Thanks for the pics. Beautiful country. Glad you got back safe. Hadnt noticed you were gone but it did seem a little quieter around here. 
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Based on the terrain you must have not spent enough time glassing to not find a decent buck in that country...  Nice pics and beautiful country.

Any trip to Colorado is a good trim as far as I am concerned. Too bad about the breakdown but your back now and ushered some cold weather back with you.
A clear conscience is often the sign of a fuzzy memory.

Can’t believe you got to see and photograph the moose up there. What a trip.

This is my 5,000 post and I can think of nothing better than commenting on a hunter in Colorado. It is truly God's country. Thank you for sharing the photos and information about your trip. I spend a lot of time in Colorado around Pagosa Springs. I've seen one Moose, several dozen Big Horn Sheep, many bears, hundreds of deer and elk. If you are a hunter, you owe it to yourself to make at least one trip to Colorado. Even if you don't come back with an animal, you will come back with a smile.
Cabin rental in Pagosa Springs, Co. Sleeps 10, If interested please PM me.

I believe we saw him he was below the moose a few hundred yards ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/09/full-1562-251006-99f9d5b4_f737_41d5_81be_41c7e678f791.jpeg)

Thanks for sharing but why would take a shot an animal that you did not want to kill? This type comment just hurts us all as hunters.
"No deer this time ( shot at a small 3x3 I really didn’t want to kill, arrow hit a limb and deflected and I’m ok with that) but did see my first two moose, a big bear and some beautiful country."

Looks like the leaves haven't turned yet. I'm going up the end of next week. I bet the cold weather will get the colors started. Nice pics.
