Back from my Colorado deer hunt,four deer and one elk.

[pa mt man]

I shot my bull on saturday the first day,a little 4x4 so I could concentrate on mule deer. It was the fourth elk I had seen after setting up my 75 year old friend in a blind that morning. I couldn't get a shot on the first one and I'm not going to say what happened on the next two, except that I'm not the marksman I thought I was. I got the elk just before sunset and got it ready to pack out for the next day.
I let some of my friends elkhunt there the next morning while my sons and I scouted for mule deer. We saw some bucks but no shooters,for my son's tastes anyway. I told them I liked one of the ones I saw and if he was there monday morning I was going to shoot him. Well I did. Not much of a hunt. Parked the jeep on one hill and shot him where I thought he would be. About a quarter mile away, all level hike. I think everyone expected more of me. Oh well I'm happy. I will post pics as soon as I get them. My son and brother ended up shooting bucks on the last day and a half that they passed on or said they wouldn't shoot. The one 2x2 we have on video crossing into the private land before the season opened. Moreammo said he wouldn't shoot that one. He ended up shooting it friday morning, the last day we were there.

Thanks guys. If you look to the right of my boy's face,that's our camp in the background.
NHY my boy and I got in a little fight about the pics. I told him they suck(I still think they do) and his reply was "we aren't photographers". He got that right.
