for both. 14 points for...

If the fire is hot enough it will create a crust almost like dirty glass on the surface and plants have a heck of a time breaking through it. If this happens then the area will be quite barren until something happens to start breaking up that surface crust.

I've seen burn areas start to come back in weeks if not days depending on how hot the burn was. I've even seen elk and deer inside of burn areas munching on the fresh shoots of oak brush and other plants that survived as they are just starting to come out of the ground. I've know quite a few...

I should draw a Colorado muzzle loader deer tag for unit 44. Other than that I'll have a muzzle loader tag for Utah deer, I have no idea of just where I might go yet. Everything else is up to the draw gods..

Who needs to go to the expense of hunting them. Just pick them up while you are hunting pine cones. https://kobi5.com/news/local-news/massive-elk-antlers-found-2nd-largest-in-oregon-history-173949/

It is called wisdom which comes with age. I have found that as I get older I am accumulating more tools that just do a few jobs such as a press that takes the place of a large hammer.

Just so that the out of staters know, these wolves that are causing the problems now migrated into the state a few years ago. They haven't even started trapping wolves to dump into my backyard yet.

My biggest hope is that some of these wolves will migrate down through Rocky Mountain National Park and find the Boulder area to their liking.

I can't help much but in most states draws you cannot include a youth into a group application, they have to be put in by themselves

I'll have to see if I can find the report that some of the wolf reintroduction folks published that says all of the attacks on livestock and family pets is factitious.

I've seen rut activity start as mid October but it will depend on the area in my opinion

I'd hunt as late as possible, such as 3rd season. Quite often you will have snow that will start to push the animals down to the lower elevations where in the early seasons there are no animals. A great example of this is in unit 21 in Colorado. You might see one or two deer in the...

I personally believe that the tag prices are going to have to really go through the roof before their price starts to stop hunters from applying to hunt in other states. I look at what the price increase has been in Arizona for my javelina tag from what it was when I first started hunting...

44 has gone downhill in the last dozen years. I used to see nice bucks every winter, now I'll see very few. I'll hunt the muzzle loader hunt this year in it and I'll shoot the first 4pt that I see. But the last few hunts that I have hunted it I have seen more bears than I have buck deer and...

The bucks do leave the private but they are also smart. I watched one a number of years ago that wanted to chase some does but he very seldom left the security of the thick trees. Then just at dark thirty he came out and stayed out of the trees. I caught another one just before dark, and he...

Quite likely a neighbor hood bear. I've driven around a few areas and haven't spotted any tracks yet but he could of came out of the creek or river bottom.

A person can avoid at least one of those two problems.

I have found that as I get older that I need to watch where I step and how I do it. I learned this a couple of months ago when I slipped on some ice while shoveling snow. I came down on a planter box and cracked two ribs. They are close to being healed up now but I still need to watch what I...
