No Deer but Fish

[MtnMike2]

Just finished a week of hunting and fishing in the mountains (Grand Mesa) and now have to go back to work
I'm going to have to change my tactics if I want to get a good Mulie. I was hunting for one w/ a good rack. The only shot I had was on a running buck I jumped. I need to either learn to raise my muzzle loader and shoot fast or get permission from a private land owner to hunt on their land. Seems like the bucks go to the private land as soon as even muzzle loaders start going off. Oh well...
I did some fine fly fishing though. Caught a nice brown trout (18") in the Gunnison and fished some high alpine lakes on the Mesa for cutthroats. Didn't watch any tv, listen to any radio or see any newspapers.
Now back to reality.... what a drag.
