Colorado Bighorn Success
#19199 - 14/09/04 05:16 AM

We had a friend in our archery elk camp who drew a Colorado Bighorn tag. After many miles, many climbs & some very hard work glassing and hunting he took this fine ram

Here he is shortly after the kill

My buddy John & I take a break from our elk hunt to climb up & help Anthony with his ram. Here we are posing with his trophy

The weather was brutal up top that day. Here is my buddy John with Anthony after caping out the ram. Notice the rainbow in the background. A fitting end!

Some pictures with Anthony the next day....packout day!

Some views of a fine Colorado Ram. Congrats to Anthony!

Most of our hunting for elk takes placearound 11,500'. That is about 1000' higer than base camp. We get into elk al the way to the peaks above treeline....12,500++'

There are lots of bear in SW Colorado, but the stay at lower elevations this time of year for the most pasrt. Taking advantage of better food sources. From time to time they wander up into the high country..........going after hunters stashes for hunting camps

There weer also no mountain goats where I was hunting, but the do have them near by. They are great to see in the wild. They live in areas that make everything else we went through look take!

If I had a rifle I'd have been able to kill everal REALLY big mulies as well as some outstanding 6x6 and 7x7 elk. I had archery shots at some smaller bulls (4x4s & 5x5s) but I was holding out for a big one. Still...we had a real good time. The scenery alone is worth teh cost of getting there. You bet I'll be back next year
