After eating elk tags in New Mexico, Wyoming and Arizona over the last 6 years, I finally pulled the trigger on my first bull elk in Colorado. First rifle hunt. Elk weren’t talking in my unit. At least not anywhere that I was hunting. Highly likely that I was hunting places without elk until I saw my bull. He and the cow he was with were the only two elk I saw on my trip. Killed my first dusky grouse as well.

Nice ! Good job on both.
You'll figure out grouse are not that hard to take, the finding them is the hardest part, lol.
Hard to go up from a first being a 6 pt, nice bull and congrats .

Nice bull, congrats! It's addicting for sure. I didn't draw elk this year and couldn't find a LO tag to buy, but I'll be up in CO for 2nd season looking for mule deer.

Nice bull, congrats to you. Any elk is a good elk, 'cause they don't come quite as easy as the TV shows would have you believe!!!

Congratulations.


My back has a solid argument against it. At least the last two days or standing in the kitchen processing the meat.
