Lucked up and drew an archery tag for CO Rocky Mountain Bighorn, Aug 1-31.
Figured I'd post a non-unit-specific thread for the hunt(IYKYK) and give some details as requested in the other thread.
I had no thoughts of ever drawing this tag anytime soon, and I even put us in for harder to draw hunts in other states to keep our hunts to a minimum this year. We'll be starting to build a new house this year and wrapping up 3.5+ years of full-time RV travel, dialing back on the road work, and ramping up my local construction business. So it's going to get interesting and be busy. My daughter also drew an AZ late rifle elk and NM off-range Oryx tag(Nov). She'll also draw a CO muzzy elk tag, that I mentioned I would return, but the wife said she wants elk, so we'll see.
I drew, non-resident with 3+0. goes to show you just have to get your name in enough hats.
I'm going to plan at least one scouting trip, and probably try and tie it in with the RMBS sheep & goat meet and greet.
I plan to arrive at least a week before the hunt and hunt the entire month if needed. I might have a buddy along, and maybe my wife, daughter and possibly even my boys, but nothing is certain yet in that regard.
Fitness is decent. I'd like to lose 15- 20 lbs before the hunt, but I did do a 10 mile run yesterday(10:20/mile) and plan do a 20-mile trail race in a few weeks if I can get off work(my first race of any kind). Plan to ramp up trucking with weight in the coming weeks.
Bow is pretty dialed even after having shot very little the last several months. I plan on doing the Cold bow challenge at 70yds and entering my first ever 3D shoot in june.
We've hunted out west every year since 2019, including Elk, muley, bear, oryx, & barbary. We were able to spend a lot of days in the field the past 4 seasons since we could pull the camper to wherever our hunts were.
Hopefully, my recent fortune cookie holds true(attached pic).
Good luck to the other hunters in the unit and if you want to swap contact info, feel free to reach out.
