    Sig Sauer Kilo 2000

    A trick to use with any rangefinder if you are having problems locking onto the animal at extended ranges is to use a rock near the animal. It will reflect the laser easier than a animals hide will.

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    It would be nice if most of the states would standardize the hunter safety requirements. Here in Colorado if you were born before 1949 you are exempt, other states if you are older that 18 you are exempt, others say that you plain need it if you are under 18 or so but after that you don't...

    Africa 2021

    Actually the hunt itself along with a few other animals is the cheap part. All of which can be done for less than $10,000. Most outfitters in South Africa have specials with up to 8 or so animals on the list and then you can do a alacart type where if you see a animal that you want to shoot...

    Grinders, Slicers, and the rest......

    I have a friend up in Wyoming who is going on 2600 lbs of meat through a $100 Northern Tool 1/2 hp grinder in 8 years.

    How Young Is Too Young (To Hunt)

    On hunter safety I think that they should ban the parents from the classes and test, both the written and range ones. The kids will never learn if their parents are answering the questions and I saw one instance where they allowed a parent to actually do the range shooting for the kid. On a...

    Best hunting binoculars?

    I would be looking at Leupold or Vortex for under a grand. $500 will get you a nice pair of either. Then I suppose that you would like to know the power, and on this I would suggest a pair of 10x42's which is the most popular. Stay away from compacts and ones that you need someone to pack for...

    colorado mule deer-rifle-unit 15

    For units 22 and 21 the migration kicked in way late since there were no storms up high until the start of second season. From what I have heard it was a very weird year trying to get into animals. My brother in law did tag out in 21 but we saw very few bucks.

    Just can't fix stupid...

    Or does he say that he arrowed a bull but couldn't recover it? I hunted with one of them for a couple of years. One year he said that he stuck a big bull real good and then lost him, 4 of us went up to where he said that he shot it at and asked him where the blood trail started? He walked...

    Snow in SW Colorado

    I was surprised when I went out this morning, I looked out the window and figured that I had a inch or so, it turned out to be 4-6. My sister called me from Utah where I am headed tomorrow and warned me of the upcoming storms and that I should perhaps head over today but I've been fighting a...

    Midway - Worth The Watch?

    From what I have read of the reviews it isn't worth going to. It sounds a lot like the Pearl Harbor movie.

    I read that article and was wondering what goes on up there. It was also interesting that a couple of them shot themselves in the foot. Darwin at his best

    Don't put all your faith in onx!

    The problem with roads on any data base is that if they don't carry a county, state, forest service, or a BLM road number you have no idea if it is legal to use. Last month while I was hunting in north west Colorado there were a lot of roads that were on my OnX maps on my GPS, they were also...

    Don't put all your faith in onx!

    A lot of fences years ago were put up after a survey had been done. I worked for a surveying company back in high school and hiked all over the mountains of Utah verifying corner pins and such then stringing a line right on the property line for when the fence company showed up to install the...
