IKC Colorado Trip w/ Maulers INC. and Maulers1316

[Killer Miller]

Well we headed out of the KC on Wednesday to Denver where Luke (Maulers Inc.) picked us up and we headed to Ft. Collins. He showed us some city geese before we went to his house.

Day 2. Hunted some water, since Luke's lease doesn't enable him to hunt on Friday's. But we did alright anyway. 6 heavies and 4 ducks. Lost a goose and a few ducks to the deep channel.

Ended the trip with a hell of a hunt. Took 11 honkers, 7 mallards and Luke killed a speck!!! Also, Doug shot a double-banded greenhead w/ $100 reward, and I killed the other 5 greenies. Here's the pics
Bryson with the pile of birds...notice the bands.

43 geese and 12 ducks in 4 days. What a trip!! Thanks again Luke and Bryson. Can't wait to get you boys on some ducks this fall!!!

[HRK]

thats one hell of a way to start the new years off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS to all you guy's on an awsome hunt..............

[woodiewacker]

awsome pics man i wish i had the hook ups like you or the cash to pay to hunt out there

[Steelheader]

Congrats man. That looks like an awesome trip.
You guys must have had a blast

[PaStacker83]

Great trip and sweet pics. I don't know about the whole bulls ball deal though, I would have had to tie a good load on to do that but definitely congrats on a good hunt!

[HRK]

KILLER
those bull knards........taste like chicken????

[IowaMigr8tor]

It was a GREAT trip. I can tell you that in September we all had no idea that we would be out in Colorado shooting honkers in January. It was an cool site out there. It is a totally different breed of hunting than what we are used to. Thanks again Luke and Bryson!

[Mark Spence]

SWEET!!!! Nice trip fellas..... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[TwinCreeks]

awesome hunt...I liked those collars in town :D

[Killer Miller]

Barry, the bull balls were pretty good. I am not sure how to describe them though.....they don't have that much taste really. They are chewy though. :lol:

[Maulers INC.]

Tyler I like the progressive pics. It was one hell of a weekend. Long and made us all pretty tired but it was fun as hell.

[Killer Miller]

Luke when you come here, we will stack the ducks up hardcore. Like we might have to take 2 trips with my boat...one for us and one for all the ducks. :lol:

[goosebuster1]

those pictures are sweet! i like the neck collars i have yet to shoot a band let alone a collar. How much would a trip like that cost a guy? Where did you hunt out of?

[mnbenelli]

Hey Barry...nice usage of the word "KNARDS" again. Nice job guys looks like a trip well worth making. Congrats!

[HRK]

mike
