    Winchester SX4 or something else?

    My son has an SX4 and it is nice! He never cleans it all season and he's chasing waterfowl from Sept 1st to early March. I borrowed it to take pheasant hunting and it was a joy to carry, even liked it more than my Browning Maxus. I'll be picking one up before Fall

    Preferred Shotgun for Pheasant Hunting

    I shoot a Browning Maxus. I'm 6'3" so its nice that it comes with spacers to add to the LOP. Most firearms feel too small. My 6'5" son shoots a Winchester SX4 which also allows to add to the LOP and is very light. I carried it afield and it was a joy to carry and shoot and about $500 cheaper...

    Situation opinions...

    Find pheasants in counties that have no WIA program and your good to go! I use to hunt Kit Carson county a lot until WIA started, now the birds are so danged riled up from all the pressure I hardly bother over there anymore and I even hunt private! I've since found other places to hunt, that...

    License Increase Bill (HB17-1321)

    Most of the money goes to everything but hunting, especially fishing. Cant support this. Biggest CPW priority right now is dam repair which I could care less about. Fishing license should at least cost as much as a deer tag since they suck off the most money...

    New to CO needs a little help

    Howdy! you live where I work ;) Rampart Range has more bigfoots than grouse IMO. I hunt Eagle, Routt, Rio Blanco and Moffat counties if that tells you anything. Birds do exist on the front range, and every one I bag is a trophy! You'll soon learn if you want to get into consistant numbers you...

    Grouse

    I've been out numerous times now in 4 different counties where I normally get into them, and have yet to see a bird. Elk hunters are saying even they have noticed a lack of birds this year

    I'm thinking of moving to Colorado how is the pheasant hunting

    I live in Colorado Springs and its 15 years past being a great place. Its crowded, the dream stream is crowded, the Arkansas river is crowded, hunting area's are getting crowded and the Texans moving here are bringing that leasing plague! The wife and I would love to leave to WY or MT but...

    Where oh where has all the WIA gone?

    When Gov Chickenpooper merged DOW with Parks and didn't keep on DOW Dir Tom Remington, we were screwed! He was/is a bird hunter. Heck he earned his PhD studying blue grouse And the current Wildlife Commission aint all that bird friendly with the exception of Dean Wingert. Its all about Big...
