| Well down to business I suppose. We left at bout 8 Wed. evenin Aug. 27th and drove straight through to Colorado Springs got there Thurs. evening. It's pretty simple to get there really, take 64 West to St. Louis catch 70 West and ride that all the way out to Limon, Co. then take 24 South or West whichever it is all the way down to Colorado Springs. Man just east of the Rockies is some pretty country let me tell ya! It's nice and rolling and green like you wouldn't believe! Willis found a place he wanted to buy. I forget how many acres it was but they wanted $245 an acre but it still came to well over a million! We slept there and headed out pretty early Fri. mornin we dropped down 25 till we hit 115 thren caught 50 west out all the way to a little town called Cimmarron. Then it's down Big Cimmarron Rd a few miles to the Uncompaghre National Forrest and that's where we were huntin.
I believe this is called Blue Mesa or somethin like that. I think its along Rt. 50 somewhere.
This was where we set up the first time. Right here it was still 9500ft.
Straight back in there is where Willis, Justin, and Eugene camped for awhile last year. Justin and Eugene hiked back through the pass you can see, there in the middle, one day.
Man I love this bow she shoots darts and is really quiet to boot.
One day we had to go out to Montrose and on the way back here was this guy standin right beside the road there was actually another nice buck with him but I couldn't get a picture of that one.
This is where we set up camp the second time at Rowdy Lake.
This is the little cabin we ended up staying in for the last week or so.
This is the area we were huntin in sure is pretty ain't it.
Don't tell anybody, but this was my first shot at a live animal! :( But I had a good excuse, you see, me and Willis had been sittin down gettin ready to eat lunch an I happened to look down the hill and see an ear flappin. There were 3 or 4 cows layin down bout 80yds below us so we got up and snuck down there got to bout 45yds and I told him to take the shot cause I kinda wanted to hold out for a bull. Well I tried callin to em to get em to stand up but they weren't about to for another old cow so Willis took the shot layin down and just nicked her back. She took off like a scared jack rabbit an the others jumped up and ran a little bit. The one stopped and gave me a perfect broadside shot that I thought was fifty yds. and as I drew Willis was like "high 50" I thought he had ranged her so that's what I shot for lets just say she was like 70 an I nailed this stick! Oh well that's bowhuntin I reckon.
Here he is! His rack might fit inside of Willis's but hey he's gonna be better eatin and for my first bow kill who cares!
That's a 120 qt cooler full of my meat. We made the mistake of takin all that in one load. We prolly each had close to 150lbs on our backs, took us 3 hours to go .8 miles downhill! We left the truck at 5:15 to go pack him out. It took us 45 min to get up to him and till we had everything cut up it was 8:00, we got back to the truck at 11:00 and were eatin backstrap at 12:30 Sun. mornin!
Well I need to go hit the hay so I can get up in the mornin and go ta work so toodleloo.

| Spose it's bout time I could do another update here. Ain't been doin anything real excitin here lately been workin later than usual on some of my stuff an it's been killin my evenins.
Was up in Bellevile Pa this past weekend went up there for a fly-in at Sam Peachy's. Was kind of a bummer though cause it wasn't a very good weekend for flyin. Fri. it was rainy and nasty then Sat. it was nice an smooth in the morning then it got windy up higher late morning and all afternoon with a few sprinkles every now an then. Only went up once in the mornin an got to fly a little bit, basically just brought it in and set up for landing. Was the first time I've flown in a small plane since I was a little feller. I was a little suprised everything felt pretty much natural except that I couldn't feel what I was doin with the rudder it was just so light. But anyway still gonna need a little more time till I'll be ready to take our lil bird up.
Well anyway that's bout it for now. Oh yeah Kendal if you see this I was just talkin to Wayne tonight an you needa pack up your wife an get yer tail up here so we can play some Rook!! Naw just kiddin but we better get some in while yer up here!!
