We had an amazing trip, our second hunt in North Park…learned a lot of new country as dads tag was valid for several of those units. It was time well spent and I am so proud of the effort dad and our group put in scouting before the season and during the hunt but leaving CO, his cow tag was still unfilled.
We saw almost as many bulls as we did cows. Saw a couple lone cows on private and Dad passed on a couple cows with young calves and the one opportunity during the season on a calf less cow, he wasn’t satisfied with his rest and when making a move to get a more solid position, the cow took off. We scouted 3 days prior to 3rd season and hunted HARD for the first five days before family obligations 17 hours away necessated us getting home. No regrets but it was much more difficult than we had anticipated for a cow. Had we been able too make it out for 1st or 2nd season, I wonder if it would have been easier.
