Following are pics of my Colorado archery elks hunts of 2001 & 2002.

The assault team about to pack in for 9 days (early Sept2001):

First year, after a bedded group winded me during midday, they thundered past about 40 yards. A younger legal bull got left behind,

walked by me about 10 yards, had me pinned down. Then here comes a cow,

trotting to catch up, about 20 yards away, my shot hit this tree!

Elk trails!  This area was loaded, about 3 times I was within

striking distance of animals, always something kept the shot from happening.

The assault team for Sept2002 is down by one member, Len couldn't make it this time.
