That awesome!! Congrats on the Bull and a great trip!!

Absolutely perfect .....congrats

Congrats!

What part of the state you in?
Are you north of Craig by any chance?

Nice. Very impressive.

Thanks everyone! It truly was an awesome trip! My girls have an absolute blast being out there. I suspect we'll continue to make the Colorado mountains an annual vacation even if I forego chasing elk. It's lots of hard work and requires quite a bit of luck to shake hands with one of these. I had this one in my face at 35 yards just absolutely screaming at me. It was like no other experience. If you like hearing spring gobblers, multiply it times 1,000!! Even better, the pack out was just over half mile. One of the easiest yet.

Northwest wrangler, I will say I was in the southwest part of the state. I don't even tell my best friends what unit I hunt. LOL

Now for some more bragging pictures... (if you look closely at the last picture you will see a grouse in the Aspen that my 3-year-old was putting a stalk on).

Nice trip, congratulations!

Awesome all the way around! Great way to incorporate the family in the trip.

My buddy also punched is muzzleloader tagged out there as well. A decent bull that will put a lot of meat in the freezer.

Awesome Amazing hunt

The winter of 2022-2023 pretty much killed off about 90% of the elk and deer in Northwest Colorado and Southwest Wyoming. You have to go south of interstate 70 where the winter kill was not nearly as bad.
