The biggest deer my dad ever killed. Mulie taken near Gypsum, CO during the hey-day of mule deer hunting in the mid 1960's. Sadly this mount and several others were lost in a house fire.

OK... I'll repost here. To go get more I'll have to scan some old prints.. I believe it was 1969 or 1970. I know we were all using recurves then. Compounds were just around the corner. This was my first out of state bowhunt to the Hot T camp in SW Colorado. This is the cabin that we bunked in. This is my hunting buddy John Trout Jr. Before he started writing outdoor hunting articles This was the only thing we killed on the trip. A sage hen. This is the gentleman we were hunting on Wayne Flowers. A cowboy’s cowboy. This is him, his wife Nellie (camp cook) and his son standing in front of the cook house. The first year we hunted there the cost was $75 for 5 days of hunting and that included food. The next year it was $125, but I had won a free trip in an indoor archery shoot, so John and I split his cost and we both went. Later that year the staff from Bowhunter Magazine went out there, published an article and the price jumped to $250 for the following year. I never went back to the Hot T after that, but still hunted Colorado for another 5 or 6 years. Yeah, we always brought back cases of Coors.

oldthree arrows,
I don't recognize the bigger red building. Was that a recent build after 1970?
That one on the right looks like the old cook shack...

The “Ebenezer Gang” ……. Named after an old country church that we hunted close to.. Left to right - John Trout Sr., John Trout III, Me, John Trout Jr., Mark (Woodmaster) Williams, Ross Rinehart, Eddie Rinehart, Alva Rinehart. John Trout Sr. and Eddie Rinehart have passed on. John Trout Jr. is a pretty well known outdoor writer. Ross Rinehart is currently the Marketing Manager for Bear Archery and is bringing up his three boys to enjoy hunting. John Trout III works for the power plant up by Rockport and has one son named Luke. Luke killed his first deer two years ago during the MZ season on mine and Woodmaster’s little hunting spot, Woodmaster works at ALCOA, kills whopper deer every year and spends a lot of time with his two grandsons just waiting until they are old enough to take to the deer woods. Alva retired from almost a lifetime of working in the archery industry, In his day he was one of the best archers around. He shot the first back to back perfect rounds in field archery in the state of Kentucky. Me… I’m still kicking…

Woody the red building directly behind me was the cook shack and where Wayne and nellie stayed. We slept in the log cabin bunk house same as you. Then there was a little cabin they called the honeymooner's shack right across from it.

My first bow kill. a "non=typical" 3 pointer. A fork on one side and a spike that was bent at a right angle and laid flat on his head. Carrol Gentleman Jim Take down. 48# @ 28" draw. Shooting 2018 aluminums with Zwickey Eskimos. The other hunter is a 16 year old kid I was tutoring that killed the same evening. .
