My idea of a perfect vacation is to go somewhere that can spend the whole time camping, hunting and fishing. I think Colorado would be a great place to do that. I love to hunt and fish here in Missouri, but other states have different game.
In Colorado, I could hunt moose, elk, pronghorn, black bear, mountain lion, turkey, squirrel, rabbit (cottontail and jack), snapping turtles, rattle snake, minx, badger, fox and many other animals. Some of these animals have family in Missouri, but we do not have the variety and big game in Missouri that is found in Colorado.
I think it would be exhilarating to harvest a big animal like a black bear, elk or moose. I know those animals are huge and I know it would take some power to bring them down, but buck fever would not come close to the pure adrenaline that would be coursing through my veins while harvesting one of those big creatures.
After I am finished getting my hunt on, I would then fish. I would like to fish for rainbow trout and for that I would angle in the Arkansas River. There are many streams, lakes and reservoirs in which I could spend days on end fishing. I love to fish, and love to eat them even more.
When I have spent my day hunting and fishing, I would love to retire to the camping area where my camper is set up. Normally, when we camp, we are in a tent. That will not do in Colorado where there is the previously mentioned big game, such as bears. So we would borrow my father-in-law’s camper to stay at a place between Glenwood Springs and Aspen. We would grill the fish that was caught during the day’s fishing outing.
After all is said and done, spending time in the outdoors enjoying God’s creation is a great vacation for me.
