Colorado ends on the 20th and new mexico starts on the 24th. A nice 2 day break before i head up to new mexico. Hopefully the unit aint burned down by then. Freakin fire up on Raton pass is massive.
I got the elk for ML season, so we'll be hunting that at the same time.
Plus I got a tag that might be for just this year. It's to thin out the does in this area. Normally, we can only hunt for bucks here. The want to make sure whoever gets the tags gets a doe, so the season is 3 months long from Sept 1st to Nov 31st. I don't want to take one right away. Then my season is done. I just love the act of hunting, so i'm going to milk it as long as I can. I'll hunt like normal and see how close I can get, but I won't pull the trigger until i'm into Nov. It will take some self control to not take the kill, but I think I can do it, and it will be fun. Plus i'm hunting for months. A rare opportunity in Colorado.
