Decline of elk quality in Colorado GMU 61
My guess is most people with all the negative things to say about 61 have never had the privilege to draw it. I have and it was a great hunt. Don't expect to see 350 bulls all over, but plenty of solid 6pts around. I knew this going in so that is what I expected. What you will find is lots... -
Montana 412-20
Drew this permit for either sex. Was planning an archery hunt but due to changes at work I can't get away in Sept. I have hunted unit 410 for many years during archery season and have driven around 412 and thought it would be a fun to give it a try. However, I have never been there during... -

Example of antlers seeming to large for body. When you see a truly big bull you don't need to look twice. One of the biggest I've seen. -
Duck Baiting Season
Not one of yours, from Canada Saskatchewan. Always neat to see where they are from and when they were banded. I shot a pair of Canadian geese once that were banded and also had neck bands. They were both banded on the same day eight years prior.- Elk247
