Hunter appreciates kind community

With the holiday season it is a time to be thankful, and as important, to express that thanks.  This year I was fortunate to draw a moose permit in the Elkhorn Mountains, which included the Boulder Valley.  Given the drawing odds, this has become a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The hospitality Boulder Valley ranchers extended to me this past season is especially noteworthy.  Whether via phone calls or in-person, no sportsperson could have received a more welcoming or helpful response for hunting access to private lands than I did.  This included the following individuals and their families: Tom Dawson, Gene Compton and daughter Elise, and Marilyn and Ed McCauley.

I’d also like to extend a thank you to Rory and Sherry Parsons.  The unannounced visits to their door and the conversations that followed around their kitchen table was much appreciated.
