Colorado Elk results are not posted yet but available by phone for those who can't wait.
I obviously couldn't wait and called found that my son and I drew 3rd season Bull tags, two friends got there Cow tags for the same season.
My brother doesn't want to spoil his anticipation and is waiting for the computer results to come out.
Good luck in the drawings to you all.

I guess I'll be the camp pack mule for you guys since I didn't draw!

I can always use a good mule! Wink Although I've kind of skated out of doing my share the last couple of years. Eeker If the elk is too far back there, we'll just send Snell home for a horse.

BTW did my brother help you out last night? Maybe I'll see you around this weekend, if you are able to put that varmint trip together.

Deer results are now available if you call the DOW office.
My son drew a 4th season Buck tag!
I am now the proud owner of 12 Deer points (watch out next year!)
If I want to hunt with my son I need to corner a landowner voucher Eeker.
Good luck on the Deer drawing!

Backdoor is now open for elk tags. Looks like I drew my muzzle loader bull tag!

I don't shoot elk at 600 yards for the same reasons I don't shoot ducks on the water, or turkeys from their roosts. If this confuses you then you're not welcome in my hunting camp.

The back door is open for deer, too, and I drew my buck tag, at least I'm assuming I drew it. Looks like I won't be just a camp pack mule after all!!!

Snell, I thought your son didn't want to hunt elk any more after our little adventure last year! How quickly one's mind changes!

I just checked the CO DNR website and discovered that my 13-year-old son will be going on his first elk hunt. Either-sex for early rifle season! (I didn't put in for a tag; I'll be his guide.) Just had cow elk on the grill for dinner last night. I know he'll want to shoot a bull, and that would be great, but I certainly wouldn't mind another cow at all.

Now to get the boy on a mountain-hunting training program!

Preference point totals have been updated for all three species (elk, deer, antelope). You don't see official results for deer and antelope yet, but if you have one more preference point, well, the results are pretty obvious.

Points for me.

Now its time ti figure out if I can pick up some vouchers or left overs to be able to do any hunting this year. Bummer, but, 5 deer points now.


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

Drew a cow tag for the area west of Hayden.

So my friends in CO will take pity on me and let me tag along.

Legistine actu quod scripsi?

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

Great to see I finally got my Archery tag for unit 12 first season. Anyone hunted there before. I've done some camping and hiking in the Vaughn Lake area in the late 70's but haven't been up there lately.

No elk this year, just another preference point in my continuing quest for an Area 2 Bull in the future. I've got 17 now, so I'm getting closer. Still about 4 or 5 years from getting that tag. It will be my retirement present for myself since I'll be leaving the Navy about then.

But I did pull my 2nd choice for deer. Got a late season doe tag for area 102. So, I'll head to my buddy's ranch on the Republican River by Wray and put one of those tasty corn fed whitetail beauties in the freezer come Dec.

Will only get a preference point for antelope when they come out. But I also put in for 2 doe antelope tags in WY and am still waiting to see what NH does for moose.

Drew a first season any elk tag. I think that was my third choice, oh well, chalk up another preference point.
Muzzleloader doe tag.
No word on Antelope yet.

WOW! Eeker
I'm thinking there's not much you can't draw with those points, what are you holding out for?
RFW?

Did not draw Elk or Antelope, but did draw a mule deer tag on the Air Force Academy! These are LARGE bucks and you do have to hunt them.
