Iowabow and Stringman leave Friday for their momentous assault on Colorado elk. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am ate up with jealousy. My world is monochromatic green with envy.

Post by: Pat B on August 28, 2013, 11:58:22 pm: I know the feeling. It was this week in 2006 and 2010 that I was gearing up to head to the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado. I wish I was heading back out again.
Good luck on your hunt guys. Take lots of pics but most of all just enjoy the experience.

Post by: kleinpm on August 29, 2013, 11:04:33 am: Good luck on your hunt!

This will be my second year chasing elk with a bow, maybe I will actually see an elk this year.

Of course, this year I can drive 15 minutes and be in elk country.

Post by: crooketarrow on August 30, 2013, 08:51:15 am: Her's a biggggggggggggg help if you all are getting in the back country. Our first year we did'nt do this. But it's a must if you going to have to back out a elk or 2. RENT A PACK HORSE. Beats 2 or 3 trips packing out your elk. Exspecially if your miles and miles in the back country.

Post by: kleinpm on August 30, 2013, 05:06:25 pm: I am too cheap to rent stock. I figure as long as I can hump out an elk I will.

Besides, I have lost 70 lbs this year so I should be able to carry at least that much!

Post by: JW_Halverson on August 30, 2013, 09:45:29 pm: Iowabow called me just before he arrived where he was meeting stringman and the others. He was humming like a violin string, if I didn't know better I would say he was "tweeking". yeah, all these guys are getting high. 11,000 ft of elevation elk hunting high.

Had a great trip and saw a few elk (emphasis on few.) thoroughly enjoyed most parts of the trip and the weather was amazing! John and I took loads of pics so we will be posting those soon. Hope you do better than we did, bro. Luck right back at ya!

No tags were filled, but several birds and chipmunks were harmed in the making of this story. (John will have to fill you in on his part.)

Post by: mullet on September 06, 2013, 07:50:55 pm: Gypsum, as in Glenwood Canyon? I led the police on a chase through that canyon in 1977. Sheriff's and from three Counties and the State Troopers road blocked the Interstate. I didn't know a Triumph would corner and go that fast. ::) :D

Are you guys hunting the Flat Tops out of Meeker?
Title: Re: final prep for elk hunt NEW GAME BAG
Post by: Stringman on September 06, 2013, 09:02:06 pm: That was my first choice, but unit 24 is a limited draw unit so we went with OTC tags and hunted unit 25.
