Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT- TEXAS LAKES,CO Most sporting gods stores around here have them. I've also gotten them from Wally Mart. They are available on line at places like Cabelas. Just make sure you get the Shad Rap 5R BeanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip_co Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT- TEXAS LAKES,CO All I saw scouting on a very hot day was atv's and bicyclers and campers and tourists, but the place sure looks and smells ELKY.

rifleman25 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT- TEXAS LAKES,CO This list has taken quite a few hunts to line out. It is still not perfect as I think of new things on each hunt I should have brought along. Should be a good place to start though and help make your first western big game hunt an enjoyable one.[ QUOTE ] Here is a list, thanks to Rifleman25 of items you may need to take with you.
