    Try this for whitetails

    I guess one other complaint I have is that I hunted the whole time hoping for snow and we never got any. Now I am headed to stare at my in-laws for thanksgiving and it snowed overnight. Oh well.

    Try this for whitetails

    I’m probably done for the season. There is a chance I will get out next Monday which is our last day. I only hunted a handful of days. I filled two tags and didn’t fill the last one but had some of the best days I’ve ever had hunting whitetails. I live in a place where you don’t see piles of...

    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    Congratulations. That looks like a nice place to hunt. I wish we had hardwood forests here. Sitting in a treestand on a nice fall day bowhunting whitetails over acorns sounds like a good way to spend a day.

    Try this for whitetails

    I am heading out to hunt this afternoon but I wanted to stop by that mock scrape I made and freshen it up in case my parents wanted to try hunting there. This guy was in the scrape when I got there. I plan on holding out for a nice one with my last tag and if this guy was in the area where my...

    Try this for whitetails

    If anyone is interested in trying a deer scent this is the one I used for the last buck I got. I’ve never had any luck with artificial scents and didn’t think they really worked. I bought this one on Amazon because it was relatively cheap compared to others. I had planned on using it as a...

    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    I’ve got one more tag for deer. It’s a draw tag for an antlered whitetail in a CWD quarantine area. It’s the same area I have hunted all my life but they found CWD there a year or two ago so now it has some special rules. I’m hoping to get out for that tag and am planning on holding out for a...

    Passthrough

    I’ve shot 8 bulls and two whitetails. Clean pass through on both deer. I haven’t had a pass through on an elk yet. Some of those arrows were in the off shoulder but maybe 5-6 of them were broadside shots that just didn’t go through. I’m shooting an arrow around 420 grains out of a bow shooting...

    2024-25 Whitetail Meat Pole

    I filled one of my three deer tags. I probably would have passed on this guy two weeks ago when I thought I would have lots of time to hunt in November. But my freezer is pretty empty and I spent 10 days laying on my couch with the new strain of Covid so I’m behind on projects and will probably...

    Rangely, CO

    You might want to hunt where the fire was. I was hunting an area near a spot where a large fire had been. I glassed across the canyon to the burned hillside looking at black ground and trees and watching an elk herd wander around. I went there the next day and there was elk sign all over and...

    When Do You Leave for Your Hunt?

    Dannyboy21 Nice bull. What’s everyone else have for hunts coming up? I missed all of September archery for the first time in 21 years. I have an any weapon season that runs for 5 days at the end of this month but I don’t think I’ll have time to hunt. Then I have late archery and late...

    I’ve also never been there but hopefully you have a good time and update us about how your hunt goes. I’m missing elk season this year and need the updates.

    Bull of a Lifetime

    This is my property with the LiDAR overlayed on the aerial photo. Once you get used to using it it can be pretty handy.

    Bull of a Lifetime

    There is a giant rabbit hole you can go down with LiDAR. I first saw it on a tv show where they were mapping jungles in South America and Central America and finding long lost temples and civilizations that have been swallowed up by the jungles for centuries. Pretty cool stuff.

    Bull of a Lifetime

    That’s a great bull and a great write up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with double drop times. My dad is 71 and has a heart condition and had a knee replacement last year. He can’t hunt like he used to but still gets out. Him and my mom have been going out and telling me about all the...

    Missing Elk Hunters in CO - Unit 81

    I saw where they were struck by lightning. Hopefully they didn’t feel a thing. I’ve been in the woods a few times when lightning storms have come up quick and caught me off guard. I’ve always put everything I have that’s metal in a pile and then I try to get low somewhere else. I don’t know what...
