This was my first ever ELK HUNT, and was a truly an amazing experience. Kudos to the Guides and staff at Bar K ranch for taking such great care of us, our guides were knowledgeable and truly dedicated to our success. Our expedition to Colorado was filled with majestic mountain scenery and great weather. The weather was also great for our days in the field with lows in the upper teens and sun splashed afternoons in the 40s. I did not know how I would react to being in the Mountain air and at 7500 feet of elevation, handled it better than I thought. However, climbing the mountain for my glassing area was definitely a daily challenge. Truly an amazing Father- Son experience, witnessing my son Josh in his glory of hunting and being in the outdoors. A special thanks to Jerry and Lee for all of their insight and past Elk Hunting experiences to prepare me.
Spending time with family is truly a blessing. I was not prepared for the long days in the field leaving the lodge at 6:15 and returning back to camp at 7:30ish eating around 8:15 and going to bed at 9:00PM. Would have been nice to have more time to reflect and chat about each hunter’s day. Overall, this trip was an amazing and fulfilling experience that will be remembered and discussed for many years to come. A special thanks to Jerry for documenting our daily experiences and for the fellowship with all involved. Although I did not get an opportunity to eye witness a Bull Elk, I did see ELK each day, about 900 yards away, truly an amazing animal.
