    Lots of them there for sure. Saw some almost every day. Camp was surrounded by an electric fence and they had several dogs who really fussed a lot at night when a bear came around.

    Nope. No elk for 8 hunters. The elk population had really taken a hit from the wolves. But that's another story.............

    What is your go to elk rifle / ammunition combo?

    I shoot the old school Nosler Partition. Tried some Ballistic Tips in my .257 Wby on antelope and didn't like the results. The bullet exploded when it hit the front shoulder bone.

    Things are definitely looking up here in Colorado!

    I just got a call from my barber and she is opening up this Friday as the gradual reopening of Colorado is beginning. I usually get a haircut once a month and it's been over 2 months and I am looking pretty scruffy! "One small step for mankind"

    Piebald Fawn

    A buck or a doe can carry the gene, but to be passed on or have a piebald fawn, the only way is for both carriers (buck & doe) have to breed. If either one breed with one that does not carry the gene, it is not passed to the fawn. That's what the article I read said. The amount of varied...

    "Stupid is as stupid does"! Hopefully one of their offspring can carry the gene and carry on.

    Piebald Fawn

    I did a little research on this color phase and the info said that both parents have to carry the recessive gene for it to be passed on. So there must be a buck around someplace. We do have a doe that shows this coloration, but it is not very distinct. She has been around a long time.

    Piebald Fawn

    There are about 75 to 100 mule deer that live around my place. Mostly hay fields and apple orchards. There is a gene pool of piebald color phase in the deer. Every few years one or 2 show up. Yesterday I saw a yearling that was a piebald. 3 years ago there was a beautiful fawn that was piebald...
