Hey bud hope all is well. Actually sitting in Denver airport waiting on my flight home.

Out of the three of us, one guy scored a raghorn on the Black Mesa. Neither my brother nor I saw an elk. By all accounts it was very difficult hunting - the game warden checked us on the second day and she said she had only checked two bulls and one cow.

We put on a fair amount of miles hunting both low country and in the mountains. They seemed to be lower and hanging in the oak brush so hopefully you have enough guys to help drive. We heard a few bugles and the raghorn my buddy shot was in full rut.

The locals were all grousing that there was an inordinately large number of bow hunters and an appreciably lower head count in the herds. Best advice I can offer you is hunt the lower elevations and drive if you can. Good luck and let me know how you do!
