    Colorado 44 2nd season

    Still snowing here in Eagle County and they are predicting another 3" in the valley, the mountains are getting hammered. It is suppose to stop Wednesday and get real cold in the minus temperatures and then warm up Thursday through the weekend. It is going to be a very interesting 3rd season

    On The Go Hunting Maps

    It was quite interesting, I told them where the Colorado border and what ranch owned the property that they planned to hunt along with telling them that they were camping on Reservation land. I also told them that if they moved their camp to the base of the hill then they would be on BLM land...

    On The Go Hunting Maps

    I mainly use maps for checking private property. I then resort to a GPS for my location if I am getting close. A few years ago I found that I had been hunting on Reservation land that wasn't marked on a map. I found this out by using a GPS and OnX. I also notified some other hunters who were...

    Who else is...

    I did a complete workout today. Shoveled 120' drive way of 5" of wet heavy snow. I had to take 2 sit downs to get it accomplished. I then installed the plow onto my ATV in anticipation of the upcoming storm.o_O

    GETTIN OLD.......

    Good luck with it Roger, we are getting there. I know that it takes me a little bit longer to get moving now days and I am only 66. However I saw age really catch up with my brother in law on this last deer hunt and he'll be 80 this coming February. It is sad when you just can't do the...

    The 2019 Mule Deer Success Thread!

    I didn't even think of getting a side view of his antlers or of one holing his head up once I got back to camp. We did have a few other hunters spot the antlers from the road 50 yards away and come into our camp to check him out. I'm going through the town where the antlers are at now waiting...

    2019 OTC 2nd rifle elk

    Any elk hunt where you go in blind not knowing what to expect is going to be a tough one. Even after you get to know a area and what the elk are doing it can get real tough finding them. Bears are the same way. Most of the bear tags sold OTC for the season during your elk and deer hunts are...

    Jack O'Conner/Outdoor Life magazine

    There are a lot of writers that are now gone that the writers of today couldn't even change their typewriter ribbons for them. I had a subscription to Sports Afield until they were bought out by the bicycle folks and changed the format and I didn't go back when it was sold again and changed...

    Jack O'Conner/Outdoor Life magazine

    Magazines back then were read cover to cover and then passed along to someone who couldn't afford them. Even now most of my outdoor magazines have been sent overseas to our troops who love them. Sadly the person that I was sending them to passed away a couple of weeks ago so now I need to find...

    Leaving In The AM

    Only problem with those birds is that we would only have 3-4 days to hunt them and by the time we get there they hold tighter than a pair of tighty whities. We have tried it a couple of times with no success, and when your primary target is those stink pigs it makes it tough to pack a shotgun.

    This really isn't a joke but should be a option on any hunting catalog website.

    Jack O'Conner/Outdoor Life magazine

    The only thing that I had against O'Connor was that he was a .270 man at the time I was a 30-06 person. But you have to give him credit, he was one heck of a shot and a hunter and his stories will entrance you. I remember reading them all back in the 60's and would never pass up the...
