Default First CO Elk Hunt

Well I just got back from my first elk hunt. It was such an awsome experience. I may have not shot the biggest bull in the mountains. I am proud of this one because it's my first. In total I saw 7 bulls, and 40-50 cows and cavles. This guy was the only one that gave me a shot.

We topped a hill and he was feeding on a hillside with some other bulls, and numerous cows. The distance was ranged at 280yds. I settled the crosshairs behind the shoulder and gently squeezed the trigger. He ran off into some dark timber. We followed it up and he only made it 50 yds. I finally had a bull down. This has been a dream for quit a while. High fives and numerous pics were given and taken then the hard work began.
