You might consider looking into the municipal water and wastewater field. That sector is having a huge amount of baby boomers leave the workforce and vacate good jobs. A lot of opportunities in plant operations, asset management, utility management, supervisor, and maintenance career paths...

In Colorado, I would expect there to be several 150-160 bucks in a huntable area. If you aren't finding them they either aren't there or you aren't seeing them. 150-160 4x4 bucks are pretty standard in most areas.
We make fish curry that is bomber. It has cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and boneless trout fillets in a jalfrezi curry. Pair it with naan bread and basmati rice.
October is a somewhat tough hunt for bucks. They have moved from their summer haunts and they're not rutting yet. In Colorado, where I'm from and hunt, the muleys are usually bonus encounters while hunting elk in October. I've seen them in the aspen and sage interface most often.
A lot more pressure during September from both hunters and non hunters. Plus with a rifle you can kill them 200-400+ yards out. Way higher chance to fill a tag first season. Plus a lot of first season tags are either sex.
