My last bull in Colorado took 9 hours de-boned the whole thing and split it between two people.6 miles and 1500 feet in elevation to get out of "the hole".

Nice looking bull though.

Here is mine.

Shot this one this year. Drove the truck to it and loaded it whole with a come-along and fourwheeler ramps.
Total time was about 30 min to get it loaded

Nice bull!! The hard work of getting those dudes out just adds an exciting and painful element to hunting 'em. You're probably not familiar with the GDF rules this being your first post but when you post a successful hunt you are supposed to include the GPS coordinates of where you found 'em...or if you're in Utah post the crossroads of the intersection you shot it at!!

Right behind that brown building on the corner in the vacant lot but please don't let anybody else know where I shot it

I even wore camo so I would blend into my truck seat covers. It's awful hard sneeking up on them when your diesel engine is idling so dang loud. I made an extremely hard shot. Shooting from a half rolled up window and trying to clear my side mirror. Wish you coulda seen it, you woulda been impressed

Anywho now back to ground pounding chukars off guzzlers. Gotta love hunting in Utah!

Looks like a great time. I've wanted to get out west and shoot an elk for years now, life just keeps getting in the way. Oh and
The cost.

I posted it because Id been telling the guys in the live chat about it. It was a ton of fun; even though I didnt shoot him. I sure had to help with the rest of the work though. I'm impressed with all the other posted here. Nice work!

Nice bulls everyone..still want to elk hunt one day only 4 tags a year here so not good odds

ultracarry · Post by **ultracarry** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 12:23 pm

You bring the horses and ill show you where were goin...... over the counter tag in south west Colorado. I hate walking out with 125 pounds in my pack. it would be easier to throw it on a mule or horse. I would even pack my shotgun for the 30+ grouse you see a day also:)

Elite GTO.. greatest killing machine ever made! If you make the change to Elite you won't go back.

My wife took her first big game animal last week. He's not a monster, but a great first elk. My wife worked her but off for him and was so excited. The horses had quite a job getting him out

I can see your green with envy....

Not many manufactures can make a 7" brace height bow that shoots 350 lol. I sold the bow to my friend and he bought 2 more, a synergy, agile, and gave my bow back as a present... you can't have just one. I also have a Z28.

Here is my 6X6 from this yr. Not a monster but I'll take him. Took me forever to finally get that dang 6X6 this was my 16th elk, but I finally got my 6X6

codym · Post by **codym** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 8:01 am

My bow smokes for a recurve 196 fps

only bow I have hunted with since mid 80's, it doubles as my 3D, Field Archery, Bow Fishing bow etc.

196 is smoking for a recurve. I like to make long shots in the Arizona desert........
