    The ranch I am putting in for takes 25-27 points. I worked up there in the 90s, and the have some amazing bulls. I have seen a couple pushing 400" in the last few years I have taken my mother and wife hunting for cows there.

    As I predicted I drew buck pronghorn and cow elk and will be carrying 5 big game tags in three separate seasons. First in early October for pronghorn in NW CO, then second season cow and bull elk and probably black bear in the Flat Tops, then third season buck deer in the trophy deer unit south of Rangely.

    With luck I'll connect with one. All on public lands I've taken 10 pronghorn and 29 of 30 elk in NW Colorado. Hope to have a few more left in me.

    For pronghorn hunting I camp from the back of my truck the night before the opener. It's usually a one day hunt. For elk I go prepared to hunt to the end of season with my camp trailer. It's a '67 Prowler that I've used since new. Still works. I'll probably take it for the deer hunt this year and plan to hunt to the end of season.

    Here's a pic of pronghorn country and my base camp truck and trailer in the Flat Tops taken from the top of a mountain 1.6 miles south and 1450 ft. above. The camp is in a meadow surrounded by aspen at the end of a forest service spur road.

    I hope all you guys collecting preference points are still planning to hunt. There's lots of opportunity for elk in the over-the-counter units (like where I hunt), and with left over deer, elk, pronghorn, and concurrent deer/elk season bear tags. You can hunt bear in any unit where you have a deer or elk tag, and in all four seasons, not just the season you have the deer or elk tag.

    You can't harvest an animal or develop experience if you don't hunt every year.

    I been stacking preference points forever for elk. Normally I?ll grab an OTC or leftover, but some years life gets the in way and I have to limit my time in the field, when this is the case I normally just stick to deer. Sadly it?s been so long since I got one that I am really looking forward to getting in on one of these ranches and getting a dream bull.

    I love to hunt, but life does get in the way a lot. I hunt from home, driving up to 60 miles each way when I get to go out. Filling the freezer isn't as critical since we have hogs and cows. They fill the freezer pretty good, and we know what goes into them, unlike store bought.
