CO Archery Season & Fuzzy Horned Whitetail

So the CO archery season is in full swing and the hunting has been pretty good. We have been seeing some really good mule deer at our water troughs, and the elk are talking like crazy. We don't have anything on the ground yet, but have had a 170ish mule deer within 30 yards, but on the wrong side of the fence, and a 280ish bull elk at 22 yards. The elk came in on the 2nd day of the season and he just wasn't big enough for that early in the season. Here's a little video after it was decided that he wasn't big enough. He's the bigger of the 2 elk in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng_jmFquRJg
Not being in CO this time of year is weird for me, but I've been going to different ranches and scouting for whitetail and have been seeing some really big deer. It looks like a lot of the deer just stuck their head in the protien because of the drought. I've seen several deer that just blew up and grew 30"+ this year. Crazy in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history in this part of the world. I'm really excited about getting out to start hunting whitetails. I've got some great whitetail to hunt this season if anyone is still interested. It's going to be an awesome season and I've still got dates available, so just let me know.
