ANYONE LOSE A BIG BULL IN THE ZIRKELS? (NOW WITH PICS!!!)
« on: September 20, 2012, 01:10:00 AM »
I found a good bull this past week in north central Colorado In the mount zirkel wilderness area that had been shot by an archer earlier this year. If anyone hit one they didn't recover, give a shout. I didn't bring the antlers out, (due to the smell!) but can put you there via map easy enough. I did find the broken shaft and broadhead do it should be easy to identify if it's the same bull. I have pics as well. Hope this helps someone put and end to wondering what happened. I know I'd like to know. I certainly won't post who's bull it is out of respect of your privacy.

My email is [email protected] as well. I can email pics too, but the shaft and head should be sufficient for identification.

I'm hoping so too. I lost a big 6x6 in southern Colorado a few years ago that I wonder about to this day! Liver hit and the sky opened up and it poured.

Elk have an amazing ability to WANT to live.  Even when things go right, they can be a pain to recover.

Me and a buddy hunted the Northern end of the Zirkle this year but never had the opportunity to loose an arrow. Hopefully you make a connection with the hunter, I know I would want to know where you found it if it were me.

ttt fellas.

So far, one possibility. Waiting to hear what arrow and heads the fella was shooting. Heard from his hunting buddy tonight, just wasn't sure of the arrows.

Some bowhunter is absolutely sick over that one! I hope you find him, but I doubt it will help the feelings he must be having.  The thought of what might have been will likely haunt him the rest of his days.

I have no doubt Whip. I know the feeling all to well. And it doesn't go away. It would be great to someday find a thread like this and find the bull I lost in the San Juan's in 07. If nothing else, I'd just like to know what I missed. Looked for that bull for 5 days. He bedded 2 times in the first 300 yds. His first bed was just 100-125 yds from where I shot him...
Darn rain...
