Aron Snyder and Marc Gutman's Colorado Live Hunt

[Aron Snyder]

Yep, all of the hunts will be "Live Hunts" or hunting stories at the least.

We don't have cell coverage in all areas, but I can text Ryan with updates through my Sat phone.

Have you or Aron looked at the alpine bivy from ID? It looks like its lighter and has 3D cut to it? I am torn between the two.

I just looked at on this site. Again, one of those compromise situations. It looks like it has less volume than the bugaboo and no bug netting. If it's just going to be an emergency shelter or a ground cloth replacement, looks good. If zipping that thing up all the way, it looks like a coffin! Again, I just looked at it on their website so I don't have any real experience with it. I don't think Aron does either.

Awesome, awesome, pic's. Nice buck Aron.
I heard a couple (6) short bugles at 9500' this weekend about 1.5 miles from the road at 2 a.m. .....the time is nearing

Congrats Aaron. No one more deserving given the information/help you provide to all that need it. great accomplishment.

 

[Aron Snyder]

Congrats Aron! That's a great looking buck. When did you start wearing Kryptek?

I started testing it a while ago.... I'm impressed with the 2012 line and it looks like the 2013 line will be even better!

On the way up on Thursday afternoon

Camp at 12,500 on Thursday night....raining like hell!

Drying things out on Friday morning

This is the second camp....where I met Marc on Friday afternoon

 

[Aron Snyder]

Marc and I used Kifaru Paratarps and Integral Design bivy sacks for the hunt.

Taking a needed break and getting some needed grub before the climb to the summit

1,500 vertical feet of this will build character for sure!

The first buck I spotted in the basin! He ran into the treeline after we first glassed him up and bedded down for a couple hours.

 

[Aron Snyder]

One of these two is the buck I ended up shooting

Loaded down heavy!

 

[Aron Snyder]

Meat hung and ready for bed!

sweet pics, Aron, when did you start shooting Hoyt?

 

[Aron Snyder]

Calling Jody to let her know I got one and I was still alive

 

[Aron Snyder]

Heading back up to the summit the next day

 

[Aron Snyder]

5 miles out and 4,000 feet down, but we made it back to the truck!

 

[Aron Snyder]

It was great hunting with Marc and I can't thank him enough for all the help! Looking forward to the next trip with him into the high country....

sweet pics, Aron, when did you start shooting Hoyt?

I shot Hoyt for several years before, but I just got this one about 2 weeks ago.

Excellent hunt and photos once again! What does your entire tarp tent setup weigh in at? And how much space in the pack does it take up? After getting lucky with (comfort wise, not hunting wise) with no weather in NV last year, I can't imagine it being the same way for a 2nd year in a row. I hate packing in a tent. Thinking about a setup like you guys use.
