RE: Going Elk hunting- need advice on camo clothes
Cam, Buddy what they are telling you is the truth!!! I wish three years ago someone would had told me the same.We went toGMU 22 west of Meeker. Yeah I probably invested 400 dollars in camo only to cover it up.I also took down a 5X6 on opening morning only to realize I was a unprepared ROOKIE.We had taken the animal and was prepared to field dress him and drag him out like a whitetail. Heck I didn't even have a horse or ATV. Good thing my truck was only about 3/4 mile away or I would have died. It took us about 9 hours to quarter this brute with two small knives and a chopping axe.
Well after all of that mess we were so tired my best friend threw away a 500 dollar bull tag just to get out of there. We now have worked up enough courage to attempt fate one more time. We are headed back this Oct (HOPEFULLY) applications are in checks have cleared. We are taken two 4WD ATVs and a whole bunch of lessons learned for one more time.
One other note you may need to know. ELK HUNTING IS ADDICTIVE and Colorado is probably the most beautiful state I have ever seen.
