No need to be jealous. I just happen to get lucky that was all. Anyway yes this year when we were out there we saw a bunch of mullies. Saw a few small bucks and one MONSTER!! It was at least a 4X4 ( I couldn't tell if he had any browtines). It was atleast 24 inches outside measurements. It was beautiful to watch.

I lived in Frisco, Co for 15 years back in the late 70's and early 80's. Was a union carpenter and help put the new hwy over Vail Pass and build Keystone for Ralston Purina, Vail, and Beaver Creek. A group of us used to hunt the Pionce Creek Basin every year and did extreamly well for quite a few years.....till the oil shale people came in and ruined it closing roads they had no right to shut down. Man we used to see some serious great mulie bucks!!!! Is the area more accessable now? We quit hunting there because when you pulled into camp and the sun came up on opening morning you had to have a bullet proof vest on for all the hunters shooting at anything that moved!!!! It got pretty scary. We started hunting across from Avon and we put quite a dent in both the mulie and wily wapiti population..... Big mulies up living on those headwalls in that area!!!! And the elk hunting was just as good!!!! that whole area around vail skii area and down into beaver Creek used to be one of the largest migration routes there was. I took my hunter saftey program in Vail in the 70's and they had a movie they showed with thousands of Elk and deer walking right across where the skii area is now....it was amazing!!!!!! I sure miss it up there....had some times of a lifetime in Summit County and the surrounding areas.....way back when there was only a 2 lane hiway going over Vail Pass and there was only 1 stoplight in the town of Frisco......the good old days are long gone....and it's a pure shame.......
