Crazy great buck Justin! Where's the cape lol. I'm sitting at 7000' shot my buck this morning. I caped him. Hard to find summer capes.
Happiness is being in the woods!!!

Appreciate all the kind words.  I have a lot of respect for the guys who hunt the high country in Colorado.  I've hunted high here in WA and Western Wyoming, but that CO high country is a different animal!

Living the dream!  Beautiful buck.

Great buck and congratulations!

People who haven't experienced trying to climb a mountain out here probably have a hard time imagining what you went through.  It's no joke...

Another thing is  the afternoon storms... I've lived in many places and have never seen anything like these rain/lightning storms that move in very quickly.  Lightning never really bothered me until this place.  It's definitely something to watch for and plan around.


Good work!
