Default Back from Colorado

Had a fun 2nd Rifle season in Colorado. My daughter was able to take a heavy horned 173 4/8” Mule Deer with a 290 yard shot. Very proud of her! We got her boyfriend his first big game animal, a 6x5 217” bull elk. He was beyond excited!



Her buck in velvet on Aug 21st:




Can’t forget the “Selfie”:

Looks like a great trip Rob.


Did you have any tags this year?


As always, thanks for sharing the photos.

Congratulations Rob. Another couple of pins in your custom map at the cabin. Nice looking deer and elk. Tell Michael he needs to shave. That elk looks great in a Ford....

Yes I had a bull tag but wasn’t able to close the deal. More interested in making sure my daughter got a good deer and hoped we could get her boyfriend on some elk. It all worked out!

His harvest map is getting pretty impressive. Lots and lots of pins. Colorado is a pretty amazing place.
