VermontHunter Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Scott, I'm not sure what happened to Steve that morning, but he left with such a hast with the guy's he forgot his boots and everything else.... I'm not positive but I think Steve and the guy's spotted fresh tracks through the spotting scope and decided it was a great location to setup on.....and I'm sure there were enough tracks to show a small herd. You know Steve he can smell them out... I haven't heard a thing from Charlie and his daughter, they packed up the same morning we did and moved closer to the Elk... Hope to hear from Charlie soon....

rifleman25 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread I wonder who the nice guy was that drove out and helped steve and Luke set up and Loan y'all "The Warm Tent" LOL. Sorry I couldn't stay down there guys but I had to hunt up north on my dads lease. Instead of reading through a million posts I'll just ask my question here. I called steve when he went to town for a new trailor. He said only 5 showed up and we were planning on over 20. Whats up with that? Why did everyone bail at the last minuite? Were y'all affraid of the snow or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifleman25 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Sure wish I could me the guy Steve B told to set out those classy R.T Camp signs on his way back to town. I bet it's the same guy that took the last load from Steve's Broken axel trailor to camp all by his self. Steve what did you do with all the left over chow? There had to be a buch since 20-25 of your members didn't show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread Great fotos all, much nicer than my own which I will post on Fri when I get back home. The nite foots of Greg's bull being unloaded and tagged and hung vcame out great. Tho we didnt score any venison we did see some awesome sights and meet some great new friends. And Luke the VT Maple Syrup is great, thanks ever so much. Thanks also to RT and Scott Hughes for the box of perks he allowed us all to share. Gotta luv them Marketing guys. And thanks again to Buckee for the fish supper at the Islamorada Restaurant in Denver. Wife and I took Erica there last eve for an elk steak supper, cheap it wasnt but yum it sho was gooood. And wow them PA boys is something else. Drive 30 hours, come down Cottonwood Pass in a snowstorm at night dragging a trailer, and then get up the next evening and kill a great big bull elk. Makes me wish I was 25 again. Greg and Puddn are the best. We moved camp to a now top secret area elk/deer area near Gunnison suggested by Houston Jeff ( the "nose-bowl" we call the place). We didnt see but 24 elk on Fri morn ( and nooo whiteman feetsprints inthe snow) and couldnt sneak up on a bull in the bowl, BUUUUT we did see well over 200 mule deer in two days and some good bucks, a great buck, an awesome buck, and one total Realtree Monster Buck. My dau is already planning to put in for draw mulie tags for 55 next year. The huge buck is hers as she saw it first, wife saw the next larger one so that will be hers, and I'll have to settle for a 170 class buck that has his home just over the hill from the nose-bowl. Them deer will all be there for us next fall as the hunters in the area dont get off their ATV's to look for game. We hiked one eve up to 10200 at the top of the nose-bowl and enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Its too bad my Handycam we deemd too heavy for my backpack or I could show some awesome mulie fotos and sunset fotos. What a trip... and what a nice bunch of new friends.

silvertip_co Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Re: \"Official\" Post Colorado Trip Thread I didnt mention a special thanks to Steve Beilgaard for his knowledege, expertise, and wisdom as to where and how to hunt, and where to hunt next. I hear hes a greeat cook too. I ended up with the RT CAMP signs so I'll try to use them to honor the memory of a great hunt. WHen we moved camp to the nose-bowl are we used the signs to block the hich winds and keep the ol camp warmer. Good gosh we overcame a stuck boulder, altitude, deep snow, rough roads, a broken furnace, a frozen terlet, knee deep mud, my wifes rifle scope broke on at a critical time, and her radio batteries went dead just when we needed to talk to her. But WOW what a hunt!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
