Finally Got It Done!

[Jbenson]

A buddy and I decided to burn points in Colorado this year, and I'm sure glad we did. I had the best hunt I've ever had, and finally after 13 years (I think), i put a bull on the ground. We were in screaming bulls every single day. One morning we literally had 10 or 12 bulls screaming within earshot 360 degrees around us. I think we easily heard over 200 bugles in our 6 days out. I finally found 2 small secluded areas, super close to the road, but fairly hidden and every hunter was driving right on by. Each spot held 3 bulls. After calling in 7 other bulls, I finally got this one killed at 8-9 yards on day 4. Watched him tip over at about 40 yards. Finally feel like I'm figuring these things out!

That's a great story! It's exactly the type of elk hunt every guy is looking for.

Congratulations on a nice bull. Would love to be in the middle of a bunch of bulls bugling someday.

Thanks man. I've been in bugling bulls, but never anything like that! It was insane.

I forgot to mention...the grueling pack out was a whopping 200 yards from the ranger.
