Re: Colorado Elk ....

Yeah they wont waste anytime moving down now. Hopefully the next two days you guys will be busy! Man 200 yards! Better check his zero!

If things are hot tomorrow try to get a good early hunt on Friday, no rush going home with tags left! Especially if the hunting is good and I bet it will be!

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Thanks for the pix, Aspeck. Nice looking animals and scenery! Judging by the terrain, I bet a guy finds his heart in a real hurry while walking around.......

ps: Lipp, we just had our first "dusting" this morning. Enough to barely stick on the ground and vehicles....

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Nice looking animals, will make for some great eating and the many memories to come, I have not yet made it outside the door to do any hunting, darn work keeps getting in the way, finally woke up this morning and said I need a day off! Planing a nice walk out the back door this evening, one of those banner days for hunting in the rockies!

Nice looking animals Aspeck: I'm not quite breaking the 10th commandment yet, but close. We had a nice section of freezer with Elk in it last year ... mmmmmmmm

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Another good day ... group got another 5X5 bull and a nice 3x4 mule deer. A nice bull was wounded late in the day, but since it is as cold as it is we will get him in the morning and and try to get our youngest (18 year old) hunter a shot at something ... his dad took the shot at the bull tonight instead of letting son shoot, and that is the way it has been all week.

Anyway, there have been 8 of us hunting and 4 of us have accounted for all the "head gear".

Re: Colorado Elk ....

OK I look forward to hearing from you, i will be in Boulder (North of Denver) tomorrow from 9am on so hopefully we can meet up somewhere if you guys have time. How many tags do you guys have left?

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Lipp, we are not gonna tag out ... could have come close if some shots had been made or even taken, but we have 10 animals down and 11 tags left. Several of the guys wouldn't shot a cow because the were waiting for a bull, and that if fine, even though they had both a cow tag and a bull tag. The dad of the 18 year old agreed to let him shot anything legal this AM and we want that wounded bull this morning also. If we can get those 2, we will be happy.

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Yep, made it home safely. Only a little snow in PA by the time we returned. Lipp got to see our "portable butcher shop" and the bones we collected in CO. Had a great hunting trip and glad I got to meet Chris as well.

Hey Chris, we gotta work on a hunting trip together sometime ... either in CO or PA or somewhere else!

Re: Colorado Elk ....

I still cannot believe you guys bring a mobile processing plant with you from PA!! Too funny!

I would love to hunt with you guys, you know how it is though all about the money for me to go out there!

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Couple hundred bucks round trip airfare, couple hundred bucks for the license, stay with us ...

 

[LippCJ7]

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Well right now its the couple hundred bucks!

I'm looking at a career change beginning in January, hopefully I wont be cash strapped for too long but I do appreciate the invite, hopefully I can take you up on it before to long!

Re: Colorado Elk ....

Congrats. Great to hunt with good shooters that also know their way around saws and knives.
