Finally got my act together to at least post a few pics of my Colorado elk hunt. Just got back Saturday, and am still putting stuff away, and getting caught up on a honey-do list that balooned when I was away. It was a great hunt, and was really glad to be finally be able to get to go on this long awaited hunt with my friend Jeff - AKA DeerKing. As many of you already know, and I already knew too... just confirmed... he is truly a first class guy, and a very knowledgeable and dedicated hunter. I have come to the conclusion that elk hunting is like riding on a roller-coaster... physically, and mentally...full of highs and lows... exept for the screaming and throwing up part. Full story to follow when I get a decent chunk of time to tell it. Thanks Jeff!
The hunt was a tough one with hot and dry weather, just post-rut, full moon, and more than the usual number of hunters. The elk were not in the usual hangouts. This is the fruit of simply toughing it out, and just getting out there and continuing to plug away, that one last day of the season. Anyway... here are a couple pics of my first elk! He isnt the stud of the mountain by any stretch, but you wont find anyone else happier with their bull this season!
