Hunted the third season on private land near Cortez, southwest corner of the state, with 3 other hunters. We had a great trip and 3 of us got deer. The 4th hunter saw a giant buck and hunted him until the end but came up empty. I watched this buck come into a grain field late Tuesday evening and sat up an ambush for him Wednesday morning. I sat on a almost bare hill for an hour and a half waiting on him. I expected him to come within 200 yards on his way back to a canyon but that didn't work out, but with a solid rest and lots of help from a Leupold CDS scope I was able to kill him.

Beautiful buck! I have spent some time in the Cortez area, usually the shots in SW Colorado are quite long. What were you shooting?

Love that part of the state. Doesn’t look like you had much to hide behind. Nice one. Congratulations. I sat behind a knee high sage bush that morning for about an hour and a half. Could not stand for about 3 minutes when I tried to get up . Old man syndrome.

Beautiful buck! I have spent some time in the Cortez area, usually the shots in SW Colorado are quite long. What were you shooting? Tika T3 in 300 Win Mag, 180 grain Hornady SST Leupold VX-3i CDS scope. I had a solid rest and plenty of time. Shot was 500 yards. Deer fell 10 yards from where I shot it and never moved. I am not a good shot but I am a believer in the CDS system.
