Just got back late last night from CO, Had a good time hunting but didn't bag anything but had a couple of chances, one a 3X3 popped out of the spruce at 10 yds and didn't give me a chance to get pulled back before he spotted me and the other my son and I were walking some old logging trails into the wind and the wind switched and 33 yds in front of us a 4X3 popped up from behind a dead fall with a log right in his vitals only to bound off.
Here's a pic from where we were hunting last year and we wanted to go farther to the right but there was a big ravine we couldn't get across, we found a road that snaked around and actually ended up being on top of the ridge but a couple miles down.
Just off the ridge to the right.
Same spot looking left.
I rained everyday we wee up there except the last, roads are red clay and greasy.
Luckily we found some old logging roads and it made walking a lot easier. Once we got up to the top there were some good meadows up there that you couldn't see from down below.
Spent some time where the aspens and dark timber met.
Pic of camp.
Pic of one of the logging roads, lots of dead falls across them.
Here's where the 4X3 was, laying down behind the 3rd log, 2 bounds and he was down in the dark timber.
Sunrise on the last morning, hike out in the dark, sweat and get cold and wait for the sun to come up and warm you up. Typical day was mid 30's when we woke up then it warmed up to 70-80.
