Gotta love it.

Thanks guys. It was a great experience. She actually spotted the buck. I'd overlooked it. One shot from her Moms old 270 closed the deal.

Pretty tickled. Hunted hard. Didn't see much. Bucks,does,even tracks. Not near the number of deer we saw last year. Glad her first hunt didn't end up tag soup.

Thanks guys. We travel through Canon City and Salida on our way over to Gunnison. Hunting 66 again for deer. My daughter has a tag for second season. Id hate to head that way to find the highway closed next Friday.

Thanks!

Where can I stay abreast of road closures and the like? Figuring on traveling through Salida on the 18th.

Nice! Mile high rack on that guy. I love 66. My daughter will be on the gun this fall. She drew a second season tag. We're pretty stoked to get out there again. Good job buddy.

66 second season deer. Put my daughter in.

Without a pretty pronounced weather event,it's more of a vacation than a hunt. The later seasons are prime.

Chit. It's tough all over. Colorado is flirting with hard times too right now. Give me a holler sometime Bill.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-19 AT 04:40AM (MST)[p]I'm hoping to get her into the same unit I hunted in 2018. She should be right on the bubble for points provided creep doesn't weigh in too heavily. I've been hunting Colorado since 2011. The Gunny basin in particular. Im well versed in the p-point...

Hey all. Got a question. I'm putting my daughter in for a Coorado mule deer hunt. The odds are long, but it's the hunt we need to take. Who knows,might just draw. On the flip side. If we don't draw I'd like to take a calling vacation. When I was a call maker,I flew to New Mexico to call coyote...
