Headed a little ways South to check out a new area for elk and turkeys, I found some beautiful country (not hard in CO), but no sign of the turkeys...
Maybe next weekend I'll get lucky and find some. At the very least I'll be spending time in a gorgeous place with a good buddy or two, livin' the dream...

It was hazy and windy yesterday, but that didn't stop us from roaming around a little while.

There were at least a dozen in here. I guess they only enter water to mate so we got kinda lucky to see so many at once.
These cacti caught my eye for some reason...

Thanks, everyone! Maybe next weekend I can show you all a turkey thread...
Thanks Damon for showing us some pretty looking country. Are you going to be shooting a Thunderchicken out in CO or here in MI. Good luck either way.
Burton, I should be getting a chance to hunt both this year if I can make it back to MI before May...
