Early Season Location?
I’m a relatively new western resident (been in CO 3 yrs now) and have concentrated most of my efforts on archery elk. I’m hoping to put a little more effort into a mule deer during archery season this year. Most info for early season bucks says “hunt from treeline up”, so that is where I’ve been con...

Re: Fluncked the test!
There is an "IQ test" that shows up at the top of the forum page that says info provided by someone and QDMA. It is more of a QDMA advertisement than a bowhunter IQ test.

Just go with a well tuned, happy medium weight/speed combo (380-400 gr./260-275 fps) or thereabouts a...

Re: new to archery hutning in Co.
When you say "get to CO mid July", I'm assuming you mean your moving here. You need to have a residence established for 6 months before you can buy tags as a Resident, therefore you will be buying as a Nonresident. Tags are still available, but cost more. A big part of CO archery elk is over the cou...

Re: Book?
I'm about half way through David Long's "Public Land Mulies - The Bottom Line". Very good read so far.

Book?

CO Unit 44 archery deer and will probably hunt that unit for elk as well until I connect with a buck (if I can connect). Also have an archery bear tag, an S32 Ewe tag above Georgetown, a muzzleloader pronghorn doe tag and a late season rifle cow tag for 35,36. I would also love to make it back home ...
