Hey, I'm native Coloradoan and proud of it. Born and raised in Steamboat Springs and now reside in Denver. "You can take the boy out of the mountains but can not take the mountains out of the boy".
Going archery hunting for a week south of Steamboat in later Sept. then going on guided deer hunt in South Dakota with good friends. Bucks are a minimum of 140 to 150 points.

I live in Thornton, for the last 20 or so years, native to Denver. Hunt anything I can get a tag for and a place the critter might be. Always looking for new people to talk to about hunting out here.

Been packing for 3 days and blowing my bull & elk calls. Driving the neighbors crazy. Sitting in my office waiting for Board of Director's Meeting and then going home to archery hunt those "Big Bad Boys". Damn, I feel like a kid. Maybe that is why I'm so passionate about archery hunting. Going south of Steamboat and will let you boys know on how it ends up by the end of the week. Stay loose and shoot straight!

Colorado Springs. I mostly bird hunt anymore. Last year I got Blue, sharptail and sage grouse but haven't done any grouse hunting this year. If anyone is interested in Pheasants Forever let me know. I do a lot of pheasant and quail hunting in CO, KS, NE, SD, OK and TX. I go to Kansas quite a bit. My favorite is Scaled Quail in Colorado.

Well, I said I would tell you guys of my archery hunt last week. I'll give you the two highlights. Last Thursday morning it was raining all night on Wednesday and major fog in Yampa Valley. This is my second year of arhcery hunting and I was by myself and bugled in a very nice 5x5. I nelt behind a small pine tree and it was no more than 10 yds. away. When it was in the lane that I was going to shoot, it caught my sent and bolted. Instead of shooting in heart, I hit the bull and the end of his lungs. I cow talked and he stoped and laid down 50 yds. away from me. I was so excited I called my best friend in Denver on my cell phone while I was in the woods looking at the Bull. It was like Play by Play telecast.
The bull got up in an hour and walked into the timber. I waited 2 1/2 hrs. and then followed the blood trail. It was like the yellow brick road. Then it stopped as I exited the timber to find one small spot. Did the circle thing for couple of hours and couldn't find any blood. Decided to go to the bottom of the draw and zig-zag my way back up. Couldn't find anything. I forgot to tell you that the draw the elk was in had ferns up to my waist and I'm 6'2".
Looked the next day and couldn't find. I really feel bad that I couldn't find the bull. Never lost one before. Also, I was so excited and proud of myself and now I feel like I did something wrong.
On Saturday, hunting with my best friend's nephew and we "buddy hunt". It really works. I called in a bull over a 30 minute period...the bull was broadside of my friend at 20 yards but he didn't shoot. Too small he said being a scronny 4x3 bull. I told him I respect that and damn, wasn't that exciting and the buddy systment works just like on the tapes.
Stay loose and shoot straight...I'll tell you about my hunt in S.D. in early Nov.
