Take a look at Estes Park. RMNP entrance is on the edge of town. Durango is a good launching pad for many things such as scenic drives, hikes, train ride, etc. North of Durango you could consider Ouray. Many choices to consider in CO....

Bought one and duck hunted with it for two years. Must have been the way I hold to shoot but it would rub the skin enough to bleed on one of my fingers after a few shots. I traded in for a Beretta A400. Otherwise, it did the job....

I had a procedure done yesterday and my surgeon explained the shortage issue. That was post op so I was pretty out of it and don't remember the facts. My pain meds were not available through my pharmacy. He was able to get them through the hospital pharmacy. Have not touched them. ...

We had chairs to be delivered today. I received a call this morning from white glove delivery that it was on hold and to reach out to our contact at the store. Then I read this thread. Paid in full and been waiting for 3 months. All I know is the chairs are in Dallas in a warehouse. ...

I hunted in Danner Pronghorns for the last two years in the San Juan Mountains. Hiked for miles. We put in 27 miles, I think, last year. Can't say enough good things about them....

Posted by driftwoodtigerfan on 5/30/23 at 11:41 am

I did it back in 2001 when it was not as much a thing. We decided we did not want other people raising our kids. One of the hardest decisions I ever made as it was tough to walk away from my career that I had worked so hard for. Took me a couple of years to get over it and the stigma of being the s...

I bought one last spring. I am 54 years old and hunted with a Rem 700 .270 since I was in a my twenties. I now mule deer/elk hunt Colorado as opposed to hill country TX. So I justified the cost. I love the rifle. Been shooting out to 300 yards accurately. Have not tried beyond that yet. Only compla...

I have not thought about some of this stuff in decades. Been checking in on the thread throughout the day. Keep pulling things from way deep down in my brain.
