Cold weather boots - Got a pair of the mountaineers recently and started to break them in over my vegetarian brother in laws cow elk hunt here this past 2 nd rifle season here in Co.. Yep…. No we did not get one as we could not find a cow elk, w/o a calf, in an open field. We found all 3 juat...

Thanks fellas, I got the bull at just shy of 13k ft.. I joked w my buddy who helped pack it out that it would be close and took the shot right at 12,800’. 380 yd shot he rolled over 200 yds and broke parts of 4 points on the roll but he will still eat just the same! Not a giant bull but even...

Thanks guys. It sure was a nice day and it’s always helpful when the elk cooperate as well. Good luck to those guys who still have tags.

I was able to fill the freezer w this bull opening morning.. Had some good friends thankfully help w the looong pack out.

You are not the only one who scored a bull tag today. Both you and I are happy man……. First rifle bull for me.. Now I just got to figure out what end of a rifle the bullet comes out of. I guess ya only make that mistake once! 😳😂🤦🏼‍♂️

System is what it is. It could be improved as now it is very unfair to residents but I don’t mind the way it is. With that said it might be because I have killed 2 - 200+ bucks and an almost 190” on returned licenses in the past 6-8 years 😂👍. Got my tag in hand already this year so not...

Man, it can be frustrating = Co is what it is and there are lots of folks that will be super excited tomorrow when they get a tag.. A lot of folks are after cow/bear tags w several available or ya got a better shot there than the 10+ point tags that will no doubt go to bots.. I have said it...

Think Cowboy has it figured out… Or adults can draw in the secondary = draw know quite a few folks that did. I for one don’t mind point creep at all = as it is just part of the deal in Co. Just don’t see it as that much of a problem. Keeps the lemmings at bay while they search for a unit that...

Well seems my wife got a email from cpw and put herself in unbeknown to me 🤦🏼‍♂️. Should have never showed her how to do it. Well she does not read the regs ever and put in for rifle bull tag w 2 licenses and for a buck tag w 1 license…. Didn’t have the heart to tell her she is showing up to...

Only problem I got w it is all Co tags should be given out at the 75-25% split including the youth, returned, and second draw…. Travesty that NR youth outdraw Residents.. Had a real good buddy’s daughter get an early mulie tag off the list last year. As a family they worked their ass off =...

I got an archery buck tag…. Sure hope to see a couple I am wondering about return… Entire family got creeped on elk so will be looking for tags outside the draw. My soon to be 80 year old father will get a local late season cow tag, hope for a first season bull tag for the wife, and something...

Just over 3” on my parents rain gauge here in BV in the past 10 days 😳 = that is a ton for early May like once in 20 years. Green green green here!! Rivers are high and surfing is 👌.

The only hunt I am planning on is an archery mule deer tag in Colo… Wife is 50/50 if she will draw a rifle bull tag.. My 79 year old father will hopefully draw a late season cow tag. Daughter will be 12 at the end of September and already passed hunters Ed so hope to turn up a deer and elk...

Great recap thanks! Most of it went as expected and the trophy tags were not ever gained by residents just not lost as the 80-20 was status quo.. The commissioners asking for a working group to address creep is interesting. 5 year will be here soon… The make up of the commission is a wild...

I use tennis shoes w low gaiters about 90% of the time or right up to where snow is an issue. A friend got me using the Solomon speed cross pry 8 or so years ago. You have to get your lower leg strength there but once I do they work. Have since switched to speed goat gtx by Hoka as with a...
