Was out scouting this morning for the late rifle hunt and came across a lone bull. But we heard about 10 different shots in the canyons around us. People must be having some success!

Out in 6A. It’s possible it was some joy shooting but the shots seemed fairly isolated. Usually just one at a time

I was thinking the same thing. Not that 300 is super far, but definitely not a chip shot haha

Jeez can’t imagine that happening with a suppressor. Scary times for sure. But you did a great job re-zeroing and getting everything good to go with the gun. 3 for 3 makes a great hunt! Congrats to everyone on filling their tags

Wow that is a fantastic buck! Congratulations to your daughter. And those shot groups are awesome

Thanks for sharing the story, definitely takes us along for the ride! I’m glad your patience for not shooting that spike went rewarded. That is a fantastic buck, congratulations!

That is super cool! This is pretty much my wife’s dream right here haha…elk hunting in Colorado with llamas to pack it all in and out congrats to your buddy on his first elk!

Wow congrats on getting it done at that distance! Especially when the target is a Coues. I’m sure you’ll look back on that one and be happy with the hunt

Wow that is an impressive buck!! Sounds like a great hunt, and congratulations to your wife on filling the tag!

That is a fantastic buck! How far out were you when she took the shot? Hope you’re able to find a cape. And congratulations to your daughter!

That’s great it worked out for you guys! That’s a real nice buck 😃 definitely a unique feeling known only to hunters when you’re shaking like that after a shot haha. Congratulations to you guys!

Wow that seems incredibly rare to double up like that on one group. Pretty much the only scenario I could think of is a mother with young ones or the young ones stuck together after mom cut out (which was already mentioned). Congratulations to you and your son! Super exciting and memorable for sure. And thanks for sharing the video—that was cool too

I’m not overly familiar with late hunting in 6a (though I should be at the end of the month with my wife’s tag!), but based on late hunting I’ve done in unit 1 and 27, elk didn’t tend to move too much until December unless there was a lot of snow. Like PRDATR said, they should be in the same spots you’ve been hunting/seeing them even in those temps

That is so freaking awesome! Super excited for you and your daughter! So happy you guys were able to tag out. I’m sure it was awesome seeing the excitement from your daughter! And kudos to Kev on helping you tag out, he’s always been great to me with advice and help. Congratulations all around

Ok guys, forgive me because I am COMPLETELY new to the process of getting an animal taxidermied. Fingers crossed, my wife will fill her tag in the late bull hunt. She is very excited about the tag, and if she ends up getting a decent bull she would love to do a shoulder mount. I’m sure there is a thread somewhere on this site that addresses this already, but do you guys have any suggestions on a trustworthy and decently priced taxidermist to do the job? Also, if the bull ends up being smaller or broken, she is considering doing a euro and getting the hide tanned. I can probably do the euro myself (I did one last year), but any suggestions on who might do a good job tanning a hide would be great! I appreciate any recommendations you can provide! John

That is a great buck for any day! Way to stick with it and glad you were rewarded for all your head work!

Seems like you guys put on a great stalk! Congratulations on the successful hunt

Geez, I’ll say so!!

Dang I’m surprised he made it that far too! Nice job getting it done on a cool buck

Congrats on the first buck! I bet it was a great time getting to make those memories with your family

His right side reminds me of a moose antler for some reason. Congrats on a nice buck!

That’s awesome Stanley! Way to go! Sounds like a good time with friends and family. And congrats to everyone else who tagged out so far. Good luck to everyone else still grinding

Good luck out there! Sounds like it’ll be a great hunt. Keep us posted how you do

That’s awesome! Congratulations on tagging out. Have any photos of the hunt?

That buck is incredible! And he definitely earned it. My guess is 114! Congratulations!
