Dang! I am jealous! Being in the Navy I have limited hunting time and funds so I will be putting in for elk and deer in Colorado only. Maybe when I retire I'll be able to hunt some other states. Good luck all on your draws.

Sounds like the round you are shooting is made more for long distance (greater than 100 yards) because it appears it is passing through without expanding at all. I'm not sure of the brand or name but there is a bullet on the market that is designed to fragment immediately after impact. I know it is ...

Not speaking on fact but I believe the reason you can't hunt during the rut anymore is because of the decline in the mule deer population throughout the western states. A few years back we could hunt the 4th rifle season in Colo for deer but no more. That is when the rut was hard and heavy. Now we h...

Looks pretty good. I like that you can get the red lens with it and the price is fair. Unfortunately, they are out of the blaze orange at the moment. I'm still using my mini mag with the clip on the bill of my hat. Just may have to show up next year with some of this new fandangle technology and ama...

I would love for one of these PETA crackheads to try and pass that crap out to my 4 yo grandson. In front of me no less.

I don't know of any pics, didn't have a camera with me when I dropped mine off. As far as having the wrong unit, I am going off what the tag said. Second season of the rifle hunt in Unit 571 in Colo. Wish I could provide more info. Maybe someone in the Colo Springs area can stop by and follow up a b...

Monster spotted!

While dropping off my deer at the taxidermist this year I spied a monster that was already there. The only info I know is it was shot in Unit 571 in the second season in Colorado. Typical 4 point with a kicker on the left side that was scored at 219 3/4" with a spread of just under 40"! Without the ...

Bow Nut has a point. Bows get better and better each year. But on the counter point... The bow you have worked just fine when it was new and is so much better than what the Indians had many, many years ago. Can you still take game with it? Sure. Are there better bows on the market now? Yes. Comes do...

I hunted NE Washington a few years back, about as far east and north in the state you could go. Tough hunting as the forest is so thick. What I found worked for me was to scout around and find the trails the deer used to come out of their bedding areas on the way down to water and food. Plenty of pu...
