I got drawn for Muzzle Loading Antelope.....
No draw for deer or elk....refund checks
I will be hunting dove, quail, ducks and coyotes too.
If I get time I will attempt another prairie dog slaughter....it's been 2 years.

Deer buck tag muzzleloader
Bull elk tag rifle...(last year I also got a left over cow tag hope this year is the same)
Antelope doe tag rifle
Bear tag muzzleloader to go with my deer tag.
Pheasants that is mandatory for the dog she would dis own me if she did not get to bird hunt.
Anything else I can hunt in between my first kill for the year was a skunk let the hunting begin.
got a rifle deer tag, next year I'm going to put a texas address on my app. so I can get an elk tag, because I cant seem to draw one, but when I get up there it looks like I crossed the state line, because every lic. plate is from crappy texas. it makes you wonder, if texas is so great for hunting like they say, why are they all here in colorado?

1st season rifle, bull elk tag.
I've been toying with the idea looking for a left-over muzzle-loading tag but I haven't yet.
Actually, I don't even have a muzzle-loader. I should really get one and shoot it for a year before I try hunting with one.

Because almost all of Texas is private land and to hunt you either hunt in a preserve or lease land to hunt on.....either way it is cheaper for them to pay an out of state tag and hunt here. I like them here...it keeps my hunting fees down. Imagine everyone (residents) paying $200 plus for a deer tag.
If you want to hunt elk for meat....in the back of the rifle section of the hunting brochure for each species there is a section called Ranching For Wildlife. It is a draw for residents only. It is for Colorado hunting preserves and all cow tags have to be given to residents at standard fees....it means you get a guided hunt....for the standard draw fee $45.
I get a cow tage every 2 years and fill my freezer....last year when I arrived, they offered me a 2nd tag as the DOW wanted to thin their herd but didn't hant additional hunting pressure. So I got a double hunt.

Got a first season either sex Elk tag. Will also try to do some small game hunting and would really like to get in some bird hunting and varmint hunting but my consulting travel schedule will ruin all that from now through Oct.
prairrie dogs, rabbits and yotes. One year i want to go to wyoming for antelope.
and yes in TX leases are expensive. I shared one with my cousin and it was 1000 a year on a small lease

Hey Tim, If you ever want to take a hunting trip to Nebraska I have a house out there in Benkelman. I usually hunt the Pheasant are Forever fields and around the State Wildlife Areas the one in particular is Swanson Reservoir about a 25 minute drive from the house. Dove hunting is good there in the early part of the season but, It's so fricken hot. Anyway let me know if you want to shoot some birds this season, me and my dog are always ready. [WooHoo]

Paper, as always. :)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/Tedwantsthemdead/Gunfighter.jpg I drew my Archery Deer and applied for a preference point for Archery Elk. I'll buy a state wide over the counter Archery Elk before the start of the season. I'm going to try to get a leftover Cow Elk tag for the second rifle season. [Coffee]

elk
dove
duck
geese
prairie dog
pheasant

I'm going to try to get a leftover Elk license. My group procrastinated and we didn't get together to get licenses early.
Hopefully this year my luck will be better last time I was up hunting I had a Cow Elk tag and take a wild guess what the one Elk I saw in the area wasn't [Mad]

Archery Deer.....next week
1st rifle Elk
Coyote
Rock Chuck
Would like to check out the area north of grand junction where it's BLM land and tons of jack rabbits.
- Drew E-CO (116 Buck Tag)/access to 10,000+ acres (Of course those new DOW rules took all my "banked" points so I guess I'd better go!)
- Preference Point for Elk due to job search (Think I now have 8 or 9... Any suggestions for next year?)
- Prairie Rats and "targets of opportunity"
- Dove (I LOVE dove hunts, but I need to find some better places -- the twenty-seven trees I hunt in E-CO get shot out pretty fast [ROFL2])
- Maybe some pheasant later...

Pheasant, it's all I ever hunt. I've gone out to eastern Colorado with my dad 1-2 times a year for the last ten years or so and neither of us have ever actually gotten anything, so it's more of a hanging-out trip than a hunting trip lol.
