Colorado Tradgang Elk Hunt Story

Back in Feb. I organized an elk hunt for Tradgang members who wanted to go on a backpacking elk hunt in the back-country. 8 guys are part of the group and the hunt is happening right now. I'm @ home right now but will be going back on Tues. I will tell my story up to this point and I'll let the other guys tell their stories here when they get back.

We have never had everyone in camp at once (guys wanted to be out hunting) so we had to take several pictures.

On the 10th. day that I was able to hunt (this Mon. the 13th), I called in a cow elk and shot it @ 12 yds. Unfortunately, she was 2.4 miles from camp and 7.8 miles from the trailhead. It took 2 hard days of packing, but the meat is now in the freezer.

We are having an awesome time enjoying God's creation and chasing the mighty wapiti with stick and string.

Thanks for taking us along Doug!
Nice shot on the cow!
In elk hunting the work always begins after punching the tag....
Look forward to reading adventures that others from your camp might have to share.
Keep the wind in your face!
Shoot straight, Shinken

There's more excitement coming but I want to let the others have a chance to share their story themselves so I won't let the cat out of the bag yet. Most of the other hunters will be hiking out next Wed. or Thurs. so you'll get to hear more about it then.
