Saturday Oct. 2 will definitely go down as EPIC. I got to southern Colorado Friday morning and met my outfitter/guide Steven Martinez of Southern Colorado Outfitters. He had been watching this special buck for a few weeks. After a missed elk hunt due to Covid I posted a WTB add on I Hunt Colorado page on Facebook looking for a Last minute outfitted hunt or Voucher. That was on Sept 5. Steven got ahold of me saying he had one voucher and I would be his only Lope hunter. I felt out of the three options I had with such little time this is what I chose. Friday morning we went up to a knob about a mile from where this buck was hanging out with about 30 girlfriends. From the moment I actually laid eyes on him I knew he was very special. I ended up watching him for several hours and I knew it would be a sleepless night. Saturday morning at first light found us on top of the knob glassing up several elk, including two big bulls, several deer, including a bachelor group of five bucks, and then the group of lopes. We immediately made a plan and went after him. By 8:00 on opening day I was standing over this beautiful lope! He was shot with a Springfield waypoint in 6.5 CM at 200 yards.
