5 Tips for Keeping Trespassers Out

Why do some people think they have the right to break the law and trespass wherever they please? Most law-abiding property owners can’t imagine why these unethical “hunters” (for lack of a better term) would break the law and take the chance of losing their hunting privileges, or why they would steal from the property owner and others. Protect yourself from this and prevent trespassing and poaching from ever happening in the first place.

A Lousy Elk Season Became a Great Elk Season

I had been shooting my bow every day to get ready for elk season. On the first morning of this hunt, I shot over the back of a 6x6 bull I felt I should’ve taken. As I replayed the shot in my mind, I couldn’t think of any mistake I had made, but I knew I must have done something wrong. The second morning of the hunt I shot at a 6x6 that I felt

Camo Vinyl Wraps vs. Painting: The Benefits of Mossy Oak Graphics

Luckily for our customers, they don’t have to be a Claude Monet or Leonardo Da Vinci to add camo to any surface (even if that wasn’t their medium, which is besides the point).

Here are some of the many reasons why you should

Increase Your Odds of Finding and Taking Bull Elk by Using Resources

Dave and I almost became obsessed with gathering hunting information and trying to help do-it-yourself hunters increase their odds for success. Just this past year we added harvest sites for goat, sheep, moose and lions with specific recommendations of where your chances are best to take these animals in our database, and we have about 13,000 kill sites in that database.

Gather Information Yearly to Increase Odds for Taking an Elk

Dave researched Colorado’s Parks and Wildlife information to see what he could learn about elk hunting, where he could hunt on public lands, and where his chances were best to successfully take an elk. He also wanted to know how many preference points a person had to have to hunt the better units with the most elk in them with either a gun, a bow or a blackpowder rifle. In his spare time, he dug

Colorado’s Mike Miller and the 300-Yard Bull Elk

This hunt took place on the opening day of elk rifle season one year. My hunter and I drove up to a place that I liked to glass from because I could see almost the entire mountain range. I didn’t like to go to this spot before daylight, since I believed the headlights on my truck would spook the elk. Once we had some natural light, I took my spotting scope and binoculars there and

Fish Habitat You Can Count On

Some fish species relate to bait more than structure. But even when that’s the case, the bait they’re after usually relates to structure of some kind. So giving your fish something to relate to in the form of structure is a huge step forward to producing and holding more fish. Some try to sink trees, others try to build structures and “cribs, but why do all that work when it can be as easy as

Colorado’s Mike Miller and the Deep Canyon Bull Elk

On one opening-day archery hunt, we got up before daylight and went to the spot where we could watch wide expanses and a deep canyon. My hunter saw several big bulls, and I talked him into going down in the canyon, an 1800-foot descent to reach the bottom. I knew there was good water down there and several wallows. We went to the end of the canyon that had only two ways out - climb

Colorado’s Mike Miller Tells Us about an Opening Morning Elk Archery Hunt

I’d been watching this large herd of elk for a couple of weeks that had one big herd bull, about 300 cows and eight satellite bulls. When I got my client in the position where he could see the herd, I said, “Okay. Here is the herd. We’re going to attempt to move close enough for you to get a shot at the herd bull without spooking the rest of the elk.”

Colorado’s Mike Miller’s Best Opening Day Bull Elk

One time I had trail camera pictures of a herd bull that scored 352 inches. Within 30 minutes of legal shooting time during muzzleloader season that year, that bull was on the ground. I got up in camp at about 5 a.m., and my hunter was so excited he had been up and ready to go since 4 a.m. We checked out all our gear to make sure my hunter had bullets, powder and percussion
