Put in for my deer license today. Going to hunt them this year with my bow. It's the only hunting I'm going to do this year other than coyotes so I wanted a long season.

Not a bad call on the weapon of choice. Less competition at least. You just going for deer or any of the other many big game here in CO?

Thanks for the reminder!


I've vowed to never again hunt rifle antelope on public land.
Opening day looked like a pumpkin patch with all the orange in the fields.

It is the only species I haven't put in for yet. I need to call a few people 1st and get permission.

Already applied for rifle cow elk and archery deer.

EDIT: 4/7/09 Put in for Rifle Doe Antelope in unit 110... supposed not to need any pref points according to last year stats.

I got myself put in for deer and put in for preference point for elk (always go over-the-counter bull). I've got Second season already reserved at work for the time off (ahead of my hunting co-worker).

I put my son in for his deer and elk preference points too. Next year he'll start hunting with me and should have enough points to draw a deer permit.

I also bought my fishing/small game combo license today (I know, running a little late). I didn't get a chance to use it much last year (just went fishing a few times, no small game).

Like I say every year.... This year will be different!

No, I've never hunted the Wet Mountains from this side.
I have hunted the other side in the valley. The San Luis Valley has tons of deer along the Wet mountains on that side. I hunted that when I was in College. Follow the road from the Sand Dunes into the wilderness area along the creek. Tons of deer.

There is deer everywhere around here and in Teller County.

We have a couple dozen deer walk down the property every afternoon-evening.
I hunt right in the office at my desk. I get up and grab the bow when they are close enough to shoot.

My goal is not to have to drive more than 15 minutes to go hunting for any big game species. No goats, bear, moose or sheep though. Sheep and bear are about 20 minutes away. Goats and moose are a good hour plus.
