[QUOTE="KYHILLJACK, post: 1009319, member: 70638"] Was rough going third season in Colorado. Weather was warm and there was no snow. Big herds were no where to be found. But my neighbor and first time elk hunter scored at 1:30 opening day. I dropped into the dark timber and he was on top of the ridge and I bumped this 5x5 and a 4x4 and a rag horn to him. The shot was 55 yards with a Browning 30.06. We were able to get the atv to within 150 yards of the site for an easier haul out. But my 2 first time elk hunters got a real taste of the altitude and stress of elk hunting. My other buddy, Doug, got sick the next day from sweating then getting cold hauling out the elk. He got bronchitis and had sinus trouble and was unable to continue the hunt. But he says he learned a lot about elk hunting. I tried to tell him about hunting at altitude but there is no substitute for first hand experience. He says he'll be more prepared next year. We were at 10,000 feet here. Good luck to all the rest of the season. I'm hunting whitetail tomorrow on opening of rifle season here in Kentucky. Going to have to put at least 6 in the freezer to make up for no elk this year.
