Awesome bull for anywhere in my opinion - the fact you got him on a DIY, public land hunt in CO makes it even more impressive!

You are RIGHT about the deadfall - it is terrible out west these days - CO especially. I was out there in September on a bow-hunt and it just plain sucked. There needs to be a giant fire out there that burns all those dead tree till they're gone. The area I was hunting had about 30% of the dead timber down and the rest was still standing. If there had been any kind of wind - there is no way I would have hunted some of the places I was in - way to concerned about falling trees. It will be many years before those forests are rid of that crap.
