    Fun story

    Figured I could share a fun story of when I was younger antelope archery hunting with My old man. I was probably 16 or so, and I had a doe archery tag. Dad and I found a waterhole that seemed would be a killer hole to sit. Weeks prior to the season opener we got the blind set up. Opening day...

    Air show

    Been watching the blue angels fly directly over my house for the last 3 days. It's awesome watching those crazy jets fly so low to the ground, the unison that they can fly in and the tricks. Been an awesome show, right out my back door too!

    Any of my local Grand junction folks know of any land owners or anyone that would possibly be open to leasing their land for my wife and I? Willing to trade work or pay a fee if needed.

    Which one?

    I thought it would be fun since i haven't found a post like this. Which one would you rather shoot? Which one would have more "trophy" reward for you, not just meat.

    From the looks of it, Jim's wife lost her battle with cancer within the last 24 hours. Whether you like him or not, the man has done a lot for the outdoors world. From the looks of it, she passed with a smile on her face a full heart. Best wishes to him and his....I couldn't imagine losing my...

    2023 bull

    What a ride this elk hunt was. Ended up getting sicker than a dog 2 days before My hunt, but gave it my absolute all. First morning we were out we had bulls screaming all around us. Had a herd cross in front of us, but no shooters in sight. We wanted to get to a pinch point that the elk were...

    Best boot insoles

    Breaking in a pair of kenetreks and the factory insoles seem kinda crap. Anyone have any recommendations for good yet affordable insoles other than the sheep's feet or whatever they are?

    Sighting in

    Not new to archery, but new to my current set up. MY 20-50 pins are all basically level left and right, but then my 60 yard pin is a good bit to the left but they are all shooting dead on. Is this an issue I need to address or look at more closely? Arrows are all shooting dead on, not hitting at...

    Illinois is treading

    Seems that Illinois is pissing a ton of people off with their new semi-auto "weapons" ban. I am extremely happy to see that a good majority of the sheriff's in Illinois are refusing to abide by this new law because of the oaths they took to uphold the American constitution and the right to...

    Outfitter beef

    What is with some outfitters just bad mouthing other outfitters? Is it just a big dck swinging contest between outfitters in a unit?

    Its getting real!

    As a few of yall know, I finally stopped debating like a woman on which unit I wanted to hunt and settled on a guided hunt in unit 40 CO. I was holding back on being excited until I could get the deposit in because until then the outfitter could have filled the spot. Well, I got the contract all...

    Whats the hype about???

    What is all the hype with the .300mag? I truly don't get the hype behind this gun. It's overly expensive to shoot (not talking about reloading), it really doesn't do much more than other rifles...did someone awesome rub their boobs on each .300 round and I just don't know about it??? Does each...

    Didn't realize that I have enough pp for colorado 61 1st rifle. Was looking into a unit 76 archery bull hunt. Would yall stick with the archery hunt, or go for the 61 1st rifle? I'm really after a fun hunt and great experience, with the goal of no less than a 300" bull.

    Youre not a hunter

    I was reading a post from some guy on that (I hunt colordo) group on Facebook. He was ranting about how he believed hunting with an outfitter was lazy. He also went about and made claims stating that if you hire a guide because "you can't find animals in an area, then you are just a shooter and...

    Vap elite SS/Vap elite TKO

    Has anyone tried either of these arrows? I'm getting ready to do some custom arrows and I'm stuck between these two arrows. From the looks, there isn't much difference other than the TKO has a little better KE.

    Which outfitter

    Looking for some input here. I have two guides that I'm chatting with about an archery elk hunt next year. Both seem very promising, and aren't insanely priced. Frazier outfitting and rio grande outfitter with ash tulley are the two outfitters. Anyone have any input on these two? The only...

    The Liver King

    I want to see some opinions and have some discussions about this guy. If you don't know who the liver king is (boomers) look him up. He is an insanely fit guy who claims it mostly comes from his diet of raw meats, ie testicles, liver, bone marrow etc. What do yall think? Is he natural? or on...
