Colorado drought…

[Lil-Rokslider]

So I either chose a good year to burn my CO points, or I didn't. Sweet.

It's definitely one or the other. I can promise you that.

I used my deer points as well- I'm betting on a good year and that a few more mature bucks made it through the mild winter. I'm sure there will be plenty of young bucks as well, and think this may be a banner year in the west compared to the past few.


The only concern I have with drought in CO would be if there is a bad winter. Deer don't die in the summer/fall because of drought in CO- there is water to be found and summer ranges always have feed. (Places like deep desert AZ can run out of water on sheep range or lack of feed. not so in CO) Now if there is a bad winter this year and the winter range is low on feed then yes this drought will be bad....for NEXT year's hunting

Future is never guaranteed… Boys showed up and one sure seems happy about easy living on private irrigated land !

Yea it gets crispy even after a week with out rain. That will all be dependent on what happens in August. There are lots of springs where I usually am so that will not change.

It is real real dry I doubt there is any run off in the rivers this year and the ranchers are sweating if there will be irrigation water.

It will be interesting to see how this all goes this summer into fall = we just got a good rain but not enough to make a dent overall but did green things up a bit. Fires this summer will be crazy the fall might be working between when you can see through the smoke depending on where the fires will be.

Maybe this guy who is 32-33” wide to the matching stickers will get some tine length..
