Re: Muzzleloader Use in Colorado

All loose black powder, and sub loose powders are legal. There was a time when they thought of banning BH 209, but it never went through. What they did do, and not everybody is aware of it. They banned inline muzzleloaders for a year. They got so much pressure they gave in, and made them legal. They...

Re: WHATS YOUR 2015 HUNTING PLANS

I'm hoping to draw a muley buck tag for muzzy season. I'll be using a .45 Kentucky muzzleloader, PRB, and open sights.

Re: Gunnison Elk Hunt, gmu 55

For the record. 117 bulls, 38 cows, and 6 calves were killed last year in 55 for 2nd season. It had 1037 hunters for a lousy 16% success rate for last year, and a 14% average success rate for the last 5 years. It's actually much worse than that, because those numbers don't count the OTC hunters. Whi...

Re: Doe?

It doesn't work that way in Colorado. If you turn in a tag that was gotten in the draw, it doesn't go on the leftover list. It's just eliminated from the pool.

Re: Doe?

Well, there's been a change in plans for this year, and probably for future years. It seems the DOW is failing again. In 2005 the mule deer herd was 614,000. It's down to 390,000 now. That's a huge loss when you consider the DOW is trying to increase the size of the herd. They can try and blame natu...

Re: Doe?

I understood you. My point was they have reason to feel looked down on for killing a doe. It's because they are by many, and it's sad. It's usually the trophy hunters looking down on the doe hunters, and that was the reason I mentioned what I did about them. It's all so silly. We should all be stick...

I agree it is sad. What they don't realize is a lot of hunters look down on trophy hunters too.

Re: Doe?

The question was, are you hunting for does this year. It seems like deer forums are all about bucks. You only have to look at the number of does killed each year to know a lot of hunters are hunting them, but it's never talked about.

Re: Doe?

You do something every fall for 60 years. It's hard to give up. I guess i'm weak.

I'll still have my deer hunts too. :)

Re: Doe?

So much for retiring from elk. I plan to get an OTC bull tag. #-o
