I drew a Colorado Ranching for Wildlife Blue Sage Cow tag and an area 3 Pronghorn Buck tag. I will use the 257 Wby for the Pronghorn and a 264 Win. Mag for the Cow. Happy Days are here again.

Point for Elk/Deer.

Drew 4th season bull tag which enables me to still get an OTC antlerless archery tag!

Only 1 of our group of 4 drew for deer in area 301. Pretty disappointed.

Rebelman, Area 3 is where all the big bucks hang out. If that would have been your area of choice, I would have directed you to them. That is where my wife and I always apply for as first choice.

Not first rifle, the schedule only allowed for 3rd rifle. Last year it would have been a slam dunk with 17 points. This year, I barely got in with 19 points. I had considered archery and muzzy, but I would have been one and two points short this year, so maybe it is good that other states have me occupied during September/October.

Our Raghorn Express will be headed to the Uncompahgre, come November.

Looks like I'll be hunting with a OTC bull tag and a second choice Unit 12/23/24 cow tag this year. Got a pref point first choice so now have 2 for elk.

Got a pref point for deer instead of a tag so now 2 for deer as well.

Haven't checked with them but expect the other three hunters in my group this year (Daughter #1 and two sons-in-law) also got their first choice pref point for elk and second choice cow tag for Unit 12/23/24.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

You will enjoy Third season. I hunted second season two years ago and shot a nice bull. It's not too far from where I live.

Yep, nice photo, I saw a couple bruisers up there when I hunted it a few years ago.

Any and all tips are welcomed. What elevation were you seeing them at in October?

First rifle hunt in 23--either sex. Good time to be in the mountains of Colorado!

Congrats to those who drew.
