I've had the tag twice and my dad once and it was dry and warm all three times. Its tough without weather.

I recognize that hill in the background

Been taking Hwy 58 on my way to my Nov. elk hunt in Colorado for 23 years. We've had snow on a couple trips but hwy has always been in good shape. We're rolling on the 5th, can't wait.

Great job for you and your son. I have killed a couple elk that have been run hard prior to me shooting them. When they are amped up they just don't react to a fatal hit like a calm elk will.

You guys that drew Grizzly, I helped my dad on his bull hunt and have helped a couple other guys. Feel free to get a hold of me if you have any questions. You're in for a cool experience!

Congrats. I've hunted it three times, feel free to send me a message if you want info.

I put one on my varmint rifle years ago and realized that I tended to cant my rifle even shooting from the bench. So I put one on my elk rifle and found that my groups when testing reloads improved a fair amount. I now have them on several of my mountain rifles because like Live4 said above...

Man this is tough as I get ready to head to Colorado for elk, which was always my dad's and my big trip each year. Dad passed away in 2018. Have tons and tons of pics of him and they are on a constant loop for the screen saver on my computer so I look at them all the time. Here's to our dads! ?

If its pretty cold, you will find that the memory foam gets really hard.

I had the ulnar nerves moved on both elbows about a year and a half ago. As well as a torn tendon repair and tendonitis repair. If your doc doesn't do any work on your tendons, you should heal pretty quick. Took me a long time to gain strength again.

Jeep. I've hunted the December cow hunt there several times, I always just used my pickup. The distances are long out there and it would make for a long day on a 4 wheeler.

A fun one that dad was really proud of. We both got our first elk that year (2007) and had several days to kill before heading home. Our camp was overrun with mice and dad made it his mission to clear out camp. Great memory!

Dad's first elk in 2007. He had hunted with a group of guys for about 10 years and they never scored. I got out of school and established in a career and could finally go. Took us a few years to make things happen and this was the result.
