Well I just picked up a pair of Merrell Phaser Peaks. I couldn't decided between these and the moabs, but went with these due to them being a little taller at the ankle. Might were them on the job tomorrow to break them in and make sure they are as comfortable as I think they are. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Trout. Power bait, flies, worms, lures, etc. I have never used flies but lots of people do Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
do you have to use one of them fancy fly fishin rods or can you use a normal fishin pole. i havent ever done any of that fly fishin stuff. put me on a bass and im good though!
Ive never fly fished either. I just use a little trout pole with power bait or salmon eggs. The closest ive come to fly fishing was getting mad and throwing my pole in the water Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
They had a 20% off sale at the local fly shop so I got myself one. I'm gonna practice on pan fish and smallies here so I know what i am doing when I head out there. I was wondering about any certain color u guys use out there so if I have a chance to get out I can catch some dinner. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Maybe Will can chime in on that I haven't fished in the mountains much. Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
Fishing is going to be 3rd string behind elk and mule deer. But I still wouldn't mind to catch something. We were thinking of spending a few days spike camping further from camp, do many of the other guys spike camp or does everyone come back every night? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
No experience here with fishing in CO...but I do know I could waste a whole other week just fishing/hiking/sightseeing...never enough time for me out there. I do have a good story I can retell at camp about New Zealander Scottie bowfishing for trout So far, I believe all hunters have returned to camp each night, I know I always have. Last year Aussie John was all set to spike out one night in an area he liked, but I believe the rain changed those plans. I may bring along just enough kit in case I would want to give it a go - but it would be out of total desperation if I can't find any elk - I'd much rather meet the crew back at camp for a hot meal, rum&coke, and a cot! I see that nearly all of the CO got nailed with snow on Mothers Day...summer still a long ways away in some parts...
For elk, in my experience, fixed blade broadheads penetrate better, especially on longer shots. I use Muzzys, FWIW.
I'm officially into the double digits fellas... 99 days til we head west to kick off the 7 week hunting bonanza by chasing some pronghorn around in WY...
That's awesome.....pronghorn will hopefully be next year for me...prolly going to hook up with dubb ya if I can plan the timing right.....good luck...you have a busy season if I remember right Hope so...we haven't talked about it lately...I've been scarce on here lately trying to get the house and new shop in order
I think my wife is already tired of hearing me talk about this lol. Question for you guys that have been on this hunt before. Do I need a GPS or will we be hunting in groups? Pardon my stupid questions, as I'm sure it won't be the last. This is a whole new type of adventure for a flatlander from corn country.
We usually have a couple guys together in groups if they choose to hunt together. A GPS is not a must but it is very nice to have as its easy to get lost in the mountains especially when its dark. I used a GPS on my phone and it ended up being wrong coming off the mountains in our 2012 camp at night and it sucked. I highly recommend a GPS. I'm buying one for this year as I want to explore some new areas. I like to mark where camp is located, where the vehicle is parked and any wallows or down game. Would be easier to radio back to camp with a GPS coordinates if you get an elk down so its easier and faster for us to find you and help pack out so the meat doesn't spoil Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
I bought a garmin 62s and have no clue how to use the damn thing yet.....looks like it will be nice to have with the topo on it though
If you have a radio bring it dont make a special trip to buy one. We have a few extras. Simple two way radios are pretty cheap. Mine are cobra brand Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk
