Even out of staters can have an opinon on how to do it better, but we might not have much influence.
Yes, everyone is entitled to their o' pinon, and some of those opinions even have merit. Just not entitled to bag on someone else for "telling CP&W how to run their hunt" when they're the only ones telling CP&W how to run their hunt.
I went over the thread and could not find what you quoted?
Who are you quoting?

And it was rarely hunt with centerfires. Not rarely shoot centerfires. See the difference there?
I think it's the CO Parks and Wildlife who set the rules. Not an individual game warden.

Thanks JB. I've been practicing the reverse a bit, without shooting. I Have a tripod with a rest, one that Jordan recommended a few years ago. Never used it on the tripod until now.
This is practice on the PRS Skills stage. Iβm cheating as any rear support is not allowed in competition. I was just practicing rear support assists that day with my Rudolph Quad Sticks (I recommend you get both the standing and short versions)
In competition the only thing allowed is one bag. The target is a 10β plate at 430 yards. Time constraint is 90 seconds. 2 rounds from each of 4 positions, so 8 rounds. Just showing this to demonstrate that 3 minutes is an eternity

LOL.
That's all fake, you have a Leupold on that rifle and would be lucky to hit one plate before it shifted zero.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

Also notice that the low positions are done with reverse kneelingβ¦

Because they want to see if you can shoot proficiently and not have a schitshow of wounded animals produced by idiots who donβt have basic shooting skills.
LOL, you think the best way to avoid a schitshow is to allow people to use a rest when they qualify that they won't have when the actual hunt happens, got it.
There are such things as trees, brush, fence posts ,ect in the field and the qual allows shooting sticks instead of the post. I would have used sticks to pass that qual.
Get out in the field a bit more and this would be easier for you to understand.
The 300yds portion allowed prone and bipods.
Seems a good test for this kind of thing.
You ever been to the great sand dunes? Wide open country with lots of sand, not so much trees and brush and fence posts.
I'm really disappointed in you guys, no LOLs for that one. You know it was funny, even Burns laughed.

Don't you want to know why I called you guys that? It's because whenever you see a Moonpie and an RC Cola, it always comes with a big ol' baloney samwich.

You think the elk are hanging out in the actual dunes?
I suppose next you are going to tell us the cull is to reduce how much sand the elk are eating?

Iβve spent a bit of time in the San Luis Valley. And yeah, Iβd bet the elk arenβt on any dunes. πππ

But a lot has changed since then in Colorado, ya know with illegal immigration and diversity stuff. There may be a lot of elk that migrated from Saudi Arabia

Monte Vista, opening morning waterfowl season this year. Cell phone video was too big to post. I've had this happen on the refuge few times. One time they even dragged my decoys out of the water.
I might have to start hunting elk while pretending to bird hunt. Seems like I see more and theyβre not even bothered by barking dogs out in the open at 30 yards
Dove hunt
Duck hunt

You were questioning the use of the post.
John, In this case I do believe itβs the individual Area Wildlife Manager (AWM) in the video that is setting the rules. They may be using the same or similar rules used in the past. Usually when itβs a National Park the NPS has their own people manage the hunt, but it appears this is a remote enough location the feds handed the cull over to the state.
Iβve killed a few animals from some pretty unorthodox positions but that kneeling position is still a cockamamie way to shoot a critter.
Casey,
I think everyone agrees sitting is better than kneeling for being steady.
That said if you have a rest to support the front of the rifle then right elbow to right knee adds support to the back of the rifle.
If you are shooting kneeling without any front support then left elbow to left knee it the best way. But without a sling and the time to get slung up it's only a bit better than offhand.
Any way some time when you're bored see what you think of that reversed kneeling with a front rest, I recomend some sticks.
Might be a tool for the tool box.
Quit being nice and helpful.
Lol
For years I've used a single trekking pole. It helps for balance when walking but with a little practice, it can be an improvised shooting stick in many ways. The most solid I've found is in conjunction with a bush. Hold your hand on the pole at the right height and grab a twig on the bush with the same hand. Pull away from the bush. Lay the gun over your wrist. The pole gives you a solid elevation, the twig gives you solid windage.

Same here. It happens to me on the Rio Grande river too. But when I hunt elk it seems like they have read the regs.
