Really enjoyed your story and the pics....Thanks for sharing your hunt with us!

Sounds like you were into them the entire trip, and that's more than a guy can hope for.  Sometimes it comes together, but more often not.  Either way, success was your's!  Thanks for taking the time to tell a great story and share the pictures - I enjoyed every minute!

Great hunt, thanks for sharing!  Sounds like the Rockies in the Fall.

appreciate the story telling and pictures!  thanks, dan

Awesome pic's, beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.

Blackdog,
I used to stomp around that area when I went to college in Alamosa (close to Antonito), great country as I long to return there.  Your hunting trip reminds me of my own four days of hunting here in Idaho, lots of close encounters but no meat.  
What I like to hear is that you still had a great time eventhough no elk were killed.  This confirms to me that you have your priorities in order, the journey is more important than the destination.
Next year I hope you may savor the flavor of your well deserved Elk.
Bill

Congrats nice story beautyful country never been in South Colorado.Felix

Al Kidner, I read about your hunt and enjoyed it. Sounds like you had a good trip also.

 Kenny M, you know I thought about taking something to write on, but didn't. I probably did leave out half the story, ha. Wouldn't have mattered anyway as we were always chasing elk, eating or sleeping. Not much down time.
