2022 CO Deer High Country/Pack Goats

[Duck-Slayer]

Opening morning has been a bust so far. Maybe 7 deer in this basin last night and this morning. 1 Doe, 5 forkys, and 1 decent 2x3, super tall. Nothing that is peaking my interest though,

I love father/daughter hunts!

It is mind boggling that your were glassing and drafting Fantasy Football simultaneously.

Talked to an elk hunter from Alabama last night, he told me about a couple bucks above camp, still hunted it this morning. Saw them at about 50 yards, small 3 and a small 4, they got the pass. This trophy hunting is for the birds I think lol… not to many times I have done this ha

Just how much weight can a pack goat carry?

These are a few breakfast burritos that I made for CO and NV this next week. Ingredients are as follows:
Red/gold potatoes 2 per
Than a bit of syrup
Than 1/2 cup cheese
Than 2 slices of bacon
Than about 2 eggs
Roll up tight, put in tin foil, I pack a quart freezer bag just in case I need to boil it, if there’s a fire closure. 3 per gallon zip lock.
I usually eat these the first 2-3 days when we pack in.

Sunday night was pretty much the same as the morning, still hunted again and saw the same small bucks, got 35, 81, and 82 yards from the 2x3.

Monday morning was fairly eventful persay. I still hunted the same mountain again. This time I came across a cow moose! That was pretty cool. I also snuck up to 35 yards on a Doe. Than to top it off on the way back got to 60 and 45 yards of a new 2x3 that had just stripped his velvet. If he still had velvet he would have been in trouble! Got back to camp around 10am, threw everything in the truck, loaded the goats and drove the 12 hours back home to get my daughter back for school this morning. All in all it was a great trip. Colorado disappointed some, but with daytime highs at 87 degrees and the deer hardly moving around and staying in the shaded timber all day it was a tough hunt. Lots of other excuses I could come up with I’m sure lol

Daddy daughter hunts are not about killing. If you do it’s just a bonus. Congrats on a successful hunt.

 

[Duck-Slayer]

We had a wonderful time!
