    Colorado 4th Season Updates

    Curious how the 4th season went for some of you others? I just got back from my 4th season hunt and it was the worst season I've had in 8 years of hunting Colorado. I use that term loosely because its never bad. But we bumped 1 non-legal bull in 5 days of beating the bush. Put on 10-12 miles a...

    Nikon Scope Issues

    In preparation for my late season elk hunt, I was doing some shooting with my .300 WSM which has a Nikon Buckmaster II 4x12 on it. In the past I had issues holding a group.

    Montana First Time

    Trying to put together a 2022 archery elk hunt. Montana is top of the list currently. Can anyone shed some light on the application/draw process and the points system.

    Elk Mounts

    I just got back from an elk hunt with my father and 2 close friends. We were able to harvest 2 nice bulls, in my opinion. My dad being the type of guy that appreciates and understands what goes into harvesting the animal wants us to shoulder mount them both. He shot a nice 5x6 bull last year...
