I usually draw a cow tag for Second Rifle in Colorado and add an OTC bull tag. I am therefore hunting after the rut. I carry an Original Cow Talk call. I use it sparingly when I'm making noise moving through black timber and have used it to stop moving elk.

Good comments, Aspenbugle. I've hunted elk in Colorado since 1975. It was much more crowded and crazy on public ground then than now. Our group seems to dial in along about Wednesday of Second Rifle. Many of our party can just make that one season, so we try to find areas to hunt elk and deer...

I've hunted various game with .177 pellet, .22, .22 Hornet, .243, .270, 30-30, 30-06, .300 Win Mag, .32 Special, .338 Win Mag, .375 H&H, 45-70 Gov't., .410, 20, 16 and 12 gauge since age 8 years old, mainly in Texas, Colorado and Wyoming. I've lived in and hunted Colorado continuously since...

I think the .338 Win Mag is probably the best dedicated elk caliber for where I hunt in Colorado. That said, during 2nd and 3rd Rifle seasons I carry a .300 Win Mag because I'm hunting deer and elk. We hunt a great combined area. Not having seen the gun and scope your friend has for sale it is...

I'd advise you to not come to Colorado, just hunt around where you live. That goes for everyone. Leave the elk here for just me! HA! Seriously. Everyone has posted some pertinent facts The sum of which leave you with what we go through every year trying to figure out our draw applications...

I hunt here in Colorado and while a have a few different calibers for different applications, the gun that does it all for me is a .300 Win mag. I've taken elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and coyote with it. I think it is one of the most versatile cartridges around
