Finally Made it west
Finally Made it west
After three years of excuses and procrastination finally headed west. Flew out of Tampa to Denver. Rented an SUV. Headed north into Wyoming. Spent most of last week chasing the Merriams and sightseeing. As an Eastern and Osceola hunter took a while to comprehend how vast and wide open these areas are. I'll add a picture or two and some more details later but here he is. He came in with two brothers following a hen that had answered and responded to my K and Hale Lonesome Hen. Couldn't be happier to have done this on a solo hunt. Figured I was getting too old to keep saying "maybe next year".

May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
