Gone Huntin'


Jeremy drew an archery tag for Colorado mule deer this year so he's been trying to find time to hunt for himself amongst guiding and scouting for customers. This past week we had some free time so we headed over to Colorado to try to find a monster buck. Find him, we did, but it turns out that getting close enough to shoot him with a bow is a lot harder than I thought. We were hunting in canyon country and it was rough. We walked about 10 miles each day and it was either straight up or straight down. Luck wasn't in our favor but we got to see some pretty country so it was worth it even without a trophy to bring home.

To the left is the view I saw most of the time as I had a hard time keeping up with Jeremy's long
stride.

Yes, the rocks were steep, but we unleashed our inner mountain goat and went right up 'em. The one below included.
