    Vanish and Firetiger's 2023 Journal

    On Friday, I had checked our plan B location and there was a single camp set up there. They had a SxS so it was difficult to tell if they were even hunting that spot. I was comfortable also heading in there, so we moved Saturday evening, but upon arrival that camp was gone, and there were NINE...

    Leftover CO

    That's not what happened though. Based on an above comment I'm going to get shot for saying this, but while there are tags in a cart (that have yet to be paid for) you will get "No Quota Available" rather than "Not Available for Sale" ... That message only appeared for a few seconds on those 10...

    Leftover CO

    Was trying for my wife. I saw the "No Quota" message at 11:02:17 with "Not available" on both refreshes either side. Have never seen it swap between that and not available so fast. It was either in person machines or bots because I have great internet and could not have paid for a tag in that...

    Ironically I didn't leave off there to create suspense, but rather ran out of free time. It is in low supply these days. Two cows followed by a giant bull crossed quickly in front, never giving a shot. Apparently they were not into my calling as they trotted away from rather than toward us...

    We knew Saturday was going to be rough. With only two days to hunt, my plan was to get to the ugliest, most likely holding spots I felt we could pack an elk out of. First couple miles was downed timber, then +1200ft in 1/2 mile. Elk can be found all along here, but not on this day. Intel said...

    Friday afternoon, I left work a bit early, picked up a friend and headed to elk country. We through out a quick camp and headed out to hunt/scout the access I had planned to use on Saturday. I hadn't been in the area since 2019 and knew the deadfall could be bad. We found lots and lots of...

    Oh, heck yeah it would be. She wasn't on that portion of the trip. FireTiger and DD were set up in our popup at the campground at the trailhead. They did not join on the backpack portion. They also caught more fish than us! 😂

    2023 Colorado Mountain Goat

    Wow, I actually managed to guess where you were hunting off "most hikers only get halfway" ! I was up there about a month ago, but went farther than most 😉. I have been putting in for this same unit, so look forward to the rest of the story.

    Another hunt in the books! Sorta :D This was a hunt for large golden trout. It was also Ada's first backpacking trip. We got some good ones by most standards, but there are far larger fish around. They were not cruising, instead holding deep and I didn't even bother to get the fly rod out. Day 1...

    Pure hell

    From what I read, the pilot was able to land and get the meat up high, but had to get the hunters at the river.

    Critters in Weird Places

    Terrible photo as it is a Screencap from a video in 2012, but the Pronghorn buck shows up decently. We are deep in the aspens hunting elk, several miles from any open area.

    Transferable skills... whitetail to elk

    Taming buck fever / making your shot count. Too many take this for granted and in the heat of the moment, many screw it up.

    First Archery Buck (Click for good news!!)

    If i could blow a stalk or two a day for a week, I'd be a happy hunter. At least that'd what I tell myself. I'm sure it get frustrated eventually 🙃

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. The hunts will mostly be short, but hopefully also sweet. Hopefully our daughter takes to hunting as much as she has to camping and fishing.

    Well, I'm going to try my best at journaling again this year as it is the TENTH ANNIVERSARY of me doing so. I have found it much more difficult to find the time with a job that I care about and an 18 month old daughter. Here is the hunt schedule thus far: CO Elk Muzzleloader - Vanish CO...

    Pin distance

    20 - 30 - 40 with the bottom pin a slider. I shoot a fairly heavy arrow so I'm not comfortable skipping the 20 pin. In my opinion, if the animal is more than 30, it needs to be holding pretty still, which means you have time to range and dial.

    I haven't personally hunted up there but be 100% sure your access point is public. There is a reason so many head in from Coffee Pot.

    Catch All Fishing Thread

    A couple weeks ago on the Kenai. I had to see it in person. Can't believe people travel thousands of miles to do this.
