A welcome sight at night.

Joe, Congrats!!! Just a great buck. Love the story and the pics are indeed worth a 1000 words to a East Coast dweller. Beautiful scenery. Can't thank you enough for sharing.

Smiley had to return home on the 7th, and I was due in New Mexico for an elk hunt later in the month.  With only time to kill in between hunts I headed south toward Durango.  I had never been on the road through Ouray  and Silverton before, but had heard it was quite a drive.  That is an understatment!!

I call it buttpucker pass.  The white line outlining the shoulder of the road was literally inches away from the edge of the drop off to oblivion. Cross that line and you won't have to wonder where you will stop.  I have always enjoyed mountain roads, but this one tested even me....        
You can see the road winding across the side of the mountain on the right.

 


 

Joe, is that a road or a "goat path???"

   

Outstanding start Joe! Patiently awaiting the rest of the story.

Congrats on the Mulie!

Good job Joe! Congrats on a nice muley and a good story......Now for the elk hunt...... come on.   Btw, I drove buttpucker pass for the first time this year also. Only in the middle of the night...towing a trailer. Thats twice, first and last. Lol   Now on with it, will ya

Congrats Joe!  Great story, looking forward to the rest!

You're taking to this trad stuff pretty good, Joe.  Well done, again.  Very nice muley  

I've been on that "road" from Ouray to Silverton.  Definitely white knuckle time.  Don't think I'll do that one again.

Good one Joe! I'm glad Rod's class worked out for you. Mike

congrats on a fine buck.  

Congrats on a dandy mulie!

oneshot-onekill, That's an RER LX bow, 57# @ 30".  Gold Tip 55/75 arrows with Wensel Woodsman heads weighted up to 270 grains up front.

The RER has finally been "The Bow" for me.  I've had it for a little over a year now and it is running up quite a record.  I have actually kicked my bow buying and selling addiction  

congrats on the mulie, waiting for the rest,  


"bow buying and selling addiction" how do you cure that?

 

Good on ya, Joe! Happy for ya!

Great job on a fine animal.

AWSOME BUDDY  !!

Thats a mulie tag that didn't end up back in the drawer.  Really, really happy for you Joe.

Nice Muley Joe    I am a honest friend  :D

Really nice trip...well done.

congrats joe!  beautiful buck!
