Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Nicely done! I went out Saturday morning and had a buck lined up right at sun up but passed because he was kind of a dink. He was the best I saw all day.
It was a long day of hunting with all of my closest strangers. Didn't need OnX to know public from private land. The public land had pickups parked at every corner.
There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.

This was my 10th or 11th pronghorn.
I once hunted GMU 3 where there are sizeable herds on public land but it takes a lot of points to draw the unit now and I don't have the years left. Maybe it's okay to hunt a small, sparsely populated area. Two years ago I decided to head home when I came up behind a bedded buck at 65 yards. He was a dink too young to hold a harem. I was happy to have the delicious meat.
Next year I might explore hunting Wyoming where one can get two doe tags.
