Sounds like you were into them the entire trip, and that's more than a guy can hope for.  Sometimes it comes together, but more often not.  Either way, success was your's!  Thanks for taking the time to tell a great story and share the pictures - I enjoyed every minute!

Blackdog,
I used to stomp around that area when I went to college in Alamosa (close to Antonito), great country as I long to return there.  Your hunting trip reminds me of my own four days of hunting here in Idaho, lots of close encounters but no meat.  
What I like to hear is that you still had a great time eventhough no elk were killed.  This confirms to me that you have your priorities in order, the journey is more important than the destination.
Next year I hope you may savor the flavor of your well deserved Elk.
Bill

Al Kidner, I read about your hunt and enjoyed it. Sounds like you had a good trip also.

  Kenny M, you know I thought about taking something to write on, but didn't. I probably did leave out half the story, ha. Wouldn't have mattered anyway as we were always chasing elk, eating or sleeping. Not much down time.
