"foreskin does not look too promising"
It doesn't look promising to me either, theridge.
Some really nice bucks being killed but nothing close to the anticipated and much "hyped" hunt of the century. Lots of preference points burned. Lots of checks written for vouchers and probably quite a few pretty sour experiences.
I think the quality of buck hunting here in Colorado would have suffered immensely if we had gotten a substantial snowfall and accumulation prior to the third season opener. The later season structure this year and the snow would have combined to make bucks much too vulnerable IMO. Its a strange irony that this later season dates and the hype for the great quality of deer hunting ended up having a third season with t-shirt weather and highs in the 60's and 70's. Who'da thunk.
As far as Bambi's ? "Where are the CO deer?" From what I saw, scattered high and low with big buck tracks still all the way up at 10,500' as of last Thursday.
