Just returned not long ago from my first elk hunt in Colorado. We flew out to Denver and rented a 4x4 and drove about 3 hours west to the area south of Carbondale/Glenwood Springs. We didn’t get to the area we were wanting to go until the next morning. Once we got to the areas we had marked on Onx we hiked in from our camp spot about a mile and a half to sit over a small park that overlooked a drainage for the evening. We didn’t see anything but signs of beaver and also some wallows with old elk scat. Closer to about 5-530 we had 2 cows and a calf walk out at the bottom of drainage at about 250 yards which is where we were setting up. One cow had a collar on which was interesting to see then we had a small bull with 3 on one side and only 2 on the right side come flying in pushing the cow with the collar. Since we had to have a 5 inch brow or 4 on one side, we couldn’t finish the deal with him.
