CO elk hunt '11 in the books

[putm2sleep]

Another great season. (Got to our spot an hour and a half too late.... some hunters from Michigan took 'my elk camp' of fifteen years. I was bummed to say the least, but we made due.) Nothing special as far as quality, maybe next year?, but we do it ourselves on public land and have a blast every year! We harvested 4 elk, had 5 tags. Not too shabby success rate.

Great piocs, congrats to you guys and to your success.

I'd say 80% is pretty darn good. Congrats.

Ehh Eh.....from the horses mouth.

Great job guys. Can't argue with success like that. Like to hear guys enjoying the experiences with friends.

What mdunc said. So, did you score? Sounds like a good time regardless.

Thanks fellas.( Yes Oak, the out-a stater, 66, sure did - his 10th trip, went 100 yds from their tent openin' morning and was done by 7:30. His first bull in 10 years hunting Colorado, a dandy 6x6. Happy for them.
Yes it was a great time regardless. No, I was the only one not to score?, ironically. I had my chance. BUT tag soup for yours truly. (1st time in 15 years, that hurt) However, I hope that means I will be blessed with a great buck his 4th season. note: Weather is righteous along the front range here today, perfect deer hunting weather. >15 degreess & 10 inches of freshy pow pow!
Good luck to you guys this season!

Mud : Thanks, and we hunt the 1st season rifle season. I always tell the crew, ' any legal elk is a trophy baby!' So the other elk include a small dog and an ugly raghorn, but they'll taste good. And, both hunters are thrilled, just not worthy album material.
