texastrophies Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread I am setting at a roadside park out of Amarillo right now. All I will say is there was a kill made Monday evening. Pics and stories will be posted later. Glad to hear you are OK Tony. Big THANKS to Steve B. He went above and beyond the call of duty to make this hunt a success. Thanks. It was great to meet the members I hadn't met before, and to see the old faces again, also. More will come later. I have close to 300 pics, but they probably won't be up until Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread OK !! Luke is now home..... I was suppose to be home last night but this kept me overnight in Ohio.. .... This is what Steve B. and I woke up to in Denver... and pushed all of the flights back bigtime causing me to miss my connection in Ohio... Which wasn't cool at all considering my wife (Tammy) went into surgery early this morning and I didn't arrive home until 2:00 PM this afternoon... Anyhow, man what a trip this was,,, those of you that missed it,,, man you missed out bigtime. I'm definately glad to be home tho.... I would like to THANK Steve B. especially for all of his hospitality and effort that went into this trip.... THANKS BUDDY !! and of course I can't forget Scott our BOSS MAN.... It was great to finally get to meet some people and put some faces with the names.... Meeting Steve (buckee) was really a treat, what a great guy... Meeting Scott H. was definately my pleasure as well you couldn't ask for a better guy... Also in the group was, texastrophies, snapper, pudd, Silvertip Co. and his daughter, these folks are definately TOP quality people and it was a pleasure to meet and visit with them. OH BY THE WAY !! I was there when snapper brought in his Elk,, and I have some great pictures but you all will just have to wait on him to tell his story... all I'll say is WOW !! and CONGRATS !! snapper... I have 124 pictures to share with you all but Im not quite sure how Scott would like them posted.... so I'll hold off on them for abit but will share my favorite few.... I want one of these in a bad way.... Man he was a tease.... he posed just like he was in the movies.... Well for now thats it,,, but stay tuned for alot more photo's.....

VermontHunter Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread OH !! and Steve B. ,,, NO MORE of those darn Mountian Passes .... my knuckles are still white as heck .... Has anyone ever been 14,000 + feet and look out the passenger window to see only a verticle drop ?? It ain't pretty ,,,, Scott and Buckee would have loved that Cumberland Pass..... If they thought Cottonwood was a delight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Happy to hear you guys made it out OK!!!

stevebeilgard Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread why the questions about my call, steve? lots and lots of people have blown the call.. not just you. nope, i never wash it. but, if you do get a certain lip fungus, just remember that miracles do happen, and they may indeed find a cure for it... some day.

Team Realtree Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Glad to see you guys back. I saw the weather reports and knew some more bad stuff had come in. Thanks Steve for everything you and Luke did to set up camp. Without you guys, we might still be up there trying to survive. It was nice to have you two and Charlie up there (folks who knew what they were doing and making sure all of us green horns were taken care of). You can have those passes (Cottonwood, Cumberland, etc.). Great views, but not fun to drive over in those conditions. So Steve B., I guess you got a trailer rented? Did everyone get out with all their equipment in one piece? I was very excited to hear about Snapper and his elk. Can't wait to read and see what it was. Luke. Thanks man. You really worked your tail off and I appreciate it. And yes you do snore. Not as loud as Buckee, but you do. As far as your pics go, start posting them here. I'm going to keep this thread sticky for a while and it will be read and followed for quite some time. This trip was a memory I will have forever. One day last week, both Steves, Luke and I were hanging out in camp and I mentioned to them how the internet has changed our lives and made the world smaller. It's true. Without it (the internet) none of us would know each other. I would have probably never had the chance to spend 4-5 days in the Rocky Mountains. I would have never met Steve Beilgard or hunted with him in Wyoming for antelope. Think about it. No TN, OK, NY, CO, get togethers. We have a good thing going here in these forums. Let's continue to build it and get together when we can. I look forward to the next one. S PS. Luke, prayers go out to your wife for a safe and strong recovery.

buckee Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Sorry guys, I had to pop back out to work after supper tonight, and didn't get a chance to properly welcome you home. That was some snow you had in Denver. It was great being able to meet new friends and see some old ones as well. My thanks to Luke and Steve B also for the wonderful time, and thanks for letting me hold your fish Luke I've got this growth on my lip Steve...what do I do? Put flour on it? It's awesome that snapper connected. I thought maybe it was Pudd, because I thought he had next crack. I guess snapper must have won the arm-wrestle. I can't wait for the story and pics. I'll be praying for your sweetie also Luke. Welcome home guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread THANKS,, guys..
