The way this tag worked was August 15th-27th was archery only and August 28th until December 31st was any legal weapon. Speaking with the biologist he informed me that a pronghorn governor's tag had never been taken with archery equipment. So of course this became a focus of mine. August 13th...
A hot summer day in May my wife and I are doing yard work when my phone rings. My wife says it's a Colorado number and asks if she should answer. I tell her I'll call them back, it's either a potential job interview or a friend from when I use to live in the Springs.
