Staycations are all the rage lately. The gist is a get away, but not with a Hawaiian price tag. This is our second staycation with Kyle and Angie and I think we pretty much know how to rock them. Last time, we hit up a mountain town, but this time we stayed closer to home and Jim got to join us! We stayed in Greeley, CO in order to head pheasant hunting near Yuma, Colorado (NE Colorado).
We got to Angie's house on Friday night and stayed up way too late playing cards. I'm pretty sure I saw after 2am when we went to bed and the alarm went off at 4am. But wow - what a night with friends! And getting up at 4 was SO worth it! Angie got us hooked up with some of her coworkers at the Yuma JBS feedlots. We were so lucky to join their group. They were incredibly hospitable and we ended up seeing about 30 birds flushed that morning. It was an amazing day of hunting. Private land is Way better than hitting up public land as we have in the past. Normally in Colorado... we are lucky to flush one or two birds. This was the better way to go!
We finally had to stop hunting to head to the final CSU game of the year. We may have missed kickoff, but did enjoy watching the game from our field passes that we scored from our friend, Dan. Plus, we took three of the birds home to cook up some sweet appetizers. Man... what a weekend. Can't wait to see where we go next year!
