    Colorado unit 61 early rifle

    He is 68. But I will say for 68 he is in very good shape and still pretty mobile. Has some limitations due to a broken femur way back when but still moves around well.

    Colorado unit 61 early rifle

    Yep it’s a huge bummer. From what I’ve found out before having him apply to 61 it’s more of a quality hunt unit than quality bull unit. More chance to see a lot of bulls than a lot of big bulls but the big bulls can still be found. Hoping to just give him a great experience and a good quality...

    Shiras moose taken the day after my Dad tagged out on his once in a lifetime bull moose hunt. He still shot a dandy of a moose but this guy is mighty pretty as well

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    I agree. I really didn’t mean for this to derail the thread. Just wanted to share one of my favorite hunting memories that I was proud of is all. Would love to start seeing others instead of this argument continue.

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    To each their own. However this was not guided hunting in Africa so there are different factors to consider. I can name numerous accounts of people who have left elk overnight and recovered the next day with no meat spoil or issues. We can agree to disagree. I always do the best I can to be...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    I didn’t want to risk bumping the bull by not giving him enough time after shooting. They are tough animals and even with a perfect shot with a bow sometimes it takes time. I was all alone and a ways back in so I had to get out to call for help to track and pack. I don’t like leaving animals...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    Not a single pound. Got down to 35 degrees that night and recovered first thing in the AM.

    1st Rifle Elk Colorado question

    Definitely a good strategy if you are looking for any legal bull. But I will say there have been many times I have still seen herd bulls screaming and chasing cows during first rifle season. It all depends on weather and pressure they get during archery and muzzy season. But still, find the cows...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    My second archery bull from a few years ago. This hunt was by far the most memorable hunt I’ve been on. I hunted probably 18 of the 28 days of the season and put on countless miles on foot going after bull after bull after bull only to have luck go the other way each time. On the last day that I...

    Colorado unit 61 Early rifle

    Wow what a sweet bull! That’s incredible to pick that up on the reissue list.I have been hoping to snag a quality tag off that list every year but it gets harder and harder. I’m glad guys are making the most of them when they get them! Thanks for the tip I will definitely look them up. We plan...

    Colorado unit 61 Early rifle

    Yep I am new here. I’ve been on campfire for just over a year now though. And yes my father in law will definitely be going with me to get a lay of the land and figure out what all he will feel comfortable doing. He is in great shape for his age but still has some limitations so want to make...

    Colorado unit 61 Early rifle

    Didn’t realize I posted it the first time to a deer forum so I moved it to the elk one. Rookie mistake

    Colorado unit 61 Early rifle

    My father in law finally decided to cash in on his elk points. He has been trying for 201 for 23 years but keeps getting burned by point creep. He wanted to use his points on a good quality hunt before he got too old to do so. He was lucky enough to draw unit 61 early rifle season this year. I...

    Colorado unit 61 early rifle

    Thanks looks like a great spot to find some elk. Definitely not afraid of the hard work and have done it plenty in other units just not so familiar with this unit. Only been there once but plan on taking 10+ trips this summer.

    Colorado Mule Deer 12 Preference Points GMU 53 or 54

    I don’t know much about those units but for 4th season mountain deer definitely pay attention to lower elevation and availability of public land. That can always be an issue during the late seasons. A lot of lower elevation areas are private land. Just something to make sure you look out for.

    Just another way for hunting to become a money game.

    POLL: when was the last time you went to a drive-in movie?

    Never been. Too bad they aren’t around much anymore.
