I am circulating referendum petitions for signatures for this initiative. I decided to do something about this wolf disaster besides talking about it. So far down here in SW Colorado the response has been positive and I have met a lot of people (hunters and nonhunters) who are fed up too. If you...

A week or so to go, then we start to know what we are going to do here in Colorado!

Anyone shopped where the new 6.5% tax is applied? Heard some retailers are charging it on hunting equipment (eg. clothing, binos. etc), it's only supposed to be charged for purchase of guns, ammo, and gun parts in my understanding.

I have had some chronic back issues that have gotten worse as I have aged. I have had one surgery (it helped SOME!) and my back Dr says he won't do any more surgeries. He suggested back Ablations, which is electronic burning of the nerve where the pain originates. It is an involved process that...

The Trump administration is studying the idea of liquidating public lands to private investors to fund something called Sovereign Wealth Fund. Trump quietly signed an Executive Order (Secretarial Order #3418 "Unleashing American Energy" ) that orders Sec of the Interior begin a review of all...

Spent the weekend thinking about my 2025 Elk, Deer & Antelope hunting here in Colorado. Pretty much made up my mind what tags I am applying for and where I want to hunt. No Wyoming this year....point for deer and antelope only. How about you?

Got my new hunting booklet Friday and noticed a change in the requirements for a disabled veteran license. If you are rated 50% or greater disabled, you are now able to get a lifetime small game and fishing license combo for free, just apply with the proper documentation. The old disability...

We have our first snow here in SW Colorado since the first week of November. It has been snowing since about midnight and still coming down. Just got back in the house after brooming off out sat dish and there is about 6" on the ground. I will have to plow our access road sometime this morning...

WOW.....woke up this morning to a white Christmas. Got a little snow last night, first we have had since early November (remember my 3rd season elk/deer hunt got snowed out!). Won't last, it's been too warm. Santa blessed us.

In the 25 years I have lived in SW Colorado almost all of the geese I see are Canada's and a few Cacklers. I see a few specs and snows, but usually on a cold year when they migrate early thru here. Yesterday I saw a single Ross in with a bunch of Honkers. I know it was a Ross by it's small...

Our local Safeway Market has it's prime rib roasts on sale. I bought one last night for less than $6.00/lb. It weighted almost 20# and cost me $106.00. I cut off the rib section and cut 16 ribeye steaks off the rest. I am going to grill the ribs this weekend and vacume packed the steaks...

I have never been on a guided elk hunt here in Colorado. I have 12 points and I am looking for suggestions from Forum members who have actually been with the outfitter they are suggesting. I don't think I can do anymore wilderness hunts as my 83 year old body is wearing out! I have been on...

Packing the last food and getting ready to leaving early tomorrow morning. 3rd season opens Saturday and me and my hunting partner each have an elk tag and I have a deer tag too.

For the last 2 days the hunters are here! 2nd season open Saturday and I have seen lots of hunters in town. Was in Big R yesterday afternoon and they were lined up getting their OTC Bull Elk tags. Weather is going to be really nice....clear shies, no wind and cool at night. Lots of new snow in...

This weekend should be great for deer & elk hunters here in SW Colorado. We have snow now at the higher altitudes and rain at lower elevations. I have heard that the elk are starting to move around more now that the hot weather has left. Those that have first season tags should be prepared for...
