I solo bowhunted CO one year - packed in myself with a backpacked and hunted hard. I did kill a 5x5 bull, first bow elk but the hunt itsself was demanding, tough and very rewarding.

Another elk hunt that my Dad packed in with me. Another hard hunt and we both took big bulls.

The hard physical hunts are very reewarding to me, those and the hunts my Dad and I share.

Killing an animal doesn't make the hunt.
