Bull of a Lifetime
I moved sideways a few yards so I could see my dad and I could see that he had taken a shot. He turned to me and gave me a thumbs up. I worked my way over to my dad. He looked at me and said "I shot and could hear it hit him, but I'm not sure where it hit. He was BIG!!!" His hands were shaking...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
I let out two cow calls and the bull immediately responded. I quickly cut him off and screamed a bugle at him. It was a natural response on my part, but I quickly wondered if I had messed up, thinking that if it was the smaller bull, I could have scared him off. I gave it maybe 30-40 seconds and...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
It took us a few minutes to get up there due to the steepness of the hill and the rocks, forcing us to stop and catch our breath multiple times. When we got to the top, we were once again catching our breath when we heard what we thought were some cow mews. A few minutes later, a bull sounded...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
You know what they say about the best laid plans, right? Well, our original morning plan had been busted, our quick setup had been a bust, and this plan was about to join those ranks. OnX can be such a help at times, but it's also amazing how topos can be off at times, and also how you can't...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
We quickly scrambled to try to find a setup, but it wasn't pretty as the small pines on the edge of the meadow were pretty thick and left very few decent shooting lanes. We got my dad and my wife's cousin set up as good as we could and I backed off to call. Unfortunately, the thermals were going...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
Sunday morning, we threw some early morning bugles out from the same ridge as the morning before, in hopes of hearing the same bull. We also wanted to make sure that bull or a different bull wasn't in a different location. We were met with silence, so we continued with our plan and headed to the...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
Saturday evening, we also had an interesting conversation. My father said he probably only has another 1-2 years of hunting left in him. At 67 years old, he can still get around okay and is in good shape, but he felt he was slowing down and keeping us from hunting harder. He also said he would...- cohunter14

Bull of a Lifetime
I haven't done one of these writeups in quite a few years, but this one deserves the time and effort. Some background before the story: my father got me into hunting as a kid, and him and I have spent 29 of the last 30 seasons together in the elk woods, with the only season missed being a year...- cohunter14

Missing Elk Hunters in CO - Unit 81
Yes, what a shockingly sad circumstance. I think the only lesson to be learned is if you are with someone and lightning is close, try to spread out a little bit, but when the man upstairs says it's your time, there isn't much you can do about it.- cohunter14
