My CO hunt was a success..... #6855288 09/09/12

I am more than happy to eat tag soup if I can't find what I want so taking my buddy and his 14 year old son in to hunt the buck I found was a no brainer. They snuck in and shot him at 58 yards today and the smile on their faces was priceless. Helping a father and son create a great memory that will last their lifetimes is something that I will cherish forever. I'll get pics up ASAP but the buck is 27" outside and grosses 179" hard horn. I had him at 182" gross in velvet so he is exactly what I though he was. Not bad for a 14 year olds first buck Hopefully I can find a 190"+ buck this week but if I don't my season was already one of the most successful I've ever had

I will get the best pics up when I get to a computer. Posting from the mountain on my iPhone now Needless to say, my buddy and his son can't stop smiling and that makes this week perfect!

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants. If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
