Great photo journal again! Thanks.  Spent a week in the Durango area a couple of Aprils ago.  Nice to see the million dollar highway in green mode. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Although, "getting one" is always a rush, it certainly is not paramount to the making of a great hunt!

Awesome thread, and I hope yuou and Mark both get him next time!

Thanks again guys.....your responses make it worth the time and effort each day to put it together.

I'm back home in PA getting ready for whitetails.  Mark is packing up and moving to Montana!     :notworthy:

We will be back together in mid-November to chase Kansas whitetails with Jon aka Snakebit40.  Hopefully something will come together for us.

Enjoy the season!!!  Tim
