I missed on moose, deer and pronghorn but drew a cow elk license. Yesterday, I picked up bull elk and bear tags which should give me a good chance of filling the freezer. I always hunt 2nd rifle season which can be a tougher hunt.

The old outfitter I worked for was fond of describing 1st season as the shooting season ("those Denver fuckers!"), the 2nd season as the hunting season, and the 3rd season as the killing season.
