Anyone want to hunt in Colorado?

[tadpole]

Doug, sent you a PM

[Doug Treat]

Ok, Ive got the following on the list:

Carcajou
Sunny Hill archer
Tadpole and friend

There's room for one more right now.  You guys on the list, let me know if you can't make it and I'll open it up for others.  Thanks.  Doug

[Doug Treat]

I just thought of something else.  Seems like most who are interested in this hunt want to chase elk.  If you want to apply for elk now, see if you draw, and then add a deer tag later, that should work out OK. The numbers show that there are 400 archery either-sex tags for unit 20 and less than 150 people apply for that tag every year.  There should be plenty of leftover tags available when they start selling them on line Aug. 13.  

Still have room in camp as of now!!!

[Doug Treat]

...or if you don't know if you can do this yet, but want to get on the list and add that deer tag in Aug., PM me and that could work too.

Hunt elk in Colorado? No way! I wouldn't even consider it! (-:

Clearly, you wear the name "Treat" for a good reason. Best luck to your generous camp.

[Doug Treat]

Plenty of room if you're just now finding this. One of the guys on the list just let me know he can't make it.  Doug

ttt last day to apply for tags

One more picture to whet your appetite for the Colorado high country.  This is what it looks like here today.  Will be a bit warmer in Sept. for the archery season.  Doug

[ishiwannabe]

You going to do this every year? Your killing me...lol.

[Doug Treat]

ishi,  I don't know, but if things go well this year, it would be fun to make it an annual event.  I think I'll call it CTC1 (Colorado Tradgang Camp #1).  We'll see how it goes and I'll let you know if there will be a CTC2.  I do plan to start a thread here so you guys who can't make it can follow along on our adventure

So far we have:
Tadpole, Covey, and sunny hill archer.  If anyone else has been dragging their feet, now's the time to act.  2 more spots in camp!  You can apply online today (I believe until midnight...at least a mail-in application can be postmarked until midnight), but that's it.  Today's the deadline.

[Doug Treat]

OK, we have our group:
Me
Tadpole
Covey
Sunny Hill archer
possibly some local trad. bowhunters

I'll keep you Tradgangers up to date on our misadventures chasing elk and deer in Sept.  Thanks for all the replies even from those who can't make it this year.  Doug
