3 Things I would do differently on my next Elk Hunt
- Ride a horse in preparation for elk hunting before I got there ... my ass was pretty sore
- Wool, all guides and everybody in Colorado there wore wool. I will have a wool outfit next time I go elk hunting
- Gators for your lower leg (needs
to be down & hooks to your boots) ... tons of snow & these gators
were worn by the guides ... worked great
Colorado: 4x5 Elk Bull in October 2009. The Elk Hunting was tough in the
rough, high country chasing elk. Tried with a bow at first, but end of the
rut & Elk had finishing bugling. Lost 2.5 days of our elk hunt to 18
inches of snow when caught in a blizzard. It for 3 of the 6 days. It was
very hard Elk Hunting, didn't see a lot. So I thought I better shoot one
when I saw it. Really wanted to bring some meat back. My dad was trying to
shoot a cow the last day but never got a shot.
