If it's legal and it's what I want! Then I'll shoot it and take it home and eat it! enough said. What your buddy things is not my problem!
Heck, the last time I hunted OTC Archery elk in Colorado, I harvested a nice fat cow with my longbow and was sure glad to get her. A few seconds after releasing the arrow on the cow, I had a 5X5 bull Bugle in my face at less than 12 yards.
Was I upset that I didn't hold out for a bull? HECK NO, I can't eat the horns and cow meat is wonderful.Last edited by Flint knapper; 02-02-2019, 07:09 PM.

Ive been on 3 OTC Colorado elk hunts..Ive seen one decent bull in 3 trips and he was a mile away.. OTC hunts are managed for opportunity.. Elk hunting is hard..
That said now that I have killed a decent bull the size of bull I am willing to shoot changes with the distance I am from the truck.. 1 mile in, any legal bull.. 3 miles plus it better be a **** good bull haha

I told a hunting friend about this and said I expect it to be so challenging that any legal bull would be an accomplishment for me. This sent him off the rails. He thinks this is the problem with hunting today - people “just killing something to check a box and not holding out for a mature trophy animal”. My perspective is I understand that and mostly agree as it pertains to deer hunting like we do in Texas, but this situation is very different. He thinks it’s no different. So, what are your opinions on the matter?

I have gone on several OTC Colorado archery elk hunts and have never killed one. They are still my favorite hunting experiences. We always backpack in and it is a major challenge. Any legal bull would be great! I actually have a story about one of the hunts on the Extreme Outdoors page of my hunting/fishing website. Check it out. It's called Nine Nights in a Bivouac. texasdeerandbass.com

I get where he’s coming from but don’t think he understands where I’m coming from
