Bugle Report
We spent an hour or so in Rocky Mtn Natl Park one evening over the weekend in between other priorities - heard several bugles from one nice bull. He was busy keeping his cows lined up, and keeping a close watch on another couple bulls a little ways away. -

Backcountry Trash - Me venting
That is disturbing; not all that unusual but disturbing never-the-less. Pack it in pack it out should be just common sense, but you know what they say about common sense – ‘it ain’t all that common’. On another forum I visit frequently related to hiking Colorado’s highest peaks, someone noticed...- Alpine

Deer on an elk hunt
A doe showed herself while hunting elk. Apologies to the author of the the ‘Elk on a deer hunt’ thread; his story reminded me to share this ‘Deer on an elk hunt’ story from about a week ago. Not as happy an ending here. First rifle season in Colorado is elk-only. Two guys had shot this... -

Yep, I did see that. Question is: will it just be banging my head?- Alpine

Requesting changes to MVUMs
Frankly I am more concerned with the impacts this will have on the area than I am on us finding a new spot. But I did really like that spot! The choice becomes crowding in (no-one's idea of fun) and in a more sensitive area at that; OR creating a new site (more preferable to use existing sites...- Alpine

Requesting changes to MVUMs
I am hoping some of you can help me out by sharing your insight into the process for requesting changes to an MVUM. We have been going to the same Colorado GMU for 12 years, and camping in the same 1 or 2 spots every time. These spots are near the far end of a ‘camp road’ about 200 yards long...- Alpine

Trailhead etiquette?
Seems like the answers have been right on target, in my opinion. One other thing to consider which hasn't been brought up is this: not only to be considerate on the trail and in the field, but also with your parking. With such a small space, consider how you park your rig with respect to any... -

Ethics Question of the Day: Trail Cams whle hunting
To be fair to my dentist, and to the point that many have made here, he did admit that using the cameras during the hunt didn’t help them – they made their plans based on the info but then never saw any animals there. Like Joe Hulburt said above – it only showed them ‘where an elk used to be’... -

Ethics Question of the Day: Trail Cams whle hunting
So I was at the dentist yesterday and we were talking hunting (he was doing all the talking of course, since he had his hands in my mouth :) ) and he was telling me about their recent archery elk hunt. He mentioned in passing that they had a few trail cams set up in various locations in and... -

The best time of the year
Our plans are coming together. Had a planning meeting with the team, thinking about meals, logistics etc. We have been going to the same place for 10 years (or is it 11?), so we pretty much have it down by now. Just need to flex each year based on exactly who is coming. This year we have a... -

An Unsuccessful Second Elk Hunt
Nice story! A little disappointing in some ways I suppose, but generally if I see elk then I consider the trip a success in many ways. Like you said - a step in the right direction. -

Haha. Hope you don't think I was serious about you writing it wrong! -

Time for a new state! part 2
If something can be taken more than one way, I usually take it the wrong way, so when I read the title of the other thread, I assumed the OP wanted to create a new state. But No. So, since he wrote his question wrong, I figured it would be fun to dream a little on a Friday, so here goes...
