[QUOTE="Bowhunter#18, post: 2340755, member: 118671"] On a hunt in Colorado I shot a 5 x 5 running with another bull and on its death run.It crossed a four wheeler trail and a old man sitting on his four wheeler shot the elk when it was about to fall over dead which he admitted noticing as he shot. He said he was half asleep when the first Elk went by and managed to shoot in front of the second elk.His second shot he hit the elk. After walking up from tracking the elk and hearing the shots he was standing there still shaking.After talking a little bit he insisted the elk was mine. After helping quarter the elk and loading it onto his and his sons ATVs I let his sons know that I was not taking the elk as this was his first elk and he was 74 years old. His sons managed to sneak his tag from him and tag it before we were done loading it. As we finished I told him congratulations on his first bull and he started to get choked up and try to argue with me. With a happy smile on my face I said I already have a 5x5 rack on the wall plus this one has your tag and is loaded up on your ATV’s. His sons told me that all he has ever talked about was killing a bull elk before he was to old. [/QUOTE]
