Friday, August 29th, 2008Tomorrow morning starts one of the Colorado’s big game hunts, archery for elk hunting, and I will be amongst many who participate calling the big bulls. Dalton bought me a ‘Hoochie Momma’, a cow elk caller for those who aren’t familiar with this device.

Back to Flat Tops Wilderness Area
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday evening as we drove throughout Routt County and into Garfield County. It had been some time since we went down Forestry Road 910 off Hwy 131 outside of Toponas, Colorado. When out in this area, we love to stop at the Toponas store [...]

Hunting Season begins August 30
Thursday, August 21st, 2008Colorado’s 2008 Hunting Season opens August 30 for archery. I previously couldn’t wait for hunting season to begin, wanting to bring down a big bull elk even knowing the odds were against me. Now, after a summer of photographing the wildlife of mule deer, elks, moose, I’m apprehensive. I can’t help but think of [...]

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Of all things to happen to me on a Monday morning….my little old computer gave out! I just got it back this evening, and just finished hooking it up.

I See Pink on the Weather Map - North Central Colorado Weather
Friday, August 15th, 2008I guess eventually it would begin, I just didn’t think it would start in the middle of August. Being of southern origin, I think of August as hot, humid and sticky. But today’s color is pink….a mix of rain and freezing rain in the Park Range Mountains around Mt. Zirkel, and Hwy 34 (Trail Ridge [...]
