First Colorado Elk HuntMemorable Elk Hunting in ColoradoGrant Pitman will never forget his first elk hunting trip in Colorado. It was truly a memorable elk hunt.
"Our second day in we happened upon some cows and yearlings in the pines. About 8 AM. Maybe 60 yards in front of us. They slipped off into the woods." He went on, "Thinking there might be some trailing bulls we quietly held on." "Then I saw it. About 110 yards off in the aspens was this big bull. He was just standing there. Eyeing us." "Seconds later we spotted a second bull about 10 yards to the left of the first one." "I lined up my shot on the first bull, as my friend whispered 'Take the shot for crying out loud!' Grant remembered. "I squeezed the trigger and the Nosler Partition did it's job. (Maybe not the best all around elk hunting cartridge but it did the trick.) That bull elk staggered then fell. It's always a relief not to have track an animal over hill and dale. "That mount from my first Colorado elk hunt may not have been your idea of an impressive wall hanger, but it was my first", Grant reported proudly. "And it won't be my last. Elk hunting in Colorado is just an awesome experience."
