Time to start looking at the calendar and getting some dates reserved. Ordered my OTC Elk tag for Colorado today. Third rifle season, Nov 11-17. Also looking at: Central Zone Dove opener Sept 1-2 Teal hunt Sept. 16 Whitetail rifle opener Nov 4-5 (probably try to get the kids on does) Probably do some hunting thanksgiving week and try to hit the rut around early December. May try to tack on a crane hunt, big duck hunt, or nilgai in the spring (if I don’t get an elk and have freezer space). Was driving on 77 yesterday north of Raymondville and saw a big nilgai bull over the fence, I really want to make that hunt happen soon. Got out to the range over the weekend to function test my phoneskope and spotter, it worked well. My shooting was bad at first, but after the rust was knocked of it improved to not great/not terrible. Something to build off of and stretch out to 500+ with the help of real-time feedback of the spotter and spotting scope with video. Second group was sub MOA. Room for improvement.
