I'll start by saying I've been blessed with an amazing elk season(s).
September archery season yielded my best bull to date. Fast Fwd to public land 2nd season Colorado and 4.5 days of HARD hunting (WAY too warm and lots of pressure). Hunted HARD and hardly saw sign of an elk, including a 14 mile day hike through canyons, draws, timber, creeks.....you name it. Then, on the morning of the last day this fella shows up with 2 of his buddies. Go figure?!?! Not a sign of elk for DAYS and then I have 3 in my scope at once! (2-5x5's and a nice 6x6) At that point in my hunt I was dropping whoever gave me the best opportunity. He fell in his tracks @ 300yds to the 7mm Rem Mag.
When people ask "Where do you find elk?"....I Always say...."Elk are where you find them." It's so true.
Blessed and thankful to have good friends to hunt with and for mother natures bounty.
