Was lucky to tag out and come home for a few days before heading up to CO for the third season, saw some great country and had a good solo trip, bride and little guy were happy daddy finished up early. funky little 2 by 4.

My partner drew an early tag while deployed and we started to plan by encrypted message. Between the military and his work the scouting was up to me and range time would be tough, leave it to Brian to have a new bow shipped overseas so he would be ready. Bowtec had the bow all set and ready to shoot with arrows and release. Great company, they sent the release and arrows on their own. We hit the mountain a week early and did some OTC deer and bear while scouting around our main camp. Had an exciting full draw moment on a good bear but just couldn't get a clear shot. Only made one stalk on a deer but it was a two hour show through the binos so that was fun. Bulls were talking only in the evenings and they were pretty spread out and seemed to be alone and in the thick stuff. We packed the mules "thanks Tim for loaning me his mule" and made a remote camp way up the mountain. 5 days of really good although butt kicking high country elk hunting had Brian at full draw a few times but no shots. Next up was 30 hours of rain and some cabin fever followed by silence,,,,yep no more bugles and we kept running into hunters. Other than the first few days this was one tough slow hunt, we ground out the entire hunt to the last day and only had one more opportunity on a bull, of course a quad came rolling in and blew him out. Really happy to have spent 3 weeks in the hills but man was this a tough hunt.

Proof Barrel and 500 Blackjacks ordered!

Borrow my sous vide if you don’t have one, I’ll even meet you half way. Just don’t fuk up a good piece of meat!!

Saw this sign in alpine recently. I’ve never talked to them but should be a good start. Good luck on her hunt!

Alright well here goes nothin... Here is a few with the rifle.. And here is a few archery...

I killed a decent buck there in 2012 on January 2nd during the archery season. It is my first and only muley buck with a bow. It was super windy that day and it had the deer all messed up. I was able to approach to around 60 yards then waited for a doe to get up and move, taking the buck with her giving me a 40 yard broadside shot. I hit him slightly high and back but still got both lungs. He ran about 150 yards and hit the dirt. I was a happy camper! I was about a mile and a half from the truck so it was a pain in the butt to pack out the first load but I had help with the rest.

Brand new never been mounted vortex hog hunter 3-12 moa w/ illuminated reticle and 30mm tube. $300 shipped. Thanks

Hey guys, I’m trying to possibly get some phone numbers of people that pack out elk in unit 27 for my wife’s elk tag in early December. It may be just me and her and wanted to get prices and an idea of how to do it! Thanks for the help

Congratulations. Sounds like great times with the family.

A little unsettling to have a lightning started forest fire near camp. The 30 hour straight rain took care of it a few days later.

Sling shots worked great, had the kids do the dirty work.

This made it all worth it though. We turned in about 400lbs of meat to the processor. It will be Traeger time in a few weeks.

Going into draw with 28 nr points, expect to have 29 soon.

hardhorned. goofball Dude will prob try coming in the house when it gets cold out...

He's big, but I am not seeing 430+ unless A3 tapes him.

A mid day nap and a deer in the yard sounds perfect to me. That's a good day!
