Made it this year. Taken about 1 1/2 hours after leaving the cabin.
Total time between getting picked up at cabin to skinned out in the barn, 3 hours. Shortest season ever for me.

Had to settle for some of these guys for a couple of days.

Both taken with a 300PRC.

That’s a nice cow.  Pretty big prairie dog gun, but I guess you gotta dance with who you bring.

My bud has been up in the Uncomphgre with some other guys.  They had a good season too, all cow tags filled.

They had some nasty pack outs tho.

That looks cold and exhausting. You earned your elk. We drove up to mine and loaded it directly into the truck.

Brother I am a 40 something season elk veteran.  Lots of years I would get 2 hunts, Archery + rifle cow.
Last couple years, my wife’s health has gone to hell so I mostly live vicariously through watching others hunts.  

We have pretty good hunting within a couple hours too.

Lemme see if these will load properly, not sideways.

This is a guy I hunted with and he is also a huge elk fan.  We are both mid 60s, he is in the sideway pic too, helping his friend pack..

Here, he is helping another guy who drew a unit 62 muzzle tag last year.  Brutal pack. Huge elk.




I’ve been in on a few of those in the past.   Truck load elk are a true gift.  Enjoy yours!

We have a second cow in there quartered.   CPW guy helped us with the whole one lol.

I can appreciate a successful hunt but being 'done' 3 hours on your first day isn't quite the experience I'd be looking for to spend a few thousand to shoot a cow.

Walk me around the mountain for a few days, then take me to the honey hole.

Nah, I’d rather smoke one early.  Then move on to grouse and fishing.

Thread resurrection time.
Put in again this year and was drawn again. Middle of November I will be out looking for another easy elk. Will also be going after prairie dogs and maybe trout when not hunting.
Can't wait!

Good luck man!  Well, you are already lucky just going.  I’m gonna be stuck home most likely. 2 hours from elk country.
I may start drinking again😄Attached File

Is that an elk rub? I have seen plenty of deer rubs but never an elk. That is huge.
