Moose Gets Elk

[Big Moose]

Here are a few photos of the bull I took this year in Colorado. I gave up elk hunting many years ago when we got rid of the horses but since we could not get deer tags this year we decided to elk hunt rather than stay home. We took four bulls out of seven of us and had plenty of meat to take home. Packing the bulls out was kind of rough on us old deer hunters. Thanks to our friends, Josh and Brook for bringing up their 5 horses and packing out two of the bulls for us.

Nice! IMHO Colorado has the best elk hunting on the planet. Lots of elk, tons of opportunity, and a good way to put meat in the freezer. I have gotten wrapped up in the trophy thing for the last several years, now I am planning a trip to Colorado to do an archery elk hunt in the next year or two.

Nice pix, and excellent story, thanks for sharing!

Nice hunt. Good bull. I tell my family that's where they'll find me dead. Under a pack full of elk meat with a smile the undertaker won't be able to get off my face.
God bless.

Looks like you had a great hunt. A little success always makes the memories a little brighter.

Thanks guys for all the kind words. It really was a fun hunt and of course lots of memories.

We hunted in the White River National Forest on public land in a area where we usually deer hunt and camped in our favorite camp spot. Guess it does not get much better than that!
