Re: My 2012 Review..

I was down on myself at this point as I knew I would have to give dropper at least a day to calm down and move to somewhere that it would take him a day or so to get. Then find him again. I only had 7 days total this time and that put me right at the end of the time I had this session. For the rest ...

Re: My 2012 Review..

Thanks for the kind words. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/jahvada/scouting020-2.jpg The way archery season works for me is that I am fortunate enough to have my job slow down due to lack of work in the fall so I can spend quite a bit of time in the hills. I like to dedicate as much time ov...

Re: My 2012 Review..

Another sun rise! http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/jahvada/rifleelk006.jpg Yea that dropper is just what it looks like. Also he has 4 kickers one that splits off the left and 3 off the right.

Re: My 2012 Review..

Well as I did not want to drive the long distance to check out a "rumor" - the next day I checked out a basin that I knew had good bucks in the past. This guy was the biggest in the basin but as you can tell the pics are a loooooong way off. Needless to say his guy got my attention! Say hello to #3!...

Re: My 2012 Review..

Yea the bucks this summer looked very fat on the summer range. With the extremely mild winter we have had so far around SW Colorado I would bet a very mild winter kill. Temps were almost in the 40's yesterday at 10k ft... Once it gets to August it is time to get a bit more serious. I spent over 30 d...

Re: My 2012 Review..

It was not until the last week of July that I found the first "big" buck of the season.. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/jahvada/scouting009-1.jpg If you look closely both of his brow tines split. I knew this guy had a good chance of getting real close to the 30" wide mark by the time the s...

Thanks. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/jahvada/scoutingelk006-1.jpg The first time I was able to go out for a long overnight hike I found a bachelor herd that I knew I would have to come back and look at.. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg153/jahvada/scouting008.jpg http://i247.photobu...

My 2012 Review..

As we all look to next year I thought I would post a report of my 2012 season. I know it has been awhile but I figured better late than never and a good way to introduce my self. The starts early for me and I try to get out and scout as much as I can. The pics will start in Mid july and through my a...
