I started putting in for Antelope PP's a long time ago just cause it was easy.
I now find I'm sitting on 8 PP's, and I may want to use them in 2021.
if anyone has a recommendation on destination, please let me know. I know most of the CO goat herd is east of 25.
from my review of the...
our camp of 5 will include:
one bull elk tag (my dad)
two guys with muley buck + bear tags (inc me)
one guy with a muley buck tag
hunting a draw only unit SW co, 2nd rifle.
we've been putting in for muley PP's FOREVER, so I'm glad we're finally cashing them in. :)
can't wait to be in...
we had planned to leave Sat am., but because of anticipated storms on Sunday, we're launching a day early for the mountains. decision was made this morning.
while I was already distracted and somewhat unproductive, we've moved completely off-radar and into counterproductive mode.
thank...
our group is all out of staters, first rifle. half cow, half bull tags.
7 of the 10 tags (a mix of youth/adult, and a mix of cow/bull) showed up a week ago. the other 3 havent shown up at all.
anyone else experiencing this? do I need to be calling CDOW to inquire?
I've seen a couple of these advertised online, but I have no experience with them.

I have hunted CO almost yearly since 2008.
we rifle hunt even # years in a draw only unit. some of us bowhunt an OTC unit in odd # years.
my group is thinking of trying Wyoming for rifle hunts in those odd # years.
I've driven across WY twice on family vacations to...

I got a hatchet some years ago at a garage sale, cheap. Didnt come with a sheath, and probably didnt HAVE to have one....
I have a pile of old gear in the garage that I challenge the kids/wife to sell on craigslist, or donate to Goodwill.

several new guys on our trip need to buy sock liners.
do yall know of a place to get a bunch at a good price? I used to get them at Academy, but they stopped carrying them.
REI sells the ones I really like, but they are $11/pair!
am I the only fool who wears silk socks while elk hunting...
it is generally agreed that elk wont be found without the following:
food
water
cover
general sense of security
[/list:u:2baivle4]
it is my specific theory that elk will tend to congregate most around whichever of the above is found in least abundance.
ie: if there is ample food, cover...
Building your own elk tent heater!!
- Shane White (aka Billy Goat)
Our elk camp is easily accessible by truck, so I don?t need a ?lightweight? heater. I just want one that works, and doesn?t cost a ton. This isn?t hard to do?.
My elk hunting buddy Erik and I use ?UDS? smokers to cook all our...
I know this has been answered about 400 times since BTO got started, can yall just post a link to a thread telling me how to post pictures?
I spent alot of time explaining how to build a pretty great tent heater, and without the pictures, the instructions make no sense at all. =/
thanks in...
I stand hunt for whitetails, but almost exclusively stalk when elk hunting (mostly for the scenery......). I have been on 7 elk trips and have harvested one. I normally get an opportunity or two on a typical trip. Just don\'t always close the deal..... =/
It would appear that many of you (ie...
I spend a TON of time staring at my maps, trying to pick the right place to be at a given hour.
I wonder if anyone here has ever seen a simple writeup of what elk are doing in a \"typical\" 24 hour day. is it too inconsistent to speculate?
I was thinking it\'d be handy to have an...
Since it was long-winded, I wrote this in word.doc to save for future use, and inserted pictures in the word document. The pictures may snarl the copy-paste, so if so, I\'ll make another post without pictures right below it.

Our ?group? of about 5-8 hunters ended...
I\'m specifically looking for answers from that 5% club that kills on a yearly basis.
you know who you are. I am not in the club, but would like to join someday.....
to you elk hunting brothers.
I\'m hunting 1st rifle, so I dont get to go for another 6 weeks, but I\'m hoping each of you does well/comes back safely/joins the 10% club.
and let me say it in advance...... \"pics please\"
:D
this is our first year to hunt out of a wall tent. we\'ll be camping around 9k-10k.
our present plan is to setup our kitchen area under an \"easy up\", which wouldnt have a floor. are we going to have a problem with ants, and if so, how do yall normally deal with them?
sorry for such a lame...
