82 yoa Dad has eight deer points.....Colo

[Adventurewriter]

Greetings, My 82 year old dad has accumulated eight deer points. I work overseas/Iraq/Pakistan/Kosovo/Jordan and have been on the road for the last five years for the most part. I am going to be working a 9 weeks on 9 weeks off scedule next year and will have time to try and get dad his last chance at a good buck. Dad is fairly fit, but has had two knee replacements and to be honest alot of the hunting will probably be spotting from the road. Dad would be thrilled with a 160 or so buck but as always bigger is always better. We would consider paying a REASONABLE trespass fee for a quality plains hunt.... Hes not getting any younger and my future scedule might not afford me the time to dedicate to this so this is the year. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Try Scott Limmer with Comanche Wilderness Outfitters, kills good bucks every year on the plains. Honest hard working outfitter.

Thanks for the input but really not looking for an outfitter. Looking for a hunt I can get squared away for him and do with him. I will be the guide just looking for where the best place to go with his age related restrictions and his eight points.

Do you live in Colorado? If so check out unit 21 second season he might be able to draw it with 8 points. There are plenty of roads to spot from and should be able to find plenty of 160 to 170 class deer.

21 is on the short list for sure....once i get my actual scedule for next year I will be able to narrow it down.

Thanks
