    Business management. The job is a territory manager position for a company that manufacturers metal buildings.

    Cool deal. Metal buidings are very popular we have guys put hay sheds, shops, barns, etc. I recently just put up a metal calving barn and am now in the process of adding an office/calving cabin to one side. Should be a good business to be in. Let us know how your interview goes.

    Interview went well. Not sure if I have as much experience as they want but I know I could do the job. I just hope that I made them believe it.

    One piece of advice while hunting this area of Colorado...be prepared to just sit and stare sometimes...sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm hunting...

    Both of the above pics and the following one were from 2011. We had a snow storm on day one just after we set up camp. The peaks were gorgeous after that. This next pic you can see why they call it the "Holy Cross" Wilderness area...the snow fills in the cross shaped cracks on Mt of Holy Cross...

    Beautiful scenery Matt.

    Remember to bring along yoru fishing gear if you want. There is a creek nearby that would be a great afternoon spot to fish and relax after a hard couple day's hunting. Fishing license are included with the tag this year.

    that is just amazing. Like i said earlier, if for some reason the hunting part doesn't work out, I'll come a long to sit in camp and take in the beauty of the land!

    Is it safe to say that anything that looks like it has 5" brows is legal? Or do you try to count points on one side too?

    If you read my recap from last year - you'll see that my opinion changed on that...Thanks to Will. I used to try and count the 4 points...but now I'm just looking for a 5 inch brow - if it has a 5" brow its a shooter. Counting points it a little too hard due to cover, if they are looking at you head on, and just how quick things can happen.

    I have spotted one bull off in the distance through binocs that was a spike, otherwise all other bulls I have seen were legal.
