My tag was for the Saguache/Bonanza area southwest of Salida. I chose the Cochetopa Hills over by North Pass--farthest place in the game area from the Front Range.
It's really pretty over there but I got skunked. Again. All I left were footprints, all I took were photos. All I came home with was a body sore from walking.
Pretty little park up near 10K elevation ringed by bare aspen
Dawn in the Cochetopa Hills, as seen from my feet after getting an early start
Looking east from up high in the late afternoon twilight, the Sangre de Cristo faintly visible on the far horizon
The sad fact I came home with is that I really don't know much about hunting big game. I kind of think I'm like a flycaster throwing dries in the winter--too ignorant to know how futile my efforts even are.
Oh well, nice hikes in the mountains. Lots of looking and listening.
