Thread: Hello from the Mile High Colorado, USA

Thanks for the replies.
I live in Firestone, it is a small town between Denver and Ft Collins. It is on the East side of the foothills / Boulder.

I have tags for all three animals and will hunt next month for deer and antelope. Elk in November

Antelope are very quick, so it is a lot of glassing and driving until you see them way out and then try to stalk them. They have very big eyes and a keen sense of smell, so good stalking and/ or long range shooting is a must. I hunt them out in South East Colorado around Limon and Kit Carson. Antelope are also known as "speed goats" out in CO and Wyoming. Most folks use 243, 7mm mag, 7mm-08, 25-06 and other flat shooting cal's. They are not hard to harvest, just have to get close enough to place a shot.

There are also white tail deer and Mule deer in the plains, but I prefer to get into the mountains.

I hunt deer and elk up around 9000 or so feet, and walk in about 5 miles if I can. By the time I get back there, sometimes I hope I dont see anyting because it will be a long pack back to my vehicle, lol.

I will take plenty of picks this year and post them as I can

Here are my hunting rifles for this year

For Antelope and deer:

Tikka T3 7mm mag with Vortex


Mauser scout sporter in 7x57
