    How much snow is to much??

    Well I am back from the field. The only elk that was seen was the ones hanging from the meat poles of other camps. It seems that opening morning a heard fed out in the middle of a few camps. Was told it was a blood bath. Over 12 elk taken in the first few hours of the opener. I didn’t arrive...

    How much snow is to much??

    I guess either way it is going to be a lot of hiking and glassing. Weather reports say highs will be high 40 - 50 and lows in 19 to mid 20's. It's a new area so i am not going to exect a lot. just get out and enjoy hiking with my gun.

    How much snow is to much??

    this is a new area that i am hunting and I was told by an "old timer" that when there is a foot of snow they elk have trouble getting down to feed. so they start heading lower. Being as i never thought of how deep it would have to be before the really start to head down i figure i would ping...

    CO Elk Camp 2012.. And so the adventure begins

    I decided to return for one more try to fill my tags. Departed Friday night to be at the trailhead before sunrise. Figure I would climb high and glass the hidden bowls on the BLM land. Just as I started to head out another group of hunters arrived, jumped out and jogged off ahead of me. Turned...

    CO Elk Camp 2012.. And so the adventure begins

    Wednesday 10-24 My friend and I are back off to the BLM land to look over another section in that area for deer. This area is pretty open with patches of scrub oak and pinion pine which is similar to the country we are use to hunting. Group B set out from camp to walk the heavy timber again...

    CO Elk Camp 2012.. And so the adventure begins

    Tuesday 10-23 Up early and heading out in a new direction from camp. The other two in the party of 6 now, saw deer and a cow elk a mile below camp. I am starting to think that I set up base camp a little too high. However, I would rather camp a quarter mile from the top and be able to glass down...

    CO Elk Camp 2012.. And so the adventure begins

    Monday 10-22 Finally got everyone out of bed and heading to the BLM land. I wanted to be in glassing position BEFORE light and it was a two mile hike to get back to where I wanted to glass from. Last year this turned up 100 elk, to bad all I had was a deer tag. Tried to help out two other...

    would you buy a new remington

    Stay away from the 770, the action closes up nice but has a lot of play in the bolt when fully opened. It is hard to beat the 700. Last year I picked up a TC Ventura in 30-60 for a guided hunt with my Dad and brother in laws. Was dead on at 360 on a 390 bull. In the process of building a 300...
