We kicked off our archery big game season on Saturday morning here in western Colorado. Glenn and I were hunting for elk on Saturday and Sunday and were very aware that it was getting up in the '80s by midday. Not so bad if you stay out of the sun...hmm, dark timber sounds like a good idea. We didn't have any luck yet, but sure had fun.
Tomorrow morning we'll be out in the field hunting Colorado blue grouse, or dusky grouse as the wildlife biologists have renamed it. I'll confess- there were a few times over the weekend that I wished I was bird hunting. It had a lot to do with the dogs. It's just hard for me to leave them behind. They are my best four-legged hunting buddies and there is something missing when I'm hunting without them. But then again, I'd be a hungry hunter if I had to live off of the few blue grouse I shot on the wing last year.
So I'll thank my blessings that I am able to go hunting every chance I get, any way I can. Whether I am in the thick of the action or quietly waiting under a tree for it to happen, it's never a dull moment hunting. I am blessed to live in a beautiful country filled with God's creatures. They keep me on my toes, keep me honest, and if I'm lucky, keep me fed.
