    Anyone do any hunting?

    Was wondering if there are any hunters out there and if you had any luck this year yet.

    Yes.

    Elk down in september w/ muzzleloader.
    Whitetail down in november (Missouri) with archery.
    Late antelope hunt this coming weekend with rifle.

    I am primarily an archery hunter although you would not know it by the rundown.

    Been hooked on calling coyotes over the last year also. Three down this month.

    I will chase rabbits over the next month or two as time permits also.

    Ah! Awesome! Was the elk a bull or cow, whitetail buck or doe? I like archery more too. Wont have any hunting this year or next probably unless its a late hunt.

    Ive always wanted to go coyote hunting but never knew anyone to go with or where. I have the rifle but no caller.

    I hunt everything from dove to elk. Kinda disappointed in the elk hunt this year because they were doing controlled burns in the hunt area, but it was a leftover tag so at least I got to go. Found a premier spot for white tail deer and I will be putting in for that area from now on. Pheasant are supposed to be making a comeback this year and for coyote I just use a cheap wounded rabbit call.

    There's no place like home............

    Cow and doe.

    When you are back - give a shout if you want to chase yotes. I usually let them be Mar/Apr - late Sep so they can have their pups and get them weaned and on their own but the season is all year. I have an electronic caller and mouth call so all you need is rifle and ammo (or shotgun w #4 buck).

    Got a small bull elk myself this year up in the Taylor Park area. I'm primarily a rifle/shotgun hunter, but that's cause I'm out of shape. Working on getting back into shape though, and if you do archery I can recommend one of the best archery guys in the world that lives and owns a shop locally.

    Hunted my ass off for elk and didn't see a thing. Heard they were up higher than where we were in the Meeker area. No one in our party, or any surrounding parties had anything. I think it was too warm. It was almost 70 degrees back at camp during lunch on day.

    Deer; got a really nice 10pt buck up in the Poudre. Came in around 230lbs.

    Black powder cow up in Red Feather. 1st time I ever called 'em up and chased 'em down (literally). Also did the whole thing myself...had to quarter and debone in the field to pack it out. Way fun.

    Sounds fun guys. Glad to hear most of you had some luck this year. My wife even killed a 3x whitetail back in TN.

    One of the most physically demanding things I've done...worth every second. I used to think I was a hunter, but after that experience my perspective has changed, to say the least. I went and killed the meat for my family totally by myself this year. Scouting, calling, killing, packing out an elk. You gotta try it sometime if you haven't. Very fulfilling.
