Colorado Elk Hunt Remembered

[twistedlim]

I recently returned from a great hunt in central Colorado.  The bulls were quiet until the end of the week so we did not have much of an opportunity.  I was able to call one bull in on the second to last day to about 30 yards which was very exciting and we had 6 or 7 bulls going the last afternoon.  3 guys with 3 traditional bows, lots of tough hiking. I saw 2 bears close up (10 feet) a mountain lion and 2 of her kittens, bunch of turkey and mule deer. No animals taken but all and all it was a great sucess.

Outstanding!  I've had to get my elk hunting fix through the stories and pictures of others this year.  Yours really did the job.

Thanks for sharing those great memories.  There's truly nothing like a high country elk hunt for making memories and testing your metal.

Forgot to mention...this is a true story believe it or not;

I was relaxing by a pond one afternoon by a game trail.  My legs were dead so it was time for some R and R.  My buddy was 70 yards or so across the pond from me and I noticed he was laying down.  Monkey see monkey do so I layed down on my side pulled out my iphone and was browsing through THIS website. I tured off my phone and looked up to see a brown colored black bear 10 feet away from me on the game trail. Fortuatly it did not notice me but it made me a bit uneasy and I put my iphone away for good  

The only downside is I just turned off my phone so I could not get a video of it.
