Blind Squirrel Finds a Nut

Thought you guys might enjoy another post from out West.

 

Mountain hunting is somewhat romantic. And by that, I mean it lures you in with something pretty, then repeatedly beats you down. Yet you keep coming back for more, thinking it will be better next time.

 

But occasionally it works out. Got my first mule deer thanks to a bit of boot leather and a lot of luck. Way up above the truck, with a couple great friends- definitely a group effort hunt. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

Nice Mule deer! Congrats! I'm sure that the snow helped a lot on this hunt.

Nice Mule Deer.

We lived in Salina, CO and I would not go back far happier here in Missouri.

Nice!  The nice bucks always seem to stay high, hunting them ain't for sissies.  Of course, any hint in the mountains is awesome, and it gives me motivation to stay in shape!

The "hunt" consisted of hiking 2 miles and 1500' up, barely making it to the bench to start still hunting out to a glassing point, and running into this guy with his doe.

But the deer aside, the friends I was hunting with made it a trip I won't forget.

I know it's not for everyone, and there's things about Missouri that I miss, but I am enjoying it out here.

I was a Photographer out there. Most part I was sick all the time. Lived right on the Arkansas River could even fish out my back window.

Just got off the Phone with a Guy in Denver. I might have to go out that way for a visit.
