Safe and productive hunting!

All you say is true, Lloyd. No doubting. But to have your son and old friends in a high hunting camp again. What a gift. Savor every minute.

Gentlemen, thankyou as always. My boy got his deer yesterday, so hooray! Small victories seem like big ones when it comes to kids, eh? I am enjoying the company of all of my compatriots and savoring the feel of walking in good country, rifle in hand. More to come, hopefully.

I'm back. It was good week, but not without challenges.

Snow changes everything, eh?

My son and I both had deer and elk tags, but as soon as we got out into the field we could tell that the warnings from the Colorado Department of Wildlife about a bad winter kill last year were valid. Where we would normally expect to see lots of game we simply didn't.



Didn't happen this year...(this was 2020)



But, this did. My boy got a small doe, so all is good in my book. Killed with a pretty little .270 Winchester lightweight he was lent by my buddy (much easier to carry and less-hard on small deer than his grandfather's rifle). We had a great time working two separate units, one for deer and one for elk. He had to go back to school on Sunday but he seemed to really enjoy himself and the crew we had assembled and he wants to do it again next year (music to my ears!).

Pretty country up there (the fog is from a reservoir that hasn't frozen over quite yet)...






but, there are a few less-pretty things too.
