    Colorado preference points & tag sell back.

    Seems like CO and being difficult to understand is a common denominator and I have a question for you season vets. It\'s regarding both drawing a tag AND tag sell back. To my understanding, the ONLY way you\'re gonna get a PP is if it\'s your number one choice, it cannot be in any other...

    Secret mission tomorrow

    I really want to take a barbary sheep with my bow and that isn\'t going to be easy! So I\'m going to try to pattern them a little better. Tomorrow I\'ll be heading out with my DSLR, two game cameras and a rifle. I plan on putting the cameras in two strategic spots, watching them for a few hours...

    Shoot?

    The bull is bedded 14 yards away, calm, but the wind is about to shift. You are behind a good tree that has a V in it. You can draw behind the tree and slowly creep to the center of the V allowing the shot. It\'s around 9am and the thermals are going to switch soon on you. The bull just bedded...

    Just applied for CO mule deer!

    Mind you I have no idea what I am doing, but I applied for a PP as my 1st choice and then zero-ish point units for my 2-4 choice!!!! The best part is they are all OTC elk areas too, so if I do draw and hunt them, then I can elk hunt too :upthumb:

    Mule deer and removing velvet

    In the areas you hunt, when do bucks generally rub their velvet off? Im putting in for all early season mule deer hunts and in the beginning they will most likely have velvet still. I was just hoping they would be losing it sometime early September!

    Smoke to mask scent?

    I have a buddy who will light a fire every morning and then dance around in the smoke because he says it masks his scent? Has anyone ever done this before hunting? Has my friend lost his mind? Thoughts?

    What do you do when they hang up?

    You\'re out there talking to a really active bull and get within 200 feet. All of a sudden he hangs up. The wind is good, so you know he didn\'t smell you. You weren\'t moving, so you know he didn\'t see you. Your gut tells you he is still around. It\'s been 5 minutes since his last...

    When you spook an elk

    For those of you who have been doing this for years, what happens when you spook an elk? When they bark (if that is what you would call an elk alert call?) do they run far before calming down? Can you let the area settle and expect elk back in there? Or do you let things settle down, check the...

    Colorado public land?

    I was wondering if some people could touch on rules regarding CO hunting land and camping. During your hunt, can you camp legally anywhere within the unit as long as its public land? Are there designated areas? Do they have laws regarding bivy camping or can you campout anywhere? Any...

    Turkeys and overcalling

    A lot of people talk about overcalling with turkeys. How do you \"talk\" to the birds? Do you just hit them with a few calls until you know they are interested? Do you have a spaced out sequence? Do you just wait for one to respond and then respond back?
