2022 Hunting kill thread

Haha a great start to September hopefully it continues for the fall!!

It was MT so pretty good jog from home country lol I was planning on burning my 13 points for CO elk this year but with the rule change I didn’t want to lose my MT points so changed plans and get to look forward to CO the rest of the year!

I was chasing a bigger one for the first part of the season. Was one step from having him on day 2. He either got shot in muzzle season or has just been ghosting me. At any rate, this guy was bigger than what I have been passing on and it was time. He would have been a real nice deer next year, but I killed him so we'll never know.

Guessing ground?

Kick butt either way, just like to know all the story.

Like a rifle and a fine hand load man!

Arcturus suit. Nothing fancy. Tree stand about 10' up. Showed up 20 minutes after I planted my ass. Diamond SB1 bow, carbon express arrows, and muzzy broadhead. 12 yards out. Pass through shot. Ran 50 yards, stopped, walked 10 more ......then no more.
 
Colorado public land bull. 150 yards. 22” 7mm STW 175 ABLR.

Found a dead head.

And buddy killed a goofy bull about 100 yards from mine.

During the honorably discharged Veteran’s and Youth season, I got a neat little button buck. He was not what I wanted, hoping the 8 point I saw earlier in the day would walk out, but for the freezer, he will do. Will spend the rest of the season, waiting for that 8 point or his brother.

Hearing a lotta critters in several states seem to have a little extra fat this year.

Did you notice this on your Mulie?
Dad and I were having this conversation. I have seen more squirrels the last month running around on the ground and collecting nuts and even out in hay/bean fields. He said his grandfather always told him that was a sign of a bad winter.
 
Even worse than the photo of the 10 point is this 8 from the other evening. Once I get the euros back, I'll post something that doesn't look like it was made with a 4MP camera from 20 years ago. My wife was extremely unenthusiastic in having to come out (she was sick).

Unfortunately for me, I'm tagged out on bucks for the season already, and I have a couple monsters that a cruising the ranch right now in daylight.

Sometimes it sucks having no discipline.
