Images from the Fall Muzzleloader Hunt 2016

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

Chilly, frost-bitten mornings.  Vibrant orange, red, and yellow fall leaves.  Beautiful crisp blue cloudless skies.  Warm campfires glowing after the sun has set.  Muzzleloader mule deer season falls at the most beautiful time of year.  I did not have a tag this year, but I went out with my party and simply followed along.  I carried the iphone with me to snap a few photos, and I just wanted to share how great a hunting season can be even when you don’t have a tag.

The aspen trees on the La Sal Mountain are quickly loosing their leaves. But before they hibernate for the winter, we are treated to a beautiful display of fading colors.

Color is running from the base of the mountain to its crown: red, yellow, orange, green, brown!

I am just along for the ride, but the scenery, smells, and tastes of fall on the mountain are more than worth it.
