You buried in snow yet? We've had three snows of 9"+ so far this year, but it has always melted within a few days. Still have some on the north, shady side of the house - but that's about it. Snow on September 30th pics.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I'm serious. Basecamp has cabins (and a liquor store) that a lot of hunter stay in : http://basecampco.com/site-types/cabins The town of Black Hawk is a gambling town with lots of casinos and hotels such as Ameristar and Lodge Casino, Grand Z Casino / Hotel and The Isle Hotel /Casino. Not sure if they want a bunch of hunters traipsing through their gambling floor with rifles or not, but ya can always just enter through the garage, too. I have an extra bedroom (two single beds) with bathroom and a private entrance if there's only one or two guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Black Hawk is an old gold mining town with mostly historic buildings from that era comprising the town. It's really pretty cool. We live about 5 miles up the hill from Black Hawk in the Arapaho National Forest. I'm not sure about the hunting up here, but see hunters damn near every day and hear rifle shots all weekend long - so they're hunting something <gg>. There may be better hunting nearby - but I'm not aware of it as I'm, not much of a hunter myself. But loads of guys around here hunt elk and i could hook you up with some of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two of you could just crash here then if you'd like. It's a nice house, not some shit hole. Plenty of room for you. Do some research and decide what animals you want to hunt and where the best places to hunt are. Might check with the Arapaho Forest Rangers for starters. There may be better places to go around here as well.... like I said, I have zero experience. And you'll need a handheld GPS for sure. see: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/arp/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5443376 Edited November 16, 2017 by Earache 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowdog Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Thank you VERY much! I will start doing some research now in hopes to set something up with you for the beginning of next years season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman1 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 First day of gun is here! So far nothing, heard a few shots to the north and that’s about it. In for lunch and back out in an hour or so. Good luck y’all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Saw a bunch of deer down in Vinton County. Took a video of a doe stomping and snorting at me, shot a 4 pointer that had a big growth on his face and my 70-year-old hunting partner shot his first ever buck, an 8 point on Monday. Saw some Tuesday morning but not much happening in the afternoon since it was nearly 70° Beautiful woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
