EP 406: Colorado Mule Deer Audio Experience

Welcome to another Audio experience. This time join me and good friend Craig Van Arsdale as we battle the crowds of public land Colorado. Going into this hunt we had high hopes, with great snow during 2nd season things were looking up the week before our 3rd season hunt. As the weather took a turn for the damn near tropical, we knew it was not going to be an easy hunt. With less than ideal temps and more people than Disney World on a spring day, we battled learning a new area and the ever continuous battle of trying to figure out the wholes where other hunters were not. Follow along as we work through game plan after game plan to figure things out.

This Audio Experience is also brought to you by Maven Optics, which is fitting because Maven was a huge part of my success in Colorado. On this trip, I had my 11×45’s, my B.5 18×56, and my S.1 Spotter with me at all times. The 18’s were a game changer and allowed me to glass up deer in more country than I imagined. This was a pretty tough hunt, with weather and people as you are about to see, we relied heavily on utilizing our glass to find deer inside the timber when they weren’t up and moving.

If you aren’t familiar with Maven Optics yet you need to check them out. They are direct to consumer Optics company that is taking the optics world by storm. The New B.5 Binoculars which I used heavily on this hunt, won the Outdoor Life Editors Choice Award, which is a huge honor. Check them out at Mavenbuilt.com and if you use the code “TRO-GIFT” at check out you will get a free gift with your purchase. Again that’s Mavenbuilt.com
