Colorado Unit 2 !!!!
I took my bull on public on the back side and below wandas property. It was a hump to get back there but there are a lot of animals and it's worth it. I would have loved to have access to Wanda's on this hunt but was financially not prepared for it. I have hunted Cows on her property several... -

My first bull down CO unit 2 Muzzleloader
Ya it's a sceery cow call, I really liked it. Got some good reactions but then again those bulls aren't playing with a full deck that time of year. MHMT closest guess so far, within an inch! His net will likely end up just below 320. He was about as "typical" as any elk I've ever seen. Only... -

My first bull down CO unit 2 Muzzleloader
I took him with the 250gr Thor bullet in a Thompson Omega with blackhorn 209 powder. The bullet didn't expand as I thought it would but it was a longer shot quartering away and it went through about 8'' of backstrap before it hit his spine. I think it tumbled in the muscle as the back of the... -

My first bull down CO unit 2 Muzzleloader
So I got back from unit 2 several weeks ago but have been super busy catching up from missing a week of work. The hunt ended up being amazing tons of animals all day everyday. The bugles are still haunting my dreams. As I have said before this was my first bull taken. I started this journey... -

Elk Field Care Advice
I haven't see the video for the gutless method but will never again gut anything if I can help it. Not sure what the video shows for the tenderloins but I make two perpendicular cuts to the spine above and below and cut any short ribs still attached and pull that section away and trim the... -

Colorado Unit 2 !!!!
P.S. when I took my bull in to get processed, I saw a 380+ bull that was taken the day after that greeen scored as 2nd biggest taken in CO with a muzzleloader. Mine will end up in the top 50-60 B&C in CO muzzleloader all time but was nothing next to this beast. Congrats to this guy! -

Colorado Unit 2 !!!!
The unit was amazing got to 20 yards on a bull every day! I ended up taking my first bull on the 8th day after working, seeing, and passing on 60+ bulls. I have never seen a bull bark, and scream like in this unit. The front of the mtn was in full rut, the back didn't have any idea it was... -

Colorado Unit 2 !!!!
I should say not a shooter because he is missing his G2 on the left. It was not broken, just missing. He was a solid big bull just missing 18 or so inches of mass -

Colorado Unit 2 !!!!
So we went over to unit 2 last thursday to do some scouting prior to the season opening and we caught this guy coming down to a mud hole just of the highway with 3 cows close behind. He came within 100 yards of the road and didn't seem to care that we were there whatsoever. Not a shooter but we... -

Choosing BP bullet for CO ?
If you want to try something else as well order the tru glo globe and ghost ring set and only put on the front site. The fiber optic front is at least half and maybe less in thickness than the normal factory sites and the target is much easier to see without the front post taking up all of your... -

Choosing BP bullet for CO ?
I should have mentioned I am shooting the 250gr as that is what thor recommended for elk. It will shoot faster and flatter than the 300gr and still have plenty of energy and expansion. Great bullet! -

Choosing BP bullet for CO ?
Give the Thor a try I am using it for a once in a lifetime Unit 2 Muzzleloader hunt this year sitting on top of 95gr BH209. Accuracy was minute of elk to 275 yards with open sights. (not that I plan on shooting that far) Also if you haven't seen them I recommend replacing the front site with... -

Well done, how many points did it take for you to draw? Are you planning on getting up there before the season. I was planning on waiting for rifle but I don't think I would have drawn for 3 or so more years with the # of people with 16 points
