Little over an hour southeast of Montrose. Unit 65, Uncompahgre National Forest. 1st rifle tags are given out by a draw, but they're pretty much a guaranteed draw.

Make sure you bring your license.

Glad you found us. :welcome: Also, it's nice to see that we are showing up in search engines. It will definitely help drive traffic here.

I'd be on that like flies on shit. Every one I see on gunbroker or in the LGS isn't worth the price to me. I'll keep looking. If you ever see another, feel free to PM me :D

I would never go on a full out challenging adventure with a group of total strangers. I like you guys, but I don't like you that much! I'd be down for something like I mentioned before.

A .22 revolver would be sweet, but they seem to be a good amount more expensive than their semi auto brethren.

I'll give you 20-1 odds. How much money you want to put on Trump taking NY? :D

If we were in a battleground state, you may have a point. But, let's be real. In NY, you could combine the votes for the Republicans, Conservatives, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, and all the other parties, and the Democrats would still win.

Without a doubt, it has to be exposure. I'd say that would be the case in most places though (maybe not coastal areas and parts of the SE). We have decently warm summers, but any time other than July and August, it can get cold. It snowed upwards of 3' in the Adirondacks on Memorial Day a few...

Me and a few friends actually talked about doing this a few years ago. It wouldn't have been a "Let's go survive" trip, but it would have been a, "Everyone bring something, whether it's an object or demonstration, on something survival related." I'm definitely interested in something like this...

This isn't exactly a surprise. Carl Bernstein speculated that Weld may 'defect' and endorse Hillary if Weld thought that he and Johnson would cause Trump to get elected. Carl Bernstein: Weld May Quit and Help Hillary, 'Despises' Trump I said it once, and I'll say it again. Johnson was only...

need to change the oil in the truck... last done... 3 weeks ago.

1) Do you carry some form of shelter or protection against the elements? Not in my truck, but I do have something in my BOB. 2) Is your plan to drive somewhere, walk, or what else? you can list them in the priority you plan them. First choice is to drive somewhere. Second choice is to walk...

Welcome to the site!

Never look back on a good pun. Welcome to the site!

I'd find it hard to believe there's another attorney with the same name. It has to be the same guy. "We have states that surround New York State that have different kinds of gun laws," attorney James Tresmond said. "You can go right across the border to Pennsylvania, buy any kind of gun you...

Nobody really has any idea, and that's the way it should be. Who knows how many older guns that were shipped to someone's house or bought from a store without a NICS check are still around.

It's old and when it isn't kept up to date, you don't have features. There are always complications upgrading software, but it's something that really needs to be done.

My 4wd Frontier actually did pretty decent on the "roads" in CO. Go slow and plan your route. It's got the short bed, but I could add a trailer or cargo carrier to the hitch and it would be serviceable. All it needs to go is about 45 minutes. Load up the guns, ammo, clothes, and a crap ton of food.

Yeah, I'd suggest a 20° bag, or maybe even a little lower. If we hike in next time, it may get a couple degrees colder. Also, it was a little warmer than an average year by maybe 5 degrees. You can end up like me with 3 backpacks, a couple sleeping bags (that I never use), and a whole slew of...

Yup. I'll keep better track of my costs next time, but it was about $2000 this time. I had a lot of the stuff that is needed though. I had a nice backpack, sleep system, truck, binoculars, jetboil, gun, etc. I had to buy about $90 binocular harness $150 in coolers (which will get used for other...

I should have posted a picture of my sandwich for lunch. Guaranteed they'd like it....

In all honestly, I don't think he gives two shits about NYC either. He's messed with MTA and has bouts with De Blasio pretty frequently. He's a left leaning Democrat who isn't truly left wing enough for the vocal people in his party. I think he's running himself up for a presidential bid in ~8...

I've heard that you can take the Pennsylvania safety course online and NY will accept it. The NY resident license isn't that expensive (something like $50 including doe tags). Shoot one deer and process it yourself and it's probably would pay for itself. You just have to figure out if the wife...

nah, I truly hate Cuomo. He's at least partly responsible for the recent housing collapse. As head of HUD, he had the influence to stop Freddie and Fannie from giving loans out to certain individuals that probably shouldn't have them. He listened to lobbyists about yield spread premiums and let...

What can I say, I had a wee bit of bloodlust,

Obama is useless without support from Congress, so, all said, he isn't going to screw us too much without other people joining him. Same goes for the gun grabber Feinstein. She can't do shit without Congress and POTUS. Hillary hasn't done much to us personally, but she is despicable. So... I'd...

Yeah... It's a long drive for sure Cleck and I drove 32 hours straight, each way. What is the difference in price between a cow and bull tag in ID? In CO it is only like $200 difference between a cow tag and an either sex tag.

You'll get there. :) This trip was pretty reasonably priced. I think all-in I was about $2k. Gas, food, supplies, camping gear, tag, and other odds and ends. I'm looking to spend $1500 next time, and that should be easily doable. I'll bet if you could find 4 people to go, you could get the cost...

No guide. I did tons of research though. The Colorado parks and wildlife website provides a ton of information about draw statistics, success rate, etc. I looked for an easy to draw tag in a unit with decent success rate. I think everyone that applied for the elk tag drew it this year. I...

They had a few stocked ponds around the area as well. My hunting license came with a fishing license, but I never got a chance to use it.

We were about 45 minutes or an hour southeast of Montrose in the Uncompahgre National Forest. Just a little northeast of Ouray. Have fun in Idaho. Make sure to bring bear protection if you're in grizzly country. I've heard that they hear gunshots and go towards them for an easy meal. I don't...

I usually load up the .22 pistol with reduced powder loads. They're quieter and I can shoot squirrels when I get really bored.

@Cleck do you have any pictures of that bull moose we saw?

CO was beautiful and the people I interacted with were all very friendly. It's hard giving other hunters tips because it can reduce your chances, but I did get some help from them. I'm pretty confident that I'll notch my tag next time. Just need to hike in a little further and get a little...

For sure. $630 for the tag/license, $500 in gas, and $370 in miscellaneous stuff. I can't wait to go again. If I can find 3 other people, I'd be interested in a drop camp. 4 of the 6 hunters in our area were successful. The 5th should have had been too, but apparently, he screwed it up. It cost...

It is amazing for sure. I took along my DSLR and never used it once. Quite unfortunate. Ohh well.... It just means I have to go back :D I may do a drop camp next time, or I may just go again like we did. I'm thinking about going again in 3-5 years. Now that I have everything I need, it will...

@Cleck will have to put up the pictures of the moose and bruiser of a mule deer.

I have no idea what model one I have. I've had it for 5 or 6 years now. I remember it being a fairly cheap one. Unfortunately, my red dot won't fit inside the holster. Really, that is the biggest drawback. Make sure you're wearing a sturdy belt or the pistol can try and pull your pants down. I...

Well, I didn't end up shooting an elk, but @Cleck and I had an awesome time in Colorado. I saw a bunch of elk on private and public land, tons of mule deer (including one absolute bruiser), a bear, a few moose (including a nice bull), a jackrabbit, and bunches of other wildlife. I learned a ton...

I carry when hunting. Sometimes I carry a .22 in a drop leg holster. Sometimes I carry my M&P9c in an OWB holster. Other times I carry my .44 mag Super Redhawk in a bandolier holster. It all depends on the season, what I feel like hunting, and my mood at the time. This is all on private land...
