Question on the Colorado Ranching for Wildlife Program
When I lived in CO I loved the RFW cow hunts. Great fun with my wife. Would love to be a resident again to get my kids out on a good starter hunt. Also the habitat work done on that ranch was amazing. We saw a huge variety of game birds, bears, rabbits, deer, elk, bears etc. -

What a way to start the wisconsin first ever elk hunt
Wisconsin has many ethically challenged hunters. Maybe that’s true everywhere but I’ve seen some ugly stuff on public land. Tons of trespassing on private too. My personal favorite is watching the chat boards after the seasons close. It’s either “look at my huge buck I’m the best hunter... -

Supplements? Worth it or not?

Corned Elk Hash
One more vote for Hank Shaw's Corning recipe. This recipe is also my absolute favorite treatment for goose breast. My kids now beg me to hunt geese. Semi-pro tip... once your corned meat is sufficiently boiled...toss it on a smoker for 45 minutes. Winner winner Saint Patrick's day dinner- Sconie

Hello from Jones in Colorado
Hey Jones - Can’t help you with the land owner piece...but for what it’s worth I just went through the same learning process in CO. What ended up turning some tags into actual chops was the ranching for wildlife program. If you are willing to start by hunting antlerless...these hunts can be... -
