Default RE: Colorado Archery season!

Man had a hard time getting here, forgot my pass word.

Just got back from Purgatorie valley. West of Trinidad, off Hwy 12, at the base of mountains that contain Trinchara peak.

Arrived Sunday the 31st. Drove back Sat. the 6th. Heard nothing saw nothing (except for dumb doe mule deer) saw lots of those. Camped at Purgatorie camp ground. Hunted pretty hard. Live at 400ft. above sea level, so that 10,000ft. mark slowed us down some, but we had horses to help a little. Found plenty of sign, tracks and poop, non real fresh. Couldn't figure out where they all went.

Kinda of think the hikers and joggers over Labor day Holiday might have spooked them over the mountain. Non of the other camps saw any either.

Anybody have any ideas?
