I loved it up there and the boss told me the hardest part about the job was getting to and from work everyday without hitting a deer or elk with your truck. :eek: Dead critters laying every were.

Congrats and good luck!!

Post by: SCATTERSHOT on July 30, 2010, 10:56:00 PM: You'll love it. The area around Rifle used to be called the deer factory years ago. Dunno about now, but hunting and fishing opportunities abound.

Don't be surprised if you find time to hunt, it's just outside your door. Literally.

Welcome to Colorado.

Post by: COLongbow on July 30, 2010, 11:07:00 PM: Scattershot, yep the area rightly called the "deer factory" is the Piceance Basin. A few miles to the west of Rifle. A unique drainage that has undergone some changes in recent years due to resource management, but still has deer thicker than fleas on a hound dog's you-know-what.

That boy is gonna have it good...
