Hunter’s Journal

    Hello all,  Sorry for the delay in getting these posted. As you all know I went fishing last week on the Grand Mesa in Southern Colorado, what a blast -  we caught 113 cutthroat, brookies and rainbows in only 3 days. 
    These pictures were taken off a stock tank on the southwest side of the ranch.  We believe the 26″/27″ buck on the left of both pictures is “Lucky” from last year.  He does not have the 9″ long G-1 from last year and he grew a G-2 in its place (boy did he grow up).  The Buck on the right is a newbe, we’ve never seen him before and I am totally pumped to watch this deer grow up.  He has a tripod on both front ends and a lone kicker on his left side making him a 18″ wide, 5×6 that is probably only 2 years old - what a buck (I wish the picture was larger so you could see all of his junk).  If anyone has a good name they want to donate - send it to me at rob@atkinsonexpeditions.com and we’ll see if we can use it.
    I have not checked camera’s since last Saturday and I can’t wait to see what other suprises are waiting for us (maybe Earl?).  We’ve been pounded with rain over the last week and got over 3.5 inches alone yesterday - talk about a late push for antler growth - we’ve got some great bucks this year.  Check back soon, I’m sure they’ll be something good to see.    Robert
