    Rifle scope?

    I need to change my eastern deer scope for a western elk scope. The outfitter told me shots in his area range out to 250 yds. Right now I have a 3x9 scope. What do you recommend?

    Elk hunt - my last rodeo?

    I have booked an elk hunt with an outfitter (one that doesn\'t involve horses) as the most efficient way for me to go. I turn 68 this year and who knows how many more years the Lord will give me. Anyway, going to CO GMU 70 to hunt a private ranch 1st rifle. Costly? Sure, but who knows how many...

    4th rifle season

    I have an opportunity to hunt a private ranch in CO GMU 79 during 4th rifle. They claim there\'s lots of elk left roaming around then. Fact or fiction? And what is the weather usually like then? Not afraid of snow or cold, just not excited about driving x-country that time of year.

    Friend and I were on a overnight BP trip here in PA. Came across this critter, about 20 yds away.

    220 yard bow shot?

    OK, the other day I succumbed to the lure of one of those elk hunting videos. On one of the hunts, they spotted a bull at 500 yds and set about closing ground to where the one guy says \"we need to get to at least 220 yards because that\'s (name) maximum range\". Now they managed to get much...

    Eberlestock packs

    I am looking at the V90 pack, don\'t think the V69 is big enough, as we plan on staying out 5-6 days at a time. If you have one, what do you think of them?

    Monsoon season?

    I\'ve been monitoring the weather in the area where we plan on hunting, and 9 of the next 10 days all list showers and T-storms, with a flash flood warning. Typical for this time of year or something more ominous?

    Which broadhead?

    I was going to use Slick Trick 100\'s but then I tried the Muzzy Trocar 100\'s. Both fly well. Any preferences?

    How, if you de-bone, do you pack out the quarters and still maintain sex proof attached? Any videos on this?

    Elk processing

    If I get blessed with an elk, can someone recommend a meat processor from oh, say, Rifle east along Rt 70, or nearby towns?

    Trout streams in the Raggeds?

    Are there any good streams, or do they all hold natives?

    Reading a topo map

    OK, I received the map of the area where we are planning to go, and have pinpointed a general area. There are a couple of streams, some awfully high peaks (11 - 12k), and a few benches. Where would you start?

    Reading the stats

    Beings I\'m not from CO and this is my first time, how do you make any sense of the number of PP\'s needed to draw a license? Take a look at <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\"...

    Tire Chains?

    Don\'t know if this is the right forum but I\'ve been told I am required (strongly suggested?) that I should have chains for my truck, even in the bow season? If I don\'t have to spend the money I\'d rather not.

    Cookware/stoves

    For you backpackers out there, what kind of cookware and stoves do you carry? I\'m weighing everything to save ounces. I have a Jet Boil and a coffee cup, a spork, and a small teflon fry pan (4 3/4 oz). What do use to eat your meals out of?

    Hunt in the rain?

    I noticed in Brad\'s journal from last year he mentioned numerous times about hunting in the rain. I know there was a lot of rain in CO last year but is that something you normally do? Back east, bow hunters almost never hunt in rain or wet conditions.

    Elk vs. deer, how close can I get?

    Back here in PA, hunting whitetails, on the ground, I know it is almost impossible to get within 30 yds and be ready to shoot (position, draw the bow, HOLD the draw 30 - 45 seconds) and not get busted by a wary doe or buck (unless you are in a blind or in possible rutting time). So, are elk any...

    Calling-how often?

    Do you call to attract elk even if you haven\'t heard any? How often should you call (bugle or cow mew)? If one answers do you keep calling? Thanks!

    My dumb question re: mountain lions

    Do you pack a handgun when bow hunting in CO? I\'m not concerned with bears so much as I am with mountain lions. I\'ve hiked around out there and found some nice tracks, which caused me concern.
