Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I've been here 25 years. Took me a few to really get to know the hunting. Usually get a deer and elk, waterfowl hunting can be good too. We do have several CAS clubs here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Generally hunting opportunities in the SE are great, but I love the western pace and always wanted to elk hunt. My wife and I are wanting to plan out an elk hunt next year, for the both of us, but not sure where to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The grain fed mulies here in Kansas are quite large and I've never seen a deer in Colorado that compared in body size. The elk in Colorado however, are frequently hugely magnificent! I have been lucky to see plenty of very impressive elk all over Colorado. I don't hunt 'em. I just love seeing them. Impressive and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Me too. They are magnificent. I have been around elk a bit on summer trips to Wyoming in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, but mostly on pack trips into the Absarokas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, French fries, French onion soup (without cheese) and, all sorts of French pastries. Someplace like Lone Spur Cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have mulies, white tail, black tail (aka Texas black tail), and something called Couies (?) deer. See lots of all of them around except during deer season.

And remember... they are named after Dr Elliott Coues, a former U S Army surgeon and naturalist, who more or less discovered the species. Dr Coues pronounced his name "Cows." Not "Cooze." Sorta like that whole Garand name thing... Those in the know will pronounce it correctly. Those who are not will pronounce it incorrectly and claim they're correct. But we know they're not.
