As you saw in my post, my teenage daughter and son both had tags (I did not), so we weren't necessarily looking for trophy bucks. We saw deer everywhere, and several bucks every day, so it was fun for the kids to see deer frequently, even in the middle of the day. The main challenge was finding...
Two of my teenage children drew Colorado 3rd rifle deer tags in GMU 3/301. I've not been to the unit before, so I'm e-scouting and planning for the hunt. At this point, I anticipate hunting only on public land, which appears to be predominately on the north and west sides of the unit. Any advice...
I just noticed that Jason Chaffetz is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the 2019 Western Hunting & Conservation expo.
Hmm...does anyone else see a disconnect here?

Didn't Randy draw an Utah archery mule deer tag in 2016? I've been waiting to see the video content from the hunt, but haven't seen any yet. Did I miss it somewhere?
elkkill2006,
I received your PM this time. Thanks for the info and insights - I appreciate your help!
Good luck to you on your hunts this year!
Thanks again.
I found out a day or two ago that I drew a Colorado GMU 60 muzzleloader elk tag. I'm trying to build points for elk in Colorado, so this hunt was a second choice on my application. I've never hunted the unit, which is relatively small geographically, and I've heard that very few bulls move down...
With Randy's passion for grouse hunting, I'd love to learn some of his tips on hunting, field dressing and cooking grouse. I'd welcome tips and tricks on other upland birds as well.
Agreed. I'd rather have them shoot well with a smaller caliber rifle than poorly with a larger rifle with more recoil. My first big game rifle was 300 Win Mag, given to me for my 14th birthday. Needless to say, it took me a couple of years to learn how to shoot it without flinching.
Is the .25-06 enough gun for elk? I've heard some good things about this caliber, but opinions seem mixed on whether it can reliably put elk down effectively and humanely. I have two young teenagers who will be hunting elk this year and I'm looking for a gun with low recoil. I'm apprehensive of...
I've hunted Utah's general muzzleloader elk season the past three years. I think it is a good opportunity to hunt elk with a reduced number of other hunters in the field. There might be an increase in muzzleloader hunters this year due to the change in Utah's already loose restrictions that now...
