I have chased Colorado elk for 4 years and it came together this year for a great Public Land, DIY hunt. I took an awesome 6x6 with a muzzle loader. I have never been as excited on a hunt as this one. Shot it at 6:30pm and got back to camp with the first load at 3:00am. Worth every minute of it.
There are no bad days hunting elk, some are just better.
