Dad and I are driving to unit 73 in Colorado for 35 days... That should take in most of the elk archery season  :)  I didn't draw a mule deer tag but did get a bear, elk, and marmot permit! I'm excited just to get out there but to see dad all worked up is really special.

I took a friend on a scouting hike into the area i was planning on hunting.  There are just miles of serious Blow Down and probably a Bull Elk pinned somewhere in there too.

There has been quite a bit of deadfall over the years but there were some exponential forces at work in the last year. There were a few elk tracks on the trail in.  I imagine the elk were trying to figure out how to navigate the mess too.
I might have to try something new.
