In Colorado you only get to kill one moose in your lifetime. I believe that's one bull moose in your lifetime. Yes, you're right, but I figured anybody waiting that long would want a bull. Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

I gotta agree with you on that one, I know a couple of people up here that started getting way too lucky year after year after starting work at ADF&G.

These were right on the mountain above my house. First time I have ever seen them there. It is a steep and rugged mountain. They aren't huge, but still very pretty. The sheep are less than 10 yards away. I have some pics of these sheep with my 7 year old son between me and the sheep. They didn't seem to care at all. I took my brother-in-law up there a couple of days later to get better pics. It was snowing lightly and the lighting was weird, but WOW, he pulled off some dandy pics. He is a professional photographer/videographer and it shows. The difference in quality of the pictures is amazing. They don't even look like the same sheep at all.

They were on a bluff where someone built a cabin. They were mowing the owners lawn. You can see the birdhouse on the tree next to them. It is pretty unusual to see them all in a line mowing the grass. Flinch Flinch Outdoor Gear broadhead extractor. The best device for pulling your head out.
