Looks like my wife and I are going to Colorado for a private land cow hunt in January, since I did not get a tag for AZ. Oh, well, it will be a vacation for us Very Happy

Did not get drawn for deer either Sad

I only put for cow and did not get drawn; did not get drawn for deer either. Looks like I can do an extra p-dog trip this year and maybe some coyote calling and squirrels, rabbits and quail....I feel better already!
