We had three bull tags, good snow, almost no competing pressure, and two herds patterned in the Flat Tops during Colorado’s first rifle season. We killed two bulls. This is the honest breakdown of why it wasn’t three, and the guiding decisions I’d ma... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

3 Hours With FORM - Shooting Better, Stock Design, Small Calibers and The Fun of Hunting
Q: What does effective dry practice look like at home or at the range for hunting?
Form recommends brief, intentional dry-fire sessions that rehearse gun handling, loading, turret use, safety procedures, position-building, and observing reticle movement when the firing pin falls.
3 Hours With FORM - Shooting Better, Stock Design, Small Calibers and The Fun of Hunting
Q: For a new rifle shooter, how much practice per week or month does it take to get and keep being consistent at hunting at 600 yards?
Form estimates that a 90 percent success rate in broken terrain requires roughly 1,500 to 3,000 rounds annually, practice no more than a month apart, and substantial training before the season.
Backcountry Elk Hunting with Horses and Mules - Truths NOBODY Tells YOU
Q: What is your approach for getting the horse and rider team ready for a backcountry elk hunt?
Balance prior riding and livestock experience with deliberate exposure to mountain conditions; start with a base camp to manage horses, then hunt daily with shorter, controlled trips to build confidence.
What POACHING in AFRICA Actually Looks Like - Craig Doria
Q: Craig, are these anti-poaching structures typically associated with commercial operations or independent collaborations with authorities?
They are generally connected with hunting companies or associations, but they must work closely with national parks and authorities; private armies are not acceptable, and formal collaborations are preferred.
Tahr or Elk? - Hunting NZ vs. Hunting The West
Q: How does over-the-counter hunting in Colorado compare to hunting tar in New Zealand? Is it harder or easier?
New Zealand hunting is harder in some ways due to rugged terrain and climate, but easier in terms of year-round access and fewer regulatory hurdles for some activities; success heavily depends on choosing the right spots and maintaining high fitness.
