RE: Colorado Elk Hunt

What a great day to be out in the woods. Now, I'm really glad I brought the crossbow. Wouldn't be shootin' bunnies with my cowboy gun. When I was in the blind, I couldn't believe how warm I felt, lying on my bed of fir branches in the full sunshine. It could have been spring here. I followed more rabbit tracks to see if I could get 2. I saw a few more and got one other shot. It got fur but no blood. I'm not sure where that shot hit the rabbit, but there was some fur where the rabbit used to be. The bolt hit the rock behind the rabbit and broke a steel blunt tip completely in half.
On my hike out, I spotted some elk that were also on private land that I can't hunt. At least I saw some today. This was a great hunt for me even though I didn't get a shot at an elk. I really appreciate you guys coming along. It was fun being able to sit around the cyber campfire and tell stories about what happened after each hunting day. 2 rabbits don't quite fill the freezer like an elk, but who can complain when you hunt in country like this?
