pointing_dogs_rule Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 OK, I just checked on a "real map" where Platoro is located. How the heck do you get there? What is the easiest travel route? It could take 2 days from Denver alone :cowboy:. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could take 2 days from Denver alone :cowboy:. good luck to all the dog There is two ways you can go I25 to 160 to 285 to 370 to 15 and then the mall roads or you can go down to 17 to 250 which will be the way I go.

cowboy778 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Did a 4 mile ruck march today with a 35lbs pack and did 10 pull ups with pack on in between each mile. I am getting ready. I can not wait to get back to CO and start hitting the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like they have good strong backs too. I better take more of my outside frame backpacks for all the meat. :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy778 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I am not under 30 but strong as a mule I am just a 14yr 1LT. I think room and board sounds good Steve. I will put most youngens to shame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy778 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Here is an idea for wood. FREE Wood. I will do my best. Hope to go shooting with you when I get back. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 any new home construction site will have ample free wood. just be sure to ask first. for 2 stoves we'll need a pretty good pile, about 2 truckloads. i'll have coal for the nights.

silvertip_co Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I picked up the other 6 maps this eve. Maybe if you get to the place a few days early I could haul some wood in there after work. Be a long day for me but what the heck. Its hunting season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's too quiet here and soon will be too hot to think about elk hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy778 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I think I found a way to get more firewood. On Craigslist under free there where a lot of people giving away wood. When I get back to the states over the summer months I will collect some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Deadline for applications is tomorrow 4/3-----better apply online. Good Luck, CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 CB is right. Today is the deadline for you to get your application in for the draw or to gain a preference point. For those that are planning on attending this elk hunt, don't fret, this tag is over the counter and can be purchased up until the day before the hunt at any local retailer or online from the wildlife department. I got my points application in a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy778 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Put mine in about 2 weeks ago. Now to wait and see if I get my archery tag for a Muley... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Cowboy778 when do you return from Afghanistan so I can mail your maps? I got your email with address. No hurry just curious.Maybe we can meet up once you get settled back in to ColoSprings. Thank you for your service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy778 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 You can mail them now my wife is there. I should be back before memorial day. Sounds good to meet up. After I get my new rifle we could go shoot or when we get a chance go check out the hunting spot etc. Hope to get some fishing done this summer and might try and go Coyote hunting a couple times. Take care. Look forward being back in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
