Cam and I are headed up to 10,000 feet--this time by truck, not airplane. A couple of friends from the church are already up by Steamboat Springs and we will join the crew late tomorrow afternoon and hunt all day Saturday and Sunday. Cam will be the hunter, I will be the packer, guide, tracker (hopefully) and will let him take any shot. He has both a bull elk license and a mule deer doe one. No sense me spending money on license as we have no desire nor room to bring back 2 animals. Foreceast looks decent--there has been a ton of snow, but we are in a drying/warming period right now with temps easily remaining above zero at day break.
We had an opportunity to harvest our first wildlife last nite at 9pm as a trophy raccoon decided to walk up on our deck and stick her nose against our sliding door. Our 10 yr old hound dog was headed toward cardiac arrest when she was told to go look ou the door as she was not anticipating a trespasser with a mask on.
Tally Ho!
