Colorado 4th Rifle Thread

Congrats to those that have tagged out. Sounds like the 4th season is going tougher than the 3rd season did.

Well, that was an interesting 4th season!
Weather was HOT where I was at and I heard almost no shots even though I saw other hunters in the area.
Everyone I talked too was only seeing smaller bucks and holding out.
Passed on a solid(ish) 3x3 on day 1 which is my biggest regret in hindsight!
After a few days I said **** it and decided to fill the tag with a chip shot on a forky that was super close to the road (easy pack out).
Glad I filled the tag but still kicking myself for not shooting the bigger one.
I'm ready for next September!

Wife had a 4th season doe tag. Took our 5 and 3 year old boys out 3 days in a row but they aren't great at maintaining quiet so we didn't tag out. Had fun anyhow and the boys got to play in the snow a bit and hike through some good mud.

Got a buck down straight away Wednesday around 9 am. Shot him at 364 yards across a canyon. This buck was chasing around his group of 7 does. Decided to pass up two other 4x4s at first light right before I saw him that were doing the same with another group of does.

Nice buck!

Yesterday I left the house at 1330, put my doe down at 1430, was back at home by 1600.

On another note, the rain/snow earlier in the week made some of the roads the slickest crap I’ve ever seen. We had to leave a truck in the field over night and my dad and brother hiked out 4 miles for fear they’d run off a cliff. Be safe out there!

Get and fit a set of 4 tire chains for your rig.
