I just found out my Dad drew the muzzy tag this year. And we are excited. Try to make this short.

We may have a conflict (Co archery) He's 75 but gets around good. What do we do?? Turn in Co tags?? Hunt Co early (pre-rut) or hire a guide??

My concerns with a guide are they won't take his age/physical condition into account.

He's willing to do the guide thing but he'd get more satisifaction if it was just us.

2 questions: 1) what do you suggest?? And with a week to scout, horses to get him around and quality optics, how do you think we'd do on our own??

Thanks
 
I guided a guy in his mid 70's last year on a muzzy deer hunt and we had a blast!! He got a crack at the biggest nontypical I've ever seen on the hoof but unfortunately didn't connect on that shot. I honestly don't think you'll have a problem at all with most guides as long as you let them know about your dad's physical limitations before hand...also the guy I took out was able to go a lot further and hunt much longer than he told me he'd be able to before hand...I think once he got out there and was seeing the bucks his adrenaline took over lol :)

My second thought is hunting with my own dad, by ourselves, is the funnest and most rewarding hunting there is to me, so I'd have to go that route if I were in your shoes...and with horses/quality optics I think you guys would be just fine. Best of luck with your hunt(s) whatever way you decide to go, post pics later!! :)

GO KOBE GO!!

me..? call a few outfitters to get a feel of what they can offer and resent success..then turn CO back for points and cash! then DIY the hunt!
go with the gut feeling 1st and foremost!

Give Paul or Jon a call at Strawberry Bay Marina if you want to go guided. They will cater to your needs. I know because they took me last year and do to some disabilities I was limited what I could do. I did score on a 390 bull. They also took a hunter who was injured earlier and they took him out on the archery hunt, he got some shooting. 435-548-2261
