Jim; Good to hear that you are improving. I drove by your house while I was out MZL deer hunting in your area. I wanted to stop, but was with two others who were on a mission. If I was alone I would have called to check in. We went 2 for 3 on deer, nothing special, but the other guys got...

I hunted caribou in Greenland 3 years ago. I found the booking site on BOOK YOUR HUNT.com Click on Caribou, and you will find lots of very expensive hunts in Canada and Alaska, but one pops up in the 5K + range. I could have shot a musk ox also if I wanted to pay for it, and did have a couple...

My uncle drove his car until he was 100, and only quit when he couldn't get in or out by himself. He did self restrict himself though as his eyesight started to fail. The old WWII vet is still going at 101. So, CC you can just "Keep on trucking".

I see that the leftover list is out, and that there are 2 buck tags that must have been turned in (I drew with 5 pts. and that got the last of the NR tags). Two of us have decided to GO, and the 3rd is still on the fence. If I didn't have a tag in hand I would try for a leftover bull tag in...

Thanks ColoradoV. I am in a double conumdrum of a necessary new hip surgery that I would have to defer to make this hunt and a Canadian canoe trip in August. The Canada trip is also affected by fires, and part of the Quetico Park is currently closed as well as the Boundary Waters canoe area...

WOW!! Not many besides you would pass on a buck like that.

Here's my unique mount of the last remaining Moobadeowl in North America. I was hesitant to shoot it, but knew that no one would believe me when I said that I saw one. I would definitely NOT kill a Sasquach except in self defense though.

Many thanks again Jim. Get well. II will check in with you if we end up going.

I did check in with JimP, as he was a great help to me on my previous trip. Unfortunately, Jim has had a recent health issue that he has to deal with. Thank you Winchester for your input...it was just what I was looking for from someone "local".

3 of us drew Colorado area 44 MZL deer tags this year, but I have some concern about the extreme drought over much of central CO, and specifically in Eagle County. There are no fires close, though the Willow Fire by Leadville has some potential to spread. I spent almost two weeks in this unit...

The harvest stats in Colorado have always been of little value. I had looked up the stats for the area that we applied for MZL deer this year, and the "success" rate was based on less than a 1% response. My home state of Minnesota has screwed up a lot of things over the last few decades, but...

Here's the tri-fecta that I have mounted in our home. None are even close to "book", but still are my best. The other photo is the opposite wall. Rooster Cogburn is bracketed by a mt. lion and a black bear. I have one other unique and likely one of a kind critter, but it will take some...

Negative on limited entry cow elk. Not too many years ago, this was an easier draw, and if I could get a tag was one hunt that I would do every year.

I drew the MZL deer tag. Last one for me as I'm exiting the future CO draws.

Jim; I have been spending much of my last year cutting dead trees on my property (after a spruce budworm cycle), and have four different saws that I use. I primarily use the electric saw for limbing the lower branches before felling and bucking with a gas saw. The elec. is lighter and easier...
