I will be doing my annual elk hunt in SW Colorado in the San Juan mountains. I hunt with a guy from Durango who has the camping gear and knows the hunting ground very well. We camp at about 11500' in a canvas wall tent with a wood burning stove. It is a beautiful place and it is always a great hunt, unless it snows 14" two days before the season opener like it did in 2013!
This year I am taking along a non-hunting friend as an observer. That should be interesting. I hope it goes well. You never know until you are on such a trip with a person, however, how they will do in high altitude and slogging around the hills. If he can help carry out elk meat, that would be very helpful!

Colorado antelope in October & Elk in November. Didn't draw a mule deer tag but I'm looking for one via landowner voucher
The rest of the fall will be spent going after whitetails @ home with my bow and if that fails I will pull out the 270 in December.
Should be another good year.

I didn't draw Montana Sheep, Moose, and Goat again (that's 37 years straight for Goat), and am still waiting for the Montana Antelope and Buffalo draws.
I did buy Montana general Deer, Elk, and Mountain Lion tags, so will be chasing them.
I'm also booked for a Mozambique Leopard, Sable, and ?? antelopes hunt.
Hopefully my .300 Weatherby will get a good workout this year.
