After 22 years of banking points, I decided to go after a big buck in CO. Based on season dates and research I narrowed it down to units 66 and 67. I really wanted to hunt this year so I decided on 67, which takes less points to draw. Turns out, I made the right choice because I probably didn't have enough points for 66 based on point creep.
I arrived a few days before the opener to scout the unit and turned up a few decent bucks. Lots of 140-160 class bucks on the unit. I'm not really that caught up on score, but I was looking for a special buck. I spent the next 6 days covering a bunch of country and glassed a good number of deer. Conditions were warm and not much rut activity to speak of. Hunting pressure was pretty heavy with elk hunters in the area as well.
Ended up finding this buck on the evening of the 17th pushing some does around. Right when I saw him, I knew he was the buck I wanted. Heavy dark horned typical muley. Even better is I had my nearly 80 yr old dad with me on this hunt. Lot's of great memories and a storybook ending.
