April 3rd is the deadline in Colorado to submit your big game application. For 2007 I'm in a bit of a situation. I don't want to commit to hunting the unit I hunted last year because I'm not sure if I'll get the time off from my new job.
The good news is that I can be pretty sure of getting the tag I want in my home unit. If I do get the time off from work, I can surrender my home unit tag and buy an unlimited bull tag over the counter so that I can camp and hunt with my buddies. Time will tell.

Duck Wrap-up and Talking Turkey
Well, duck and goose season came and went. Despite that lack of success, I'm hooked! I've already got 2 dozen dekes and a mojo for next year. I'm also considering how I can afford a private hunt in South Dakota. Something I could do myself and maybe bring my dog Rio along for the ride.
Rio has turned out to be a great dog. When she isn't sleeping with my kids (to keep away the Boogie Man) she's teaching Copper (our Golden) the tricks of mountain living. I've done some basic retriving training with her and she's pretty good. Fortunately the shotgun doesn't bother her, so there's one less issue to deal with. (As opposed to my buddy whose Golden ran for the truck the first time he fired his shotgun.)

Well, turkey season starts pretty soon. I just ordered 2 pairs of decoys from Sierra Trading Post. Don't get me wrong, I love Cabelas, but a deal is a deal. I got 2 Flabeau breeding pairs for $30 total plus shipping. WHAT a DEAL. I figure I can put one jake with two hens and the other jake a bit further out. Hopefully that will bring the target in close enough...
I probably should change the title of my blog, but I'm not sure I can, so for now it'll stay as is. I hope you don't mind.
