In the last episode of Dialed in Diaries, you watched my brother and I backpack into the Colorado backcountry in search of mule deer. No deer were harmed in the making of that film, but my brother was unfortunately. This caused us to pull the plug and head home 5 days early. It was a bummer all the way around, but necessary. He was in no shape to trek into the area we were planning on going. 2 weeks later, I’d head back to Colorado with a good buddy and try my luck again, which lands us here, episode 4.
For this hunt, my buddy Eric and his cameraman Ben would backpack into a completely different area than I was in on the last trip. Eric would hunt elk and I would hunt mule deer. Each day we’d satellite out from our camp and meet back up at night to reflect on the days events and enjoy a nice hot dinner. Good company in hunting camp is hard to beat. It offers a support system when things are rough, and this hunt was rough.
That’s gonna do it for Chapter 2, “High Country Mule Deer.” I know it doesn’t end with a big muley in my pack, but if anything, I hope you gained some good perspective from it. Hunting is not always peaches and rainbows, and this was a perfect example of that. With that being said, I can’t wait to get back to the high country next year. Until then though, a new chapter will be starting up soon! This next one will take you through my late archery bull elk hunt right in my home state of Arizona. I’ll give you a hint. It was another doozy and one of the arrows in my quiver did not look like the others. Keep you eyes out for that!
