Colorado Mule Deer Hunt (Pics)
 

Just thought I'd share a few photos from my 07 Mule Deer hunt. I hunted the 3rd rifle season in Colorado. It was my first experience out West and I'm looking forward to going back.

I bought a self guided hunt. It took me a few days to find a good buck. Unfortunately I never got close enough. I got within 50 yards while it was on posted land I didn't have permission to hunt. On the last day, I decided to shoot a smaller buck. It was a great trip. I saw a lot of game. Here are a few photos:

GREAT PICS....If you don't mind my asking, how much did a hunt like that cost?

CPO player - the hunt was $2,300 which only included the license (land owner tag for zone 82) and lodging. The outfitter spent about four hours with me the day prior to the season. He drove me around to show me prime areas and provided me with topo maps and other advice. By the time you include airfare, food, rental of a 4x4 vehicle, gas, and additional gear (first time out west), it was closer to $4,500. Next time I'll drive out and keep itto about $3,000. I looking forward to a rematch with the larger buck that evaded me.

The outfitter was Palmer Outfitters at http://www.palmeroutfitters.com/.

I was hunting in zone 82 just north of Saguache pronounced (sa-watch). I took 130 pics so I'll post a few more later

Allen - those are some good lookin pics. Just out of curiosity why do you go through an outfitter and pay all that extra $? There is an abundance of public land in most western states with over the counter nonres tags for cheap! ($260 in ID) It's hard to not tag out where I hunt in ID. My out of state buds usually always leave with 4x4's. Just a thought.
