Joe, Congrats!!! Just a great buck. Love the story and the pics are indeed worth a 1000 words to a East Coast dweller. Beautiful scenery. Can't thank you enough for sharing.

Smiley had to return home on the 7th, and I was due in New Mexico for an elk hunt later in the month.  With only time to kill in between hunts I headed south toward Durango.  I had never been on the road through Ouray  and Silverton before, but had heard it was quite a drive.  That is an understatment!!

I call it buttpucker pass.  The white line outlining the shoulder of the road was literally inches away from the edge of the drop off to oblivion. Cross that line and you won't have to wonder where you will stop.  I have always enjoyed mountain roads, but this one tested even me....  :scared:    :scared:  
You can see the road winding across the side of the mountain on the right.

Joe, is that a road or a "goat path???"

You're taking to this trad stuff pretty good, Joe.  Well done, again.  Very nice muley  :thumbsup:

I've been on that "road" from Ouray to Silverton.  Definitely white knuckle time.  Don't think I'll do that one again.

oneshot-onekill, That's an RER LX bow, 57# @ 30".  Gold Tip 55/75 arrows with Wensel Woodsman heads weighted up to 270 grains up front.

The RER has finally been "The Bow" for me.  I've had it for a little over a year now and it is running up quite a record.  I have actually kicked my bow buying and selling addiction   ;)
