Early Season Luck

[Rucker61]

My hunting buddy scored early and well this year, in a Ranching for Wildlife hunt in Colorado. We don't think that grin is going away any time soon. 7mm Mag, 140gr Berger VLD, 225 yards.

Unfortunately, the shooter was my buddy, not me. I'm not sure what ranch he was at, and I probably want to keep that secret, anyway ;)

Its an outfitter, you want to keep it a secret?? Really, what a class act you are.

It's not my secret to reveal. If my buddy has no problem with it, then I don't mind posting.

Ranching for Wildlife is run by the state and generally requires preference point to obtain a Bull tag in a decent area. Outfitters hunt these same lands with clients but generally not during these special hunts.

This gives the average "Joe" a chance to hunt private lands without paying a outfitter thousands of dollars for a hunt. Nice setup but it can take years to draw a real good area. I have 14 points and my daughter has 15 points. Maybe next year :D.
