Wednesday, I was up and hiking much earlier, I wanted to be at 13k glassing as early as I could. I made my glassing point at 8 am. It was much windier this morning and I spent most of it hunkered down behind a little rock wall another kind person had built. I reinforced it a little and cooked...
Opening morning of the hunt had me driving an access road and running into an individual who also had a Nanny tag. I stopped and we chatted for a little while, deconflicted plans for that day. I would go along the south ridge of the drainage while he hunted the north. We would be several miles...
Haha! It’s a real nice area there! I was really hoping to find a some in there because I wanted to camp out at one of those lakes and do some fishing in the midday lulls!
Well, my 2023 Colorado Mountain Goat hunt has come to a conclusion. This was an amazing hunt that I had been looking forward to for years.
I began with several scouting trips this summer. Just trying to spend as much time as I could in the unit to both understand where the goats live and how...
We planted tomatillo plants this year for the first time. We put out 12 plants not knowing how they would do. Well we ended up with two five gallon bucket fulls of them. My wife had put up 36 pints of salsa verde so far and we’ve given away pounds of them as well! Needless to say next year we...
Thanks! I have a feeling she will be much larger than I expect! I know every time I walk up on an elk I’m still surprised! I grew up shooting Florida deer even though I’ve been in Colorado for almost 15 years the sizes still get me.
I know I’m incredibly late on posting this, but I’m delayed by 3 hours in the Salt Lake airport so why not.
I cashed in a few years of points to draw this tag, it paid off. I had spoken with some locals about where they found good glassing locations for elk, figuring that they would also be...
Hey guys,
I have a Cow Moose tag for Colorado (up the Poudre). I have a buddy that has two Llamas, he has volunteered to be on call for if/when I get one on the ground. Question concerning the size of these animals. I’ve never hunted moose before, would you equate a cow to a large bull elk...
I use a MSR trail shot and a dirty and clean water bottle. I use to use the Sawer mini, but I had trouble with filling the bag up and the threads seemed to become crossed easily, then water would slowly leak down the side of the filter and contaminate the clean again.
I like the MSR now. It...
Congratulations! Looks like an awesome adventure! Those deer are so pretty, they look almost orange against all that vivid green! What an amazing ecosystem to hunt in. That kind of weather could be demoralizing, way to stick with it! I'm building those Alaska credit card points for just such a...
