Colorado GMu 81 Road & Trail Conditions
Beetle kill is seriously bad up the Conejos canyon, even in the backcountry. I believe Conejos Canyon Outfitters have Adams Fork in their boundaries and run a camp up there, at least they used to. Not sure where your seeing guys on Motorcycles in the wilderness cutting trees but wheeled... -

How much do you value your residency
I was a resident of Colorado for 41 years. When I retired in 2015 I did some calculations on how much Colorado was going to tax my retirement. I bought a house, live and work in San Antonio Texas now. It is cheaper for me to live in TX and hunt Colorado every year than it is to live in...- coelk81

Colorado points
The scenario where the person who drew a 5+ point tag did pay for it in time, or turned it back in, the next 1-3 or 5 people in line didn't respond. That is where a 5+ point tag ends up in the leftover draw. I may be combining the leftover and the reissue tags in the same boat, but I think...- coelk81

Colorado points
It is NOT confusing really. The leftover draw only affects points on units where it takes 5 or more points to draw. Otherwise you buy a preference point as first choice, then draw a second or third choice or OTC and go hunt. Not rocket science. In all seriousness the colorado big game...- coelk81

THOR-one size fits all?
After using the sizing kit, I ordered a pack of .501 and the one size fits all. They both loaded with the same amount of resistance/pressure. They both grouped the same out of my CVA Optima. I was using 300 gr bullets with 100gr of blackhorn 209. In other words they both worked the same for me.- coelk81

Beetle Kills/CO Unit 81
The beetle kill is pretty bad up the Conejos Canyon and a few other places. Compared to last year I would say it has increased quite a bit. I was driving up up FR 105 and realized that the only green patches were the aspens. Pretty sad state. However the only fix would be fire, but a fire up...
