I miss deer hunting so much, can't wait for my boys to get a little older to take them
Nice Whitetail! Congratulations to your Grandson!View attachment 59937 Grandson’s buck this year during Youth Hunt in Western OK. My turn Saturday for Muzzleloader.
You have some good hunting country there in Colorado.I'm planning to get back into it being home in CO after a couple years away, sadly I have no hunting buddies around. If anyone is interested in taking on a hunting buddy for 2019 or building a new group anywhere in CO - please ping me.
My last hunting adventure was a few years back for deer (succeeded), but I am geared up for fairly big game if necessary.
Kick ass !Daughter's first Elk, first day of the season.

Great memories! And makes for great hunting stories around the camp fire for later hunts.Daughter was super thrilled. One shot from her .270 at 75 yards in the perfect place and down it went. We got it out of the woods whole (gutted and bled out only) and back to the house in good order. Backstrap and scrambled eggs for breakfast the next day. Good season this year. Her description of the event is priceless.
Congratulations! Nice Whitetail! Whitetail are on me and my wife's wish list. We have alot of Blacktail here and have gone out of state (Idaho and Montana) and gotten Mule deer, but just haven't found a good place yet to go hunt Whitetail.I've had a great season so far, 2 bucks and a doe. 1 Illinois buck and doe, 1 TN buck.

A Blacktail is a very smart and tricky deer to hunt, but during bow season they are easier to hunt and spot, as they are in the velvet and tend to stay out in the more open areas more as not to hit their antlers on brush and tree limbs.It cost me about $500 to hunt Illinois as an out of state hunter. Hunted 2 different weekends and saw 1 other hunter and about 60 deer. This was the southernmost point of Illinois, not sure if it is different in other areas, but most in state hunters have their own land and the out of state people are paying for leased land. The pressure on public land seems to be lower than expected.
I believe Kentucky has reasonable non-resident fees and there are some darn good deer there.
Both are quite a haul for your though, just food for thought. I'd like to try for a black tail deer, I hear they are a tricky animal to get within bow range. But, if I'm traveling west, I'm stopping in Colorado for elk.
