just make sure to tie a rope around your waist and onto something solid, the sinkholes around here can be strong enough to suck you through your computer screen, never to be heard from again.

coues. and a rifle. mossberg patriot and gotcha i'll go check him out

If the rifle is accurate, I’d go with it. Binoculars, range finder, and spotting scope could all be helpful. Get the tag and I’m sure you’ll get some help from this site. Also, consider applying for Colorado deer.

I’d recommend going only if you have a mentor. YT teaches you so much but real world experience with someone who’s walked the walk is the best and SAFEST way.
