In addition to the 2 hunters in CO I found out today one of my old hunting buddies died suddenly. He had moved out of state and didn’t hunt a lot anymore but was with me when I killed my first archery deer…the mulie in my avatar. He shared his hunting spots with me and was probably the reason I was able to get a shot that day. He was still young…in his 50s and died of a GI bleed while out of the country for work. SEAL and leaves behind a wife and 2 daughters. Life is short. Having a bourbon for him and a tequila for his wife tonight. RIP old friend.

Sad situation…mountain weather is no joke! Be safe out there… https://www.kktv.com/2025/09/18/missing-hunters-found-dead-after-dayslong-search-southern-colorado-family-says/

Nice memory. I’d have had to look back to confirm the year…my friend had killed a smaller buck end of Dec and took me back and we found this guy in the same area.

Awesome as always...thanks for sharing!

75k miles...nice. Has a lot of life left.

Good point. I guess I assumed it with the mention of all their gear being in the vehicle and the severe weather moving in.

Yeah that’s a really lame excuse.

Awesome…congrats! Nice write up and thanks for sharing.

That’s awesome! Huge congrats and thanks for sharing!

Nice…congrats! Seems like every pronghorn hunt I’ve been involved has gone a little western too.

That's good to know...I'll keep mine for a while.

Unit 1 near Greer last weekend saw tons of cows and a spike. No bugles even late at night.

False. 36c near elkhorn ranch are the sleepers.

I’ve been wondering about this myself. Just got an iPhone upgrade with the satellite messaging and haven’t had much chance to test it out. Not getting rid of my InReach just yet.

Right on...hopefully you found a spot that wasn't too crowded.

That's awesome...congrats!

Barrel length and choke on the S&W? I assume full choke since it’s waterfowler?

All of the above on shurflo and filters. Also look at one with an expansion tank or add an expansion tank while you’re at it. Helps make it quieter and less running overnight for quick water demand when someone flushes the toilet.

That’s very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

dude your mind is a steel trap...

LoL beat me to it

Oh that’s cool the tag was donated to a vet…I missed that when I saw the original post just saw the pics.
