Hey folks,
My two hunt buddies both moved this past year, so I'm looking for a new partner. I focus on Colorado GMU 12 Rifle 1 elk every year, which is no trophy zone but it's a productive area and I have good data on it. I'm pretty open to any way to work it, as well - full mutual support with a meat share, "call me if you break your ankle", down to "total newbie needs some mentoring to get started", as long as it feels like a good fit.
I work hard on the hunt and take it seriously (40% success rate so far) but I'm also a pretty easy going guy and I'm always good for beer, T-bones, and stories around the camp fire (or propane heater these days, fire restrictions...) I tend to focus on hunting around 4-6 miles in and usually alternate between a nice (truck camper) base camp and overnight spike-outs. I come prepared and I'm a provider, not a taker - I'm usually the guy with the "extra stuff others forgot" (bag liners, paracord, batteries, etc.), not the other way around.
I'm not a fitness freak and will never beat you to the top of the mountain, but I do work out enough to get the job done, and if a partner has an elk down 10 miles back, I'm definitely the "pound some aspirin and caffeine and get hiking" kind of guy.
I haven't posted much on Rokslide (I was on "the other forums") so I'm still figuring out the etiquette here. I think if somebody was interested it's probably best to PM me and maybe we'll meet for a beer (I'm between Boulder and Denver) to see if there's a fit?
