MrAlpineArcher, its only retarded if you don’t hunt hard enough to find more elk and I don’t get how passing a few other bulls is greedy? Each hunter has there own goals and reasons they are in the woods each and every year and the big ones eat just as good as all the others, so why not chalenge yourself every now and then… Thanks for watching..!!!
haha nice orange camouflage!
At first I was going to say you didnt gut it after sitting for a day but I see the placement of the pine shrub moved some around 3:15 and it was clear it was planted to hide the belly zipper. Nice job
Sorry if this is a stupid question but oh well. How do you guys get the elk back up the ridges after you kill it? Seems difficult.

We cut the animal into quarters and pack it out in our back packs
Yes we have to wear orange
7mm short action
Lets call it what it is, a guided hunt. Here in Co. you must wear orange vest and hat. There are no exceptions on public land! There is no guide, that would risk their job, to guide someone with just an orange hat on. This means, it is either private land and/or a ranch! Im guessing a ranch with seeing multiple bulls in 1 day. I am a Co native and am an avid elk hunter for the past 24 years and you would be amazed by the videos I see that say it is public land, when it is not. I just lmao!
Steve, did you watch the video? While she was hunting, she was wearing the proper orange required. It wasn’t until the next morning when we hiked in to pack the bull out that she was only wearing a orange hat (and not packing a rifle). The area we hunted is a draw unit not an over the counter unit and we where hunting on public land whether your 24 years of experience believes it or not. Why do you try to tear down other peoples achievements? Kris is an acomplished huntress so I’m the one LMBO!!
Where did you go hunting? I just got done getting elk on 62 near Olathe. I had a either sex tag, we come accros a heard of about 50 head of elk amazingly at 6 AM and we were shooting out of a pickup truck with rfiles for the bulls. I accidently shot a spike above 5 inches and shot a legal cow haha.
Are you…are you serious? D:
It is required by state and/or federal hunting regulations. Besides, the Animal wont see you during rifle season if you are a decent hunter. Archery season is a different game, however.
Or have a BBQ right there! Sorry, coudn’t resist.
Just as a point of observation you said at 11:59 that you gutted the bull last night. How come you didn’t skin the bull and hang it in game bags in trees? My experience has been that it is always best to do this so that the meat is give a chance to cool. Either way congrats on a nice bull!
nmelkhunter1,
Thanks for watching our video. To respond to your question, this hunt was a third season Colorado hunt which takes place the first week in November and the temps were in the single digits at night, so there was no worry of the meat going bad. Had it been earlier in the year or warmer, we would have quartered and hung the bull in the tree’s or just packed it out that night like we have done on other hunting trips.
Makes sense. Just thought it was warmer than that. Again, congrats.
I looked at the area where Weimer hunting camp guides in, and this video is 100% believable. I have hunted the area and the adjacent area (over the counter area) for 22 years. I have only hunted the area where I believe this video was shot, twice as it takes 7-8 years to get a tag for third season. You see multiple groups of elk with bulls everyday (if you get off the roads). The 400+ yard shot is all up to the hunter or huntress though.
Was this up by Cortez, Colorado?
Very Nice, Congrats on your Bull.
Notice how he said he hired someone to guide them. This means that he personally went out of his way and CHOSE to have someone help them. Listen next time…
Black, you ever get an elk on your own, specially a bull. Bulls are very smart and even a guide can’t predict their movement. This is private land, I promise you!
Denali Scoular, it was west of Montrose, CO
Thanks Brian.
