    Thanks gents. I was there over the weekend. Big country, and lots of vertical feet. Thanks for the insight on the burn area. I'll keep posting and let you know how it goes.

    Colorado GMU 49

    I pulled a first season rifle bull tag in Colorado GMU 49, between Leadville and Fairplay. Anyone hunted it, and have any insights on how to approach the hunt? Here's what I'm thinking so far: 1. Focus on the south end of the unit, Fairplay side, in the lower part of the Buffalo Peaks...

    Where to Hunt Hogs w/in 12 Hrs of Denver

    Hey all. Thanks for the suggestions. @rmyoun1 -- hogs are better eating than black bear, and probably less smelly. @montexan -- I'm not going to share the name of the place because I don't want to hurt the man's business. The hunt was high quality, and the problems we had were unique and...

    2017 Solo Elk

    You gotta go get these suckers, don't you? Good work. My heart is in these types of solo hunts -- for the mental battle as much as anything. It's not easy to stick with it in the woods alone, especially when the snow starts to fly.

    Hunt elk every year - a primer

    "In Colorado, try not to accumulate many elk points. The marginal benefit to each point is very small once you get above five points. Burn those points and go hunt." That's the truth. I'm at 7 points now, will wait until I have 8, and have a plan to hunt 2016. Should be able to get into a 350...

    Laziness Pays Off

    And I don't blame you for waiting out the sleet. That stuff soaks a guy real quick, and makes for a miserable (and possibly dangerous) hunt.

    Laziness Pays Off

    Nothing like being able to back the truck up to a hill and rest the tail gate on it to skid one down and right in. It's been a few years since I've had an elk like that. Good work and way to get in the woods with your wife.

    First Elk

    Twofer! Nice work. You broke your drought in grand fashion. Looks like some steep and brushy country you pulled those bulls out of. I'll bet you were happy to be back to the truck with the coolers full of meat. Congratulations.
