    Mt Holly Cross Pics

    Big boy country in here. Sheep shape is required for all hunting. Even the horses in my opinion wont get you to the animals. Still gonna have to hike up high out of the bottoms.

    Grand Mesa Elk Herd Scouting Report

    Forage production - normal Berry blossoms - below average Calf survival - normal Lots of water down that way has actually torn off from hail or rotted some blossom production due to a lack of sun to dry them out. Expect another normal hunting year in there.
