Colorado in a couple of weeks and I can't wait. We are staying at Lone Cone but doing the self guided on public land. The guys I am going with have been going for several years and have some great Bulls under there belts. Have my new Bowtech dialed in and thumping and can't wait. Gotta run, headed back to Whitney to do an evening trip. Just wanted to share. VEGETARIAN, an old Indian word for Poor Hunter! www.teamredneck.net www.vaportrailscents.com

Expect any kind of weather - woke up to 5" snow one opening morning. Although we were hunting muleys, we saw lot of good elk north of the Devils Chair area. Hope you are in decent shape. Good luck! �Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much.�

Guiding and throwing a net, working my ranch and cattle and another 1500 acre cattle ranch keeps me in pretty good shape, that and wore smooth out. Work harder now than I did when I had a full time job. I'm sure the altitude and up and down the mountains will wear on me no doubt. I plan on taking my time as much as possible. Thanks again!
