Ok some mo!

No elk today, but did see these two

Better look at him

This was my last and my biggest. A late CO, January hunt. This is my guide. It was so cold my camera quit working after this picture. 475 yards. 340 Wea.

Good elk medicine...

That buck makes my trigger finger itch more than the elk..
But some nice elk there..

Here is last seasons cow and the old .375 H & H.. Since our local seasons are for any elk, I usually take the first fat cow elk I see.. This was a pretty long shot for the .375..
But it worked this time..

From (all but one) past elk hunts:

My longest shot ever, 487 yards, was from here, shortly after this photo was taken. Cow elk in the freezer.


Gorgeous alpine lake:


Hunting buddy of nearly 20 years. No elk but some awesome scenery:


The day before we were literally surrounded by elk here and I took one. Then came the snow. This day, no elk, but I got my second before the trip was over.


We've taken quite a few elk out of this area over the years. I sure miss Big Red and the power of the diesel engine.


Son-in-law (right) and I skinning an antelope. The skinning rack takes only a few seconds to set up.

Son-in-law and daughter #2. A herd of elk showed up a few minutes later at the bottom of the hill.


No elk here this trip, but what a view. Bakers Peak is in the background. Another year we took three out of this general area.


Home sweet home for many a hunt.


Overwatch. Nothing like a good book to help pass the time. That and laying back in the warm sun listening to the occasional elk bugle. Got my cow at dusk the second day.

WCH and CH, hit them good; hit them hard. Cows are good.

Love those pic's.

My blue heeler Heidi. Worked her way onto 6 elk hunts. RIP.



I'd like to be that young again.



Years ago in the San Luis Valley

Near Gunnison last season



San Juan mountains above Creede



Which one is the animal?



I came back the next morning for the antlers and remaining meat to find a bear had claimed the gut pile. The blue heelers haired-up and were going crazy.


Northwest of Durango



She outdid herself when she picked this spot.

Sangre De Cristo's

Last years Backpack trip a few miles deep in the Sangre De Cristos. Absolute brutal hunt. Called in this bull from above timberline and the brother in law mad a ten yard poke.
