The mountain streams and rivers are pretty high right now, so have been thinking about trying my luck at stillwater flyfishing. What are some of your favorite flies for lakes and ponds?
…the bow, not the cranky, geriatric bird dog.
Upgrading bows this year and would like to donate my old bow to a teenager or a lady getting into bowhunting. It is a 2015 Elite Impulse 31, 60lb, right-handed and set at 27.5” draw. Would encourage you to take it to your local archery shop for a...
CBE Engage Hybrid Single Pin Sight, .019 pin, right hand, dove tail mount. Great sight, just wanted to switch to a 3-pin slider for this season. Have all aluminum yardage scales and tool but not sure if I have the original box. $175+ Shipping.
Unopened box of 12 Black Eagle Spartan shafts...
Had some pretty good beef cabeza tacos last night and it got me to thinking about doing the same with deer or pronghorn. Would really like to start using every edible bit from what I shoot.
Anyone saving heads and cooking them whole (or otherwise)? If so, how are you preparing them?

Think it would be pretty cool to see a wolverine in the wild but I have to ask-- if Colorado is such perfect habitat for them, why haven't they migrated in naturally?
Having only dabbled in it previously, I have now been very firmly bitten by the fly fishing bug. I'm not quite ready to tie my own flies just yet but I'd like to pass along some tying materials from any elk/deer/pronghorn/birds that I take to a couple of my flyfishing mentors. I dropped off a...
@Big Fin --who do we need to buy off to get a livestream AMA with one of the great characters from FreshTracks or On Your Own Adventures? Uncle Larry gets my vote but the livestream might need to come with an NSFW/18+ label.
Always wanted to see what these fancy mountain trout used to having $5 Orvis flies flung at them would do with a hunk of nightcrawler and Velveeta cheese dangled in front of them.
Hi all,
I've mentioned a few times on here the .338-06 project I've been working on. It finally came home from the smith today. Components include Tikka T3X action, 22" Lilja sporter contour barrel, Mesa Precision Altitude stock, Mountain Tactical pic rail, RedSnake Tactical AICS bottom...

Always take national media reporting on firearms issues with a grain of salt but the Sig P320 AD/ND issues are under the spotlight. Anyone on here experienced an issue with the 320 or its progeny?
Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 rifle scope with Vortex BDC reticle with set of Vortex vertical scope rings. Never shot it personally but pulled it off of a Remington 700 Ultimate Muzzleloader that I bought last fall (thanks, Colorado). Overall in very good condition, clear glass but small spot on...
I have been daydreaming quite a bit lately about building a stalking rifle off of a CZ 550 FS or a Ruger 77 International in .257Ackley Improved. Have to think a 115gr. Barnes TTSX doing around 3000fps would be pretty serious medicine for pronghorn and eastern Whitetail with a light 2-7x scope...
Currently running a CBE Engage Hybrid single pin but planning on stepping up to a three pin slider when I buy a new bow this spring. Leaning toward sticking with the Engage Hybrid platform but lately the Black Gold Pro Hunter HD has caught my eye. Really like the possibility of customizing the...
Have never hunted pheasant and most of my bird hunting experience is pass shooting dove on powerline ROWs in the South, so I need a little advice on preferred 20 gauge loads for pheasant. Steel, bismuth, copper-plated or regular lead? Shot size? 2 3/4" or 3"? Brand? Preferred choke for...
Hi all,
Muzzleloader I purchased this summer came with an array of top-shelf saboted bullets. Unfortunately, I’m located in Colorado where these are off limits for muzzy season. Also have available a few other, non-saboted bullets that I’ve accumulated over the years. Prices are “or OBO” but do...
[Paging @Buckskins&BlackPowder, @Buckskins&BlackPowder you are needed in Aisle 3]
I picked up a gently used Remington 700 Ultimate this summer and outfitted it with a set of Williams WHRS sights for my fall pronghorn and deer hunts. It is fantastically accurate within 100 yards with 250gr...
