silvertip_co Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I dont know what to do this fall. 10yrs of doing the same thing aint working. and last 3 yrs of doing diff thing didnt exactly thrill me. I tired to plan a family hunt for fall but family not interested so I guess maybe wife and I will just do the lone ranger thing again. I cnat get my vacation til October and cant get it at Christmas time( last guy hired) so maybe just take the whole two weeks in OctNov and hunt deerelk. Wife wanted to bowhunt cuz its warmer and 5 week season and Im older, but my interest level in re-beginning that for the third time is ZERO. So I just dont know...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Silver:You can "adopt" me into your family and I'll go hunting with you.I'm just getting into the western hunts (only 8 years of western hunts). Building points and finding over-the-counter tags. The best thing that works for me is hunting new places. If I find a good place I often go back for a few years. I'm always looking for new places and species. I'm the kind that just loves the outdoors and I really appreciate the beauty of someplace I haven't been before. So much different variety in all those states. One last thing.... I have also met some of the nicest people on these hunts and made some life-long friends.good luck to allthe dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The way Colo muley tags are ya never hunt the same place twice now. When I first came here was no prob drawin u86 tags when I put in for them. After a few yrs all my tags are 400 miles from home while the non residents hunt in unit 86. So new places is every year whether I want them or not. Adoption is hard with an incomplete profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvertip_co Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking this new early rifle buck in u48 might be my first choice. Mid Sept would be a great time to be rifle hunting above treeline I think and the tag is good from Salida to Leadville west of the hwy and east of the Divide. My other three buck choices are 3 of 5 units Ive picked, most of which we've hunted before. Elk we'll prob just do OTC bull in 81( thank you again and again Jeff). I better think it all over a few days before I burn my points. Edited February 12, 2012 by silvertip_co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Obviously haven't got any draw results back this year, but with most of the tags I am applying for, I really imagine I will come up empty handed. One of my options that I haven't completely figured out is I have 6 points for deer in Co. Thinking I am getting close to a place where I might as well use them, just don't know for sure where or when. If I do miss out on all my draws, Colorado OTC elk will probably be looking pretty good by October. We might just have to work out a plan Charlie.

stevebeilgard Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Kind of see the makings here of a Colorado RT elk or deer hunt. hey, i'm ready. let's do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Let's do OTC bulls in 81/80 for a Realtree hunt. Thats easy to set up, we have a good bull place, campin is free(tho we have no camper to stay in) and good water is nearby. Mule deer is draw and we are gonna prob try to get 35(36) or 44 as those are two great buck units. We both have points but I forget how many. Im gonna figger out deer this weekend when Im doin my taxes. Edited February 23, 2012 by silvertip_co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Maybe we all could rent a huge cabin this yr. Throw in together for it. I heard from Kathleen today, finally after 18 months. Maybe she and Terry could come too. Who knows. I still have some of the leftover signage from our first GREAT REALTREE COLORADO ELK CAMP. Who could forget the broken trailer on that one and the 'new style' elk call and the nice bull them boys from PA got with Steve's encouragement(climb up there and shoot that bull or I'll drag you up there).
