With a little over 2 weeks until season starts been scouting and hanging stands/ ground blinds. The season i drew is a rifle tag (you can archery hunt during rifle here), I have one buck tag and one doe tag. This season is great down by me and seeing 200 inch plus deer is a reality. Here are a few that have been moving down.

The big cedar tree in the back left of the two bucks below has a stand in it, 12 yard shot!

Welcome back! :)
Shooting sticks has been so much more fun for me the past 20-25 yrs with sticks than wheels...
But you have them memories of all those bull encounters! That has to count for something.
As C.Lamb is quoted to have said, Being there is good enough"
Now go have some trad fun for them big ole floppy ears!
-
Good luck with your refound drive!
-
wow, ya got some dandy bucks there to chase! anxious to see a kill pic.
-
glad you dumped the baggage, good luck on your deer hunts !!
-
More and bigger deer will move down in the next few weeks. This is one of the bigger ones I was able to get on a cam from 2 years ago. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/wifishkiller/Colorado%20hunting%202009/PASTURE-11-10-09001.jpg)

Adam, good luck with the mulies to both you and your Dad. I'm really looking forward to tagging along on this hunt.

Good snows up high pushed a ton of deer down, saw over 200 head tonight!
-
Good luck!

Was able to get this guy the other night after scouting for deer. Shot was around 13 yards on the ground. He only went a few yards after the shot. There are a ton of these around this year. I also saw a black one but couldn't get him in range.

This morning we saw over 20 bucks and this crazy non-typical! He is the number one on my list and my dads. The picture doesn't do him justice, that drop is at least 10 inches long! Tomorrow can't get here soon enough.

Thanks guys! Headed back up the mountain now, got pounded with snow today. Will see how it goes, the doe tag is starting to burn a hole in my pocket already lol.
-
Good luck! Stout looking bucks! U on the west slope?
-
Down by Durango.
-
Right on, good luck tomorrow! Weather forecast up here shows a high of 40the with little wind. Should be perfect for you!
-
Good luck!!
-
Have fun out there
-
Heading to a stand in a bit, going to stick a doe tonight if one comes close. Saw a few bucks this morning but all were small. Hopefully tonight!
-
Got to the stand around 130pm, cold and snowy for the first few hours. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/wifishkiller/posted%20pics/298070_2312182562853_1198076584_32155571_154411462_n.jpg)At 4 the first does showed up but couldn't get a good shot so I let them walk. At about 5 I hear a bunch of deer coming down the ridge. Pick out a big one at 25yards and pick a spot on her chest and let her fly. Found this where she was standing.

30 yards down the draw, she was piled up! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/wifishkiller/posted%20pics/IMG_2017.jpg)

Very good! :thumbsup:

Great photos, Adam. I can see why your so pumped, Colorado high, amazing deer. Go do it.. :thumbsup:
-
Woo Hoo! Nice job!
-
Congrats on the gargantuan doe! Now get out there and whack that big buck!
-
Saw a few small bucks this morning, we need the weather to clear up a bit lots of deer bedded up. We should have a break in the weather starting tomorrow. Going to hit a ground blind tonight, will see if a good one shows up.
Thanks for all the comments guys!
-
Hey Adam, good to see you posting. Nice doe and pictures. Good luck on the 200 inch buck!
-
Thanks Shaun, yea back to the sticks for good. I finally found some good bucks tonight, 3 over 170! My dad might bring out the bang stick and shoot the one that makes BC tomorrow.
-
A sad day around the house, the old man shot over the 180+ 4x4.......
-
That sucks. How far?
-
lol close enough where he looked at me and said 'don't even start'.
-
Looks like you are having a great season. That's a big muley doe!
-
It was nice of you to let your Dad have first crack at that buck. I believe your number should be up next. Time to show him, and the rest of us, how it's done. Good luck and looking forward to the future posts. Congrats on the doe. too. Nice shot!
-
Thanks guys for the kind words. Yea been trying real hard to get my dad his first big deer (over 170) we've been on a bunch and honestly had more chances at big to giant deer then we deserve! My dad lives up in Denver so he doesn't get the same chances I get down by my house. I have big deer in the yard most days. I'll be more then happy taking any buck, although I wont punch the tag on a little guy until Saturday or Sunday!
-
Where in Colorado are you located?
-
By Durango
-
man, colorado posts make me envious. Hope you get that big one. Hunting mulies in the snow with a bow looks like a blast. some day i will make it out there
-
Okay, I was curious because I may be moving to the Colorado Springs area.
Keep enjoying yourself! Thanks for sharing.
-
Congrats on the doe my muley season doesn't start til Jan. 1 and I am getting antsy! Love the Durango area that is where I grew up and still miss it.
-
Well season ran down and we were un able to arrow a nice buck. Now I'll be back hunting predators and maybe a late season cow elk, we shall see!
-
Sorry you didn't connect on one with bone, but that was a great doe. They'll be even bigger next year.
