Elk hunting trip around the corner
#18634 - 30/08/04 03:24 AM

I leave for my self guided archery elk hunting trip this coming Thursday. I will pack 11 miles into the Weminuche Wilderness of South Western Colorado Friday morning September 3rd.

My buddy & I wil spend the first evening glassing the distant ridges from 11,500' trying to locate a couple of good bulls. I will be hunting through Saturday September 11th & fly home Sunday the 12th. Hopefully with a good bull in tow!!!

Either way I am sure I'll have a great time & have plenty of pictures & stories to share when I get back. Hopefully I can get a better one than teh bull I dropped there 2 years ago.

Achery hunting elk is a great way to start the 2004 hunting season. Just 2 weeks after I return I'll be able to hunt local whitetails. What a great time of the year

That's going to be a tough bull to beat! Good luck and take a ton of photos!

Pity he didn't wash his face before the photo. The dirty bugger.

PS That's a tree he is holding onto. A wonderful trophy.

So, how was the trip? The country is really filling up around here with hunters. Be glad when a few go home and we can get out and hunt a bit.

The trip was fantastic.........BUT, No bull this year

I had shots at a few small bulls early in the hunt, but I really wanted one of the big boys we were seeing. A friend of mine had a bighorn tag & took a real nice ram (With a 270) And I ran into a WHOPPER of a mulie........but I did not have a Tag

I'll be back again next year

Those mountains are to spectacular to miss

Half your luck mate, just to be in the company of such beasts would be thrilling. Congrats to your mate on the Bighorn score. cheers
