It has been a very good deer season so far. We have taken some nice animals and seen a lot of country.
Deer Hunting
Turkey Hunting in Colorado
We had another successful turkey hunt yesterday. Our hunter was able to harvest a tom turkey just as the sun was going down.
Fall is a great time to be out hunting turkey. The weather is generally more stable than spring, and animals are moving quite a bit. Yesterday proved that as we saw turkey, deer, antelope, and a bear track.
Deer season is right around the corner, so we’ll be out scouting as much as possible. We are very thankful that hunting has been good this fall, hopefully it will continue!
Pronghorn Antelope Hunting in Colorado
We had another successful antelope hunt on October 2.
We started early on Saturday and saw numerous antelope throughout the morning. We were guiding 2 hunters at the same time and saw 2 nice bucks that we decided to try to harvest. However, the antelope were very skittish and we were unable to get close enough for a good shot.
We decided to leave the area and let the antelope settle a bit, so we had lunch and took a nap! Later in the afternoon, we went back in and began our hunt again. Our first hunter was able to sneak up on a nice buck and take him with a 330 yard shot.
We got the second hunter in position just as 5 bucks came in following a hot doe. The bucks were really rutting and ended up nearly running over our hunter. They came up within 30 yards and had the hunter completely locked down. After an exciting moment, the antelope moved off and our hunter was able to get in position and harvest another nice buck.
All in all, the hunt was a big success. We sent 2 happy hunters back home and saw several mature bucks in the process. We also got a good look at a couple of nice mule deer bucks early in the morning. I am thankful that God granted us a successful day!
Elk Hunting in Southeast Colorado with Canyon Journeys
Canyon Journeys is a nature/heritage/wildlife based business located in southern Baca County, Colorado. We strive to give our customers authentic and memorable experiences.
We had a successful elk hunt on September 17, 2010. The elk were rutting and there was a lot of bugling between bulls. Friday morning we saw several young bulls and one mature bull, but were unable to get close enough for a shot. Canyon Journeys goal is to harvest only mature animals and maintain a strict sense of ethics.
Friday evening we saw a nice, young 5×6 bull, but decided to wait on the older bull. We were fortunate enough that the big bull came in and we were able to harvest him just before dark. The bull is a really nice 6×6, very symmetrical and mature. Our hunter went home happy and we are thrilled about that.
