Title: Colorado bound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Mohillbilly on September 09, 2010, 02:19:00 PM
Leaving Sat. am for Colorado.  Will be hunting with 7 other fellas in the Estes Park area.  

I am stoked, jazzed, buzzed, tweaked, and feeling like a schoolboy.  YAY! Apparently the bulls are beginning to talk in the area we are going to be in.  They have seen a 6x6 and 4x4 already.  

Anybody remember the church dance scene in the "Blues Brothers"......that's me!

Sure! Rub it in.

Now the rest of us have to stay home and wait for deer season to open    :banghead:  

One of my friends just headed out this AM for CO and I wish I could have went along      :mad:  

Good Luck! Have Fun & be Safe. Let us know how you did when you get back.

sounds like that area might be a little smokier than usual.

Hope the fire doesn't screw up their hunt.

Good luck on your hunt....Estes is a cool town. If you tag out early and are looking for a place to enjoy a good meal try The Rock Inn. Fun place.

OUCH, my buddy just made the trek from Upstate New York and back.  Be safe and good luck Matt!

I may have this hunt confused with our's that is out of Glendevey, CO, looks much further North in CO than Estes Park.  

Either way, good luck to all!  :archer2:
