Thanks guys!  Hopefully now that I got the monkey off my back I will start laying some critters down.  I'm super pumped for Colorado!  I've got a great tag in my pocket and the unit hasn't had a bad winter in years so the amount of mature age class bucks is high. :IBCOOL:

  that's next level ninja stuff right there :chuckle:  seriously though, that packout back to camp was something else!  I've always prided myself on my ability to handle heavy for my size loads  and my ability to just switch off and grind my way through but dang!  It was a come to Jesus climb out of that hole!  I had to swallow an awful lot of pride when I left my gun and spotter on the side of the mountain  :'(

Love the write-ups, and you sir are a machine.  No lack of heart in the Blanchards, I'm sure your brother is proud. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Ok, sorry for not updating.  So first pic is Jeremie ' buck he killed the same day I killed mine.  After I left, both Jeremie and Keegan filled their second tags.
