This blind Jason built is 6'x6'x6'. It's allowing me to get my morning workout in. This is the first leg of the highly elusive Colorado goat slam.

Dad & I hunted that area with Fred Eichler a few years back & it was tough. Lot's of goats but no water hole action what so ever. Probably just a wet year. Keep us posted!

Raining hard!!
From: Forest bows

Headed down to see how much rain we got. If to wet we will try some spot and stalk. Jason donates a hunt every year to the CBA and a elk hunt to the RMEF.

Not a PY buck, Maybe in the 12 inch range. Ears are generally 6 inch long for comparison. With some mass, the horns should be in the 14 in length range to make PY.
From: Forest bows
16-Aug-18
How about this one?
From: Paul@thefort
16-Aug-18
if the prongs were higher/longer than length of the ears, maybe but not that one.
From: Paul@thefort

Forest, Here is a picture of my PY buck back in the day, ie, mid 1990s. Length of horns, 13 7/8 and 14 1/4 both with fare mass.

Stalking was cut short today as we got chased off the Prairie buy a very violent rain and hail storm. I did not get a shot but came close 6 or 7 times. I saw the largest Antelope Buck I have ever seen today and had him under a hundred yards three times. Jason thinks he would be 85 in Plus. there is just so much water everywhere I packed up and headed to Kansas to do some prep for Whitetail hunting I'm going to try to get back in late September to try to decoy during the rut.
