[QUOTE="mobenzowner, post: 1206338, member: 94161"] Very good advice. Hope you get at minimum some activity this year. I have been elk hunting in Colorado twice in my life(I'm in Missouri). I was very fortunate to have had a friend/business acquaintance who had lived about 20 years near Steamboat Springs. He still owns a condo there and a nice hunting cabin in the mountains near Hayden. Funny part of that hunt is there were 3 of us Missourians and we were told to expect to see elk as were were hunting on about 4000 acres of private property. My biggest fear was the other 2 guys getting elk, and me not. I say that because we are pretty hard on each other in regards to ribbing etc. Well as it turns out 2 of us did get elk and one didnt. They guy that was oldest, less capable of a shooter, and most overweight and unable to stalk killed a nice 6 X 6 first. He is a fly by the seat of his pants guy and I had been pouring it on him for months prior that he better practice shooting,hiking etc. He put it on me pretty hard and I was feeling a lot of pressure. I was lucky enough to kill a smaller 5x5 the next day. On the flight home Jimmy(who got the 6x6) looks across the plane aisle and my other buddy Bob is reading an ebook on a kindle. Jimmy asked Bob, "what book you reading? How to kill an elk." Sure was glad I got mine. [/QUOTE]
