I am going to hunt elk at Vermejo Park Ranch in southeastern Colorado in two weeks. What is the current state of affairs concerning Chronic Wasting Disease in this area of the State?

The USDA states it is found in Wyoming and Colorado. Where in Colorado?

Good luck!

Thanks Richard. According to that site, it appears to have been limited to elk herds in the northeastern part of the state.

Did I ever tell you I eventually bought a SIG Sauer 229 in .40 S&W? Great gun.

I didn't know you got a Sig 229--I like them.

Do you plan on going to Millbrook this weekend?

Richard

Yes, I'll be there Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I have entered my Dickson hammergun in the Concours d'Elegance, vintage class.

Will you be there?

I'll be there the whole time. I hope it is cooler than in years past.
