[QUOTE="GDKinCO, post: 2698896, member: 111732"] My CO muzzleloader elk hunt was in a new area for me (screwed up somehow on marking my choices on the draw so I got to go exploring!). No elk, no sign newer than spring migration, no reports of elk from other hunters. But a week in the mountains is a success no matter how you look at it, in my opinion. For 3rd rifle season for deer, a few of us hunters from church coordinate a hunt for guys, mostly dads and sons, who haven't hunted before. We're NOT guiding - we're just offering to introduce them to hunting and show them the ropes. We hunt an area in NW CO that has a lot of does. This year we had 9 hunters with tags and 5 volunteers to go with them. All 9 tags were filled this year! I was a volunteer, but also had a tag for the area, so after my new hunter filled his tag, I filled mine with a nice muley doe. Certainly not a long range shot - I belly crawled through the sage to a ridge 100 yds away from a facing ridge where she and a few others were bedded. Shooting a Winchester Mdl 70 in .308 with factory Winchester Super-X 150 gr power point SP. Factory ammo because it works well in this rifle (and I've been busy making a couple thousand rounds of 9mm and .223 ammo this summer so no time to load anything else), and the model 70 because I haven't had my recently finished Savage 6.5 CM build out to the range yet.
