Colorado elk hunt unit 14 2018

Postby unclefish » 10 02, 2018 •  [Post 1]

Well in 2 weeks I will be doing the 30 hour drive to Clark Co. Heard it has Hot and Dry there. They show that they will get rain all this week. Still looks like temps will be up during day with some colder nights. Every year brings an adventure. This one will be definitely different hunting public land for me. I am excited to try something different. Hopefully I will post some nice picks . And come home with some meat in the freezer.

Right off the bat had a big cow moose and her baby cross right in front of me. Then I guided my friend by text right to elk he just couldn't get a shot. Then he had them come in front of him pulled the trigger and nothing happened. I have made him over 50 rounds that he has already shot. It figures now I feel like shit. O well try again tomorrow. Can't believe non of us saw any mule deer

Well he got a cow elk today and the other kid got his first 5x5 bull. His second shot blew the one antler off. all I got is a massive blister on the side of my heal. That's a first same boots as last year. Maybe I am getting to old for this.

Forgot to mention 1 other guy had 2 mountain lions walk right in front him. 35 years of hunting here and that was his first. The other guy had a big black bear come up within 50 ft.

Nice job on the cow and bull. Food for the freezer. How many people do you have in your group? Duct tape those blisters

You realize doing that is illegal in Colorado, right?

Correction. I went and checked, and could not find where it says in the Oregon Big Game Regulations that it is illegal to communicate to a hunter with an electronic devise. I am just not sure now.

I am making no assumptions about the original posters motives, and it may be simple ignorance and its not fun being singled out for a mistake, I know.

However, we are all obligated to understand the game laws before hunting in any state. As a game warden said to me once: "there are not very many of them" (game laws)
