During the Colorado September blackpowder season we headed to the mountains. This trip has become an annual event among a few family members and friends. This year we were early for the rut, but still managed to see several elk and even put a little meat in the freezer.

We stayed for the entire 9 day season and made our home in an outfitter tent above 10,000 feet. We don't use a guide or an outfitter and freelance the trip ourselves. It's a hard way to hunt, but we managed to walk lots of miles and catch some of the most picturesque scenery you could ever want. 

Looking into a canyon that will make and evening hunt.

Looking southward over canyon that holds a creek and offers a fantastic view.

About mid-trip the weather turned and a north wind swept in a skiff of snow.

A GPS is handy when everything looks nearly the same.

A cow that I managed to stalk up to in a medow. She was with two other cows and a calf.

After taking my cow and working to get her cut and cooled, we left her for the night to pack her out the next day.

A nice 6x6 that I called in for another party member.

The work begins. This pack was almost a full mile
