Lookin around 2016

[Coloradov]

Well I have been out a few times looking around seeing some big groups of elk (300+), small groups of elk, sheep, goats, and deer. Found a few bulls a couple that will grow out well. Good luck to all who can get out before the season.

I fell in love with that area the 1st time I saw it... :upthumb: :upthumb:

Hunted it one year and then move south so it would be closer for us to travel... That may have been a bad decision but hind sight is always 20/20 they always say... :downthumb: :downthumb:

Interesting that you found goats in Unit 16 (assuming CO 16?) You should let Pepper know at the CPW office because I don\'t think they\'re aware of them. Did you get any photos? That\'s pretty cool.

Nice summer bulls! I know where there is a herd of 400 in 16 now on public land, but they\'ll be on a couple big ranches after the first couple days of the season, if not before.

Great stuff man, very good looking bulls! Those wildflowers are awesome!

Thanks and kinda funny or I changed the title as I was not in unit 16. I will add a few pics here and there to this thread and the 16 is in reference to the year not the unit as I dont even know that much about 16. Added a pic of the goats but they were a long way off as well.

Ran into a few more elk one bull that looked like a giant real wide but I could not get a pic before they moved into the trees and he was a long way off. Also moose, and a hawk. The very young moose was at about 12 yds and wandered off quickly after we ran into each other in some thick stuff! I am looking for deer that I saw a total of 0 bucks in the couple of days I was able to get out. Good country that should hold deer but just did not see that many.

Found a good moose that has a camp chair stuck in his antlers. Someone out there has a story!

Wow.... What an amazing picture!



Great bull too.

 

[bowhunter]

:lol: :lol: that\'s a great pic. I wonder if he will still have it in his antlers this fall and if he gets harvested will the hunter do the mount with the chair in it. :lol:

 

[bowhunter]

Or will someone find a shed next spring with a chair stuck to it. :lol:

 

[Ol' Arky]

I wonder if someone was setting in the chair at the time it got tangled in his antlers????? :lol: :lol:

And yep he is a great bull... :upthumb: :upthumb:

 

[Deertick]

Great bull ... as they say: \"There must be a story ...\"

Well off work for 3 days and I am stuck inside due to total cloud/rain coverage today.. So I thought I would post a few pics from the past bit in here. Focusing more on deer than elk these days as archery opener is 3 weeks away.
