Well, I saw AZ said to check the portal. Just for kicks i did while driving home. Darn near wrecked the truck. I drew the random 23N early rifle for Elk. Uh, looks like I’m going elk hunting. If the unit doesn’t burn down, I’ll be there. Yeah Baby!
We had elk tenderloin one night and I tried elk osso bucco the 2nd night. steaks were good. OB was okay so got some refining to do on my recipe. Not giving up on it.
Pre-Christmas hunt with the boys this year was a success. Not the way I grew up hunting but fun to see all the game And spend time with my 2 boys. The oldest saw several nice bucks but passed looking for something bigger than the one he killed a couple years ago. My youngest killed a hog...
I would not do 48 with 8 points unless u want to try muzzleloader. I have hunted 1st rifle 3 times. Great hunt 1st year - late rut. Struggled last 2 hunts.
I‘ve hunted the Muzzleloader hunt a few years back. Probably a different hunt for you with the rut over. Lots of elk. Wind in your face and go find ‘em. Trust your gut and cover ground for fresh sign.
Congrats on the elk. Sounds like a fun trip...though I always expect a grouse report as well from you. You know it’s an active elk hunt when there is no mention of thunder chickens in your story.
“feed” one to the bears, have someone rear end you on the travel, have one get hurt packing a load...and your short $5k per llama. Same thing for horses usually too. Part of the rental agreement.
When I rented llamas, I was told they are hard or next to impossible to catch if they get free...
Well, I decided to turn my deer tag back in and get points reinstated. I’ve got a fishing trip to FL with some old college buddies in Oct and a couple deer and pig hunts still here in TX. I just have a bad feeling about the drought CO is experiencing and will invest my points in the future...
I need to explore a new sleeping pad (currently Big Agnes). I just slide too much on my existing. What are you using that you like? I‘m a side sleeper so need a little more cushion.
Also looking for a new butane lighter. Carry a bic, matches and a nice (don’t remember the brand) lighter...
