And Opening Day is tomorrow. By Sunday evening, most of the gun-totin' tourists will be on their way back to whatever City they're from and we locals will have the river bottom to ourselves.

    Yep. This is exactly what I had her built for.

    Thanks for reminding me to take the camera. I'll be hunting a whole 15 minutes from my house. Gawd how I love Rural Colorado.

    Well, after a whole week hunting, I ended up leaving my camera and cell phone at home today. My buddy and I both filled our doe tags, though.

    If you want, I can take picture os the shoulder and haunch quarters hanging in my garage[:D]

    There isn't much of a story, I was hunkered down in the willows at river's edge, watching two does cavort about 500 yards away when I heard a splash to my right. There, about 25 yards away was a little (and I mean little) doe, standing in the water, watching me. I slowly raised the 257 Roberts and put the cross-hairs on her chest. She obligingly took a quarter turn and I shot her.

    She flipped up and back into the water. I chased her downstream for about 200 yards where she hung up on a tree.

    When we were quartering her out, I found that her left foreleg had been broken and was infected up to the knee. I just threw that whole shoulder away, coz it smelled funky.

    I feel terrific about my first deer hunt. I would have loved a larger doe, but I consider it an honor to have ended this little girl's pain.
