LSBA Colorado Live Hunt
Well, half way through our first day. Last night the four of us with deer tags tried our luck at mule deer. I saw two nice bucks but naturally they would not get in bow range.
The elk were not coorperating this morning. Some heard the bulls calling but could not get close. Mark and me tromped all over the place. When we purchased our license, Mark had an idea to get grouse license too. Well that paid off this morning when I shot my first grouse.
The guides took Marty to the top of the mountain. Marty must have decided to become the wise man on the mountain because he has yet to come down.
We are having a great time!

Looks like you came down from the mountain.
Anxiously watching for updates....

I just got in. We had a pretty tuff hunt . My guide was as good as any I have ever hunted with. Unfortunately the outfitter was not. Their were lots of Elk around the ranch we were hunting but we never saw any on the ranch we hunted.
After we arrived we discover that our hunt planned for no More than 6 hunters had turned into a hunt with 11 hunters. The outfitter had never scouted the properly and the guides had no ideal where to start. We were sent to a couple of other places that were supposed to be covered up with deer but we saw none. Later we found out he had never actually scouted them either. Brian managed to kill a cow with a great 80 yard shot and seemed to have more Elk on the ranch he and Baily were hunting. The good news was we still managed to have a great time as Roger is a blast to be around and everybody knows about my man crush on Mark.
.I will post some pictures later

That is a great slide show Marty.
I loved the pics of you and Stoney.
That was a LOT of Black Widows on that hunt... did not think they like the cold weather that much!!

I am exhausted but I had an absolute blast the whole week we were in Colorado. I hate Buffs and the rest of the guys hunt didnt go as well as mine did. I did not have any problem with our outfitter and I am already planning my next hunt with him next year. I will write up the story on my hunt this afternoon after I rest a little. All I can say right now is that it was an honor to share a hunting camp with Marty, Stoney, Mark, and Roger from here and the guys from Colorado Kevin, Rudy, Ryan, Cody and Jay and the Canadian hunter in camp Ab and yes Ab is his name. I am looking forward to sharing another hunting camp with them soon.
