I would trade you our 90's we are in right now for that right now but in 3 months I wouldn't trade this for anything!

It dropped 2 degrees and some nice big flakes. This isn't the first time that I've seen it snowing, I'm just pretending that it is.

Always a treat to check in on ur adventures, as luck would have it, I'm tentatively planning a CO elk hunt for next fall.

I'm going to need a clandestine brassica patch for next year.
I'm going to need some more scripture.
Phil, that looks like you, I thought someone else stole your handle. Let's talk more about your elk hunt when time comes.
The south San Juans from my deck Friday.
A bit closer Saturday morning.
I spent half of the day enjoying this aspen thicket. Mule deer tracks and mule deer all over the place in the fresh snow but no elk or elk sign.

Thanks lak, I was actually thinking about buying a camera.
369 pictures last night, my food plot is being chewed down pretty fast.
A little button buck
was joined by some antlers.

Great pics, love the aspens. I hear young moose tastes pretty good
Thanks Fly, I hear the same about young angus and they are much easier to find standing in the road.
I have yet to hear anyone rave about mule deer.

I know of Wolf Creek but have never skiied there. Looks good. I have just done Breckenridge area and Vail in CO. Have done several in Utah. Utah hard to beat as you fly in to SLC and in 45 min are on some great slopes. Have skied waist deep powder in UT but to me it was pretty and different, but too much work. Breckenridge best overall I've been to. Great town. May have to ck S. CO for a change, haven't been out for few years. Again, really appreciate the ride along. Between you and my buddy that just moved to Alaska showing me pics, I getting a bit of wanderlust kicking in.
G - in all that wandering around the mountains deal you have been doing have you found any shed antlers?

When I started my western skiing career 27 years ago we had a place to stay at Keystone so we did Summit county, Vail, and Beaver Creek. I liked the back bowls at Vail. More recently we had a place to stay at Steamboat. At Steamboat you can get 1800' vertical on one chair. I've seen waist deep powder at Steamboat coming off of Storm Peak, lay back and just fall.
I have yet to find a shed but I have been in summer and fall range. Most of these animals migrate south below the highway to the high desert region. A lot of that area is Ute land and from everything that I have heard they do not take kindly to trespassing. There is some National Forest land down that way that I will check out come shed season.

I spent some time in the hills on Sunday.
After I gathered a load of wood I went back up in another direction.
I'm interested to see what swims up out of the reservoir in the fall, there are kokanee in the lake. Sure enough, later in the evening I found a school of anadromous fish stacking up under the log jam.
The first one that came out I had no idea of what it was. A laker?
The second was the goofiest brookie that I ever saw, lacking the typical vermiculation pattern. Dolly varden? Both fish were squirting jiz.
