    I may get out for a goose hunt next week. T has a local connection. I've never been goose hunting and only mildly interesting but this is a golden opportunity. Its currently 64F outside. Probably another bird or small game hunt in early 2026, but frankly my mind is already on 2026 fishing...

    On Saturday, I woke up way too early to pick up T and N for a pheasant hunt. This was mostly for the dogs, as Colorado pheasant hunting just isn't great. It was not pleasant weather- 40mph winds and 23 degrees. However, it was one of the best bird number days I've ever had. Mostly hens, but we...

    Seems like action has been slower than normal this year?

    This was essentially home for the 10 day hunt. In the back of the truck, I have thise interlocking foam rubber mats on the bed. This makes it easier on the knees, and keeps feet much warmer. On the driver's side I had a cot with a couple pillows, a comforter and a sleeping bag. Underneath the...

    More just a story that corroborate wardens being a useful source of camping info, but DM sent anyway. 🙂

    Kansas Deer Hunt Questions

    One year just west of KS we were being checked by the warden. We mentioned we were camping and he asked if we were at a certain place. I was like, no, never heard of it, we are 20 minutes further away ... and then we always camped at the place he mentioned after that.

    Crossing State lines & Euromounts

    Colorado CWD results take days to weeks. If you're lucky enough to harvest, you'll cut off the head, including leaving a vertebra, take it to a sampling station, they'll immediately sample and give you back the head, then proceed with the euro process.

    Just a doe and a fawn this morning. That's a wrap on 3rd season deer. Maybe I'll have some closing thoughts later.

    Lst night's king of the mountain. I decided to hunt a ridge/canyon that lead to where I had last seen the big buck, but a totally different direction than where I had been set up in the morning. During my drive, im pretty sure I spotted him feeding out on the private at 2pm, but I was on a one...

    Shortly after watching the two forks fight, I spotted a really good buck heading into some aspens almost a mile away. I hunted for another hour or so, but with the heat everything was bedding pretty quickly. Even though it was only a mile, I had to practically drive out to town to come in a...

    Last night I decided to climb to a higher ridge and look over a nasty opening. I only realized later that I was looking at the "worse" half of it. It didn't pay off directly, but i was also able to glass some of the open ridges behind me. At 515 ( end of shooting light is 522 ), I spotted a...

    What a view this morning. If only it contained some bucks. Had a single doe fairly close, 6 does about 900 yards out, and 7 does way out there. Left around 1030 and walked into fellow hunttalker @dmarsh2 glassing from the ridge halfway back.

    It was annoyed for a day or so, then faded, so nothing serious, thank goodness! This morning I put down the big glass and did a ridge hike instead. The spot took some thinking to access, so I hoped it might hold some hidden deer, but it wasn't the case today. I'm feeling like the bucks...
