Those antlers (and bears!)are growing! Only 18 days til the hunt!

Took these on the way to work yesterday. Nice buck with several more weeks of growing left! I am blessed to see animals like this almost every day. Now if the state would just send me a deer tag!!!!

steadman · July 02, 2011, 05:57:00 PM

Nice bucks for sure. No muley tag here either, man what a kick in the gut!

Elksong · July 02, 2011, 06:15:00 PM

I know that the draw system is helping our deer come back, but it is painful not to be able to chase these boys in the fall!

Jack Guard · July 02, 2011, 06:20:00 PM

Beautiful. I can totally put my self in the edge of that meadow scouting out for fall. Always love your photographs.

Thanks Jason

Jason,beautiful pictures,what make and type of camera did you use,those pics are awesome!,thanks steve.

BoonRoto · July 03, 2011, 02:00:00 AM

Comin along nicely!

Shedrock · July 03, 2011, 10:00:00 AM

Thanks for the great pics! Mule deer are my favorite to hunt, and I can't wait for season.

You have no OTC areas in Colorado?

Tater · July 03, 2011, 10:24:00 AM

Those are some great looking Mule Deer that first picture is very impressive.!

Tracy,
That is correct no OTC Mule Deer or Whitetail tags in CO.

Shedrock · July 03, 2011, 10:50:00 AM

Wow, I knew there was no non-res OTC tags, but no resident either? I feel fortunate living here, but there are many areas here that need to be on a draw basis because of dwindling deer numbers.

scedvm · July 03, 2011, 11:05:00 AM

Elksong, those are great pics! I love hunting muleys as well. I had a little luck and drew a decent tag this year. My hunt starts on Sept. 1 so your photos are trying my patience!.....Shawn

Elksong · July 03, 2011, 01:54:00 PM

Thank for the compliments on the pic's, all. Steve, the camera is a Canon Powershot SX30 IS, good little camera, just a point and shoot type, nothing fancy.
Shawn Good luck with that tag! I still have a chance at a tag, not in the unit where any of these deer are, but I have one more chance in the left over draw lottery.
These two were taken at 100 plus yards so the quality isn't great....

Jason,I can feel your sufference,but I think DOW is making a good job.We need to restore the mule deer herds.

knobby · July 03, 2011, 03:09:00 PM

Just got back from the 3-D range,only to see these pics of some nice bucks. Schlaggerman and I drew tags for Wyoming, so the mulie shots are just what I like to see. I always enjoy the photos that you share with us.Thank you.

Elksong · July 03, 2011, 06:42:00 PM

Hoping to get out again in the a.m. and see what's moving. Would really like find some bulls....

Elksong · July 05, 2011, 06:26:00 PM

Well I didn't get out yesterday, but I found a bull in the hay this a.m.. Just a little guy, but good to see some Elk.

Elksong · July 06, 2011, 05:59:00 PM

I don't know how he did it, but I bet it HURT!

Elksong · July 06, 2011, 06:01:00 PM

The elk have been giving me a run for my money! They are skittish this year....

jimmerc · July 06, 2011, 07:09:00 PM

Now if that don't get the string fingers a itching!!!!
