Colorado deer hunt with the family

[Hunt4lyf]

I had a Colorado 3rd season buck tag this year and my wife and daughter came along for the fun.

Winter has started early this year with record cold and snow 3 days before the opener and there is still a lot out there.



I bought a new Kodiak Canvas Truck Tent just before the hunt to give them a bit more comfort and it worked out great. I was able to drive around with it set up, at slow dirt road speeds, with no problem. It will make a great mobile camp for deer and elk hunting where I am moving areas looking for animals



My first deer with the family with me, normally I'm solo and hold out for a bigger buck but I'm breaking my daughter in slowly and she really wanted to get a buck with me so when this 3x3 presented an opportunity I took it.



I've shot bigger but this is my best buck so far because my family was there with me. They weren't there for the shot, but having them there for the weekend and helping me pack it out was great.

Since I tagged out early I was going to jump a jet and go hit D16 with my Dad for a few days but he had to work so I'm headed out to the west slope to try to fill a cow tag.

Thanks! Agreed, we need as many kids involved as possible.

Thanks! We drug it out since it was basically all downhill to the truck, my wife helped me on a couple small uphill and my daughter carried the bag with the heart in it for most of the way.

Congrats on a great hunt and future hunts with your fam.

Well done!

I'm lucky that they want to go out with me, my daughter is counting down the days until she can hunt on her own. Thanks!

I purposely went to an area where the drag would be all downhill since I knew I was on my own to get it to the truck, I'm just lucky it actually worked out that way. Thanks!
