I killed my first elk (spike bull) in 2008, I was shooting my dad’s Remington semi auto 270 win. I was shooting the 130 grain Sciroccos. I shot the elk at about 80 yards through the lungs, he went about 60 yards and fell over. Never thought I’d come across a thread discussing that round, it...
Open sight muzzy is my favorite, tags are easier to draw than rifle(sometimes easier than archery). I enjoy the fact that I need to get closer than with a rifle, but I have more range than a bow.
Never set foot in 21 or 22. Most people say there down, like all states across the west when it comes to mule deer. It’s a gamble in my opinion, 21 with the right weather could be good.
If they go back to the earlier dates in 2025 it will look somewhat like this
1st rifle: 10/11-10/15
2nd rifle: 10/18-10/26
3rd rifle: 11/01-11/09
4th rifle: 11/12-11/16
I’m not sure what he was talking about, but in my experience/opinion Colorado was never the same after the 2018 hunting season. That was obviously a few years prior to the later dates. Before the 2019 it seemed like big deer where coming consistently all across the state, with or without weather
