Great color phase!
holy crap Corbet, I would have about soiled myself.. did mama see you guys?
And last weekend the kids and I went for a walk around near Fairplay.. in a half mile we saw 3 elk, 1 moose, and 8 deer. I know you're not allowed to plunk them off your deck but geez, seems like everything is out and about right now. Earlier that day we were in Broomfield, a fox walked down the street in front of our house in the morning, then we saw a coyote in the open space on our run. And we always see at least a couple antelope around the Jefferson area. I think that was a record for wildlife sightings in one day.

Oh, yah she saw us. Then took her cubs up and over the ridge. Pretty sure it's the same three I kept running into last Elk Season.
Anyone have any luck hunting? 2nd season down here was terrible. More like well armed hiking than hunting. Coule neighbors filled there 3rd season tags.

Second was rough but filled my third season tag....If we had a horse all of us would have filled our tags!

I only saw a few cows, nothing with antlers. We were outside of Buena Vista. We even hiked above tree line and still didn't get into any bulls. Everyone we talked to in the area did not fill their tags.
Congrats on your cow, Travis.

Congratulations Trav! Hopefully we see and can help some take a nap this week! Headed out at damn early o'clock in the morning for upper corner of the state.
Congrats Travis, how did you end up with two tags?

Looks like those scope adjustments I made worked out well.

sounds like you need an old Stevens .30-30 / 12 gauge over under for such a hunt.

We got skunked 3rd season. It was too warm and the neighbors running their track hoe up and down the trail didn't help either.
My son Logan had a youth cow tag though, and with the snow on Thursday we decided to take advantage of the youth extended season. The snow moved the elk down right to where we camp and Saturday morning Logan got his first elk.
