Against all odds: my 2023 season

[Oak]

So I just drew a Colorado moose with 3 + 6 points in unit 15. This fall just got even wilder.

Bull or cow?

Bull.

Id been contemplating switching to a cow tag just to do the hunt and get the meat. So Ive checked multiple times it was for a bull.

Down side to a bull....no way on this earth you can turn it back. Up side to bull, long hunting season.

I totally agree. Though Im having a hard time convincing my wife I cant turn it back in.

Right now my gut reaction is bow hunt on my way to idaho and gun hunt if necessary on my way back.

Probably have limited time. Gun hunt the whole time.

The odds of this happening are unbelievably low. Congratulations and enjoy these 3 simultaneous opportunities that many of us may never get!

I can help you out of this pickle, I was supposed to finally draw an Idaho moose tag this year, I can take that off your hands and you can concentrate on Colorado. Seriously, I don't mind helping you out!

Congratulations and good luck with all of your hunts looking forward to seeing how they all pan out for you! Hope one day to have your luck, haha.

Yes that is correct.

you sir are on a heater, I sure hope you have an understanding wife, a $hit load on PTO, & some great hunting buddies who want to tag along on 3 OIL hunts.
Good Luck!!!!

Ok, well I didnt draw my black bear tag in Colorado. Guess thats ok this year.

My wife is not near as understanding as she was when all this started. So working on lining up some family help for her.

My buddies are pumped.

Im spending as much time trying to manipulate my pto as I can at the moment…

Absolutely amazing, a Govenor's deer tag & 2 additional bull moose tags in one season. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

 

[elkantlers]

I've never heard of that kind of luck. I wouldn't be able to sleep.
