Well we had a great 9 days hunting here in our home state of beautiful Colorado. The kids all had tags (not kids anymore 24,23,and 20 years old now) and my daughter killed the first buck of the season opening morning around 8:45. Her best buck to date.
Then my oldest son filled his tag on...
Dad and I had another great muley hunt. It was a very warm season, but we stiil seen up to 25 deer every day with 5-6 being bucks. The best buck we found was on opening day around 8:30 in the morning. Dad got to within 90 yards of him, but was not comfortable with the shot and did not take it...

Well my 13 year old nephew took his first elk Saturday evening with my son Arlan at his side during the 1st rifle season here in Colorado. Arlan spotted them and got him set up on the backpacks to make the shot with Cobi's dads 300 RUM.
He has had a great year with taking his first muley...
Well we had another wonderful muley hunt. It started opening morning when I got my niece on a beautiful buck. She was able to get the job done after a not so good shot and some long tracking, but I guess that makes for a longer hunting story. It was an emotional rollercoaster for her with tears...
Well I am back from another great muley hunt with my father and my nephew hunted this year with us also. We had a great time as always and I cannot waite for the next muley hunt !
Opening morning I got my nephew on a great heavy 3x3, "BUT" he ended up shooting low and missing the buck. So we...

Well I decided to have the big muley sheds I found during 2nd rifle season mounted on a half euro (fake) skull. They are turning out great. All that is left is finishing coloring them.
The day I found them
On the skull
I will post the finished pics when I bring him home. We will be...
Great hunt and just an amzing time spent with my youngest son Arlan. We passed up lots of bucks and several good bucks (which amazed me that my son would pass several of them). My son never even fired a shot until Wednesday, and then I blew it by not ranging it twice, and having him aim to high...
Well we are back from are 2nd season Colorado hunt and man did we have fun. My wife had asked me two weeks before season if she had to shoot a little one and I smiled and said its your tag. My wife and son both had buck tags, but I had the first succes Tuesday.
My son and I went for a short...
Well it did not take us long Saturday morning as we ended the hunt early with a super heavy bull and was back at camp by 11:45 a.m.. It was an awesome scream fest this morning with even some fighting thrown in. It was amazing !
The bull was the 2nd biggest in the group and my brother could not...
Well I just got back from a great 9 day hunt with my father. We saw quite a few deer even though it was a little slow in the begining with opening day being one of the most depressing and exciting morning hunts of my life.
It started with myself, my daughter, and my father heading to her unit...
Went back out yesterday to see if I could get into my "GOOD" shed hunting area. We almost made it to the top to head back down to the low country, but the snow is still to deep.
We saw these bad boys on the way up. Always cool to see those desert bighorns.
Then of course the fun...
Arlan and I went out again Saturday. We hiked 4 1/2 miles further west hoping to get into some country nobody else has been in (the area is roadless and has always been roadless), only to find atv tracks everywhere and no sheds. :mad:
We did get to see some cool country though and enjoy each...
My youngest son (Arlan) and I went out yesterday looking for sheds and checking out some country I have not been in since 1988. It was great telling him stories and showing him the country my dad, brother, and I use to trap and hunt rabbits in back in the 80's before the road closures.
We seen...
In the 2008 archery season my 14 year old nephew, Daniel, took his very first elk with a bow. The bull ended up officially grossing just over 325 and netting just over 315. A bull that will be tough to top in an OTC unit.
It actually got finished in the taxidermist shop in August, but I just...
