I was there in 74, Eagle in 75. Part of our itinerary, like all other hikers, was to hike Baldy, as well as Tooth of Time. When we got to Baldy’s peak, I looked around and thought what a cool experience….wish I could kill an elk one day in a spot like this…I had no idea…
Fast forward to 1998, I was hunting the west slope of Baldy and killed my first elk. A nice 6x6. The East Moreno Ranch, as it was known back then, owned the west slope up to the peak. BSA owning basically the east slope, sharing the peak. I was back in 2003 and shot another 6x6 right at the treeline under the peak. In 2005 I repeated the feat with another big 6x6 on the north side of the peak, calling it in with my mouth. The ranch was sold the next year to the Pueblo tribe and I elected to hunt down the road after that…
God’s front porch for sure…
