Me and my boys and their friend on a backpacking/scouting trip to Colorado

Colorado Backcountry Scouting

High Country 190 Buck

My six year old son, Pearce after a long night camping on the mtn. We backpacked in and he burned his hand on a hot coal that night. He didnt sleep all night. Good thing he's tough!!!

Another morning on the mountain with the kids after a good hike in for an overnighter/scouting trip

Found this fun bedded buck one morning

My son Easton had an elk tag this year. This was Easton and Preston, along with their friend Landon hiking in to hunt

Easton connected on this spike for his first big-game animal.

Here's a nice buck we found during the bowhunt

Found this Mountain Goat Skull while scouting this summer. First time I have found a Mtn Goat skull

My buddy Matt Bateman killed this buck on the bowhunt. I took a picture of the buck through my spotting scope from 2000 yards away before we made our stalk. 4 hours later we killed this buck.

Matts buck where he fell

Me and Matt with his 180" Archery Muley. Huge congrats to Matt on making a great shot when the chips were down!!

Hunting at sunset in the high country

Here's the buck I connected on

My son Easton on our rifle hunt. He had a Utah rifle tag. This is our little camp after a long backpack hike into the high country. He did awesome on the hike in

Our toasty warm campfire that night....

Easton connected on his first muley the next morning. Last minute buck. Easton made an awesome shot to take this buck. I was a proud papa and he was thrilled!

My 2013 season ended with this whitey back in Illinois

Awesome pictures and great memories it looks like. Nothing better than sharing those moments and experiences with family and friends.

Congrats on all your success.

"The movement for the conservation of wildlife,
and the conservation of all our natural resources,
are essentially democratic in spirit,purpose and
method."

"We do not intend that our natural resources shall
be exploited by the few against the interests of the
majority. Our aim is to preserve our natural
resources for the public as a whole, for the
average man and the average woman who make
up the body of the American people."

"It is in our power...to preserve game..and to give
reasonable opportunities for the exercise of the
skill of the hunter,whether he is or is not a man of
means."

Your kids are really lucky. My compliments on spending time with your kids in a positive way. My guess is they will become adults you will enjoy spending time with. Great pictures as well.

The boys are a "chip off the old block"!
They even resemble grandpa, especially with the Ute logos on their head.
You will never regret those kids tagging along and the pictures will only grow in value.
Very cool memories.
Thanks for sharing.
