After five years first Idaho archery bull and did it solo . God is so good and we’re grateful for a full freezer . Shout out to my buddy for meeting out there to help pack him out. Also shoutout to ironwills single bevels ! Broad head smoked him right in the heart quick clean kill at 30 yards .

Opening weekend double for me and hunting buddy. Called in 6 bulls within the 2 mornings of hunting. I have two kids under 3 so I can’t be too picky this year.
Shot mine at 8:00 opening morning, we called in the horses to come pack and were off the mtn by 2:30.
Went in the next morning and spotted this bull with 10 cows. Worked up to them and called this guy into 10 yards. He died 100 yards from where I shot mine the day before. Called in the horses again and we’re off the mtn at 3:30.

Opening day in CO. Shot this bull at 8:30am as he and his cows (a dozen or so) were coming down into the timber from above tree line. First opportunity of the season and it all came together. How crazy!

Can't ask for much better than that kind of opener, Congratulations! Shoulder surgery has me sidelined with a bow for a while but my friend did pretty ok opening day in Mt.

Solo Idaho Bull. I shot him 6.2m from the TH- [Never Again, getting him out about killed me]
Spent 7 days in a backpack camp. My wife and I had some crap going on at home I couldn't do over Zoleo so I had to hike out after a few days, and lost a whole day just getting to cell service.

I had a nice 5x bull jump the string on a shot with my recurve on the 3rd day....so when packing back in I switched to my compound assuming it would be another 40+ yard shot- nope, 27y....

I was staking out a wallow and at 9;30 was thinking, "Its hot and its over, what am I going to do until about 7;00" while eating a snack he came walking up a draw 10 steps from me...thankfully I wasn't rummaging in my pack and was kicking back laying almost flat. He looked at me and kept walking. when he got behind some cover I had I grabbed my bow and shot. As I was reaching in my pocket for a call to slow him down, he tipped over in sight 25y from where I shot him. Complete pass through with the good ole NAP Thunderhead.

Boned him out myself -flies were terrible...... many miles of packing, thankfully almost all downhill...... then my buddy rolled in halfway through the second day of hell and he got partway in to a motorcycle trail that saved me about 1/2 the work.

This was only the second branch antlered bull I saw in the renamed, Spike Canyon. Plus, I only had 2 other branch antler bulls on cams- my buddy hunting in another part of the unit had some big bulls on his cams and they shot a nice 5x on the 3rd day. I passed a dozen spikes- some at very close range.


I was in there pretty far reasoning the pressure would push them back to me- Wrong!.... that pressure never materialized.

I never heard a bugle until the night of 9-4 and they were screaming all around my camp- hard to sleep.

Grest bull

I leave in 1 week for the zoo. I can't wait, it's my first time going to Colorado for a hunt. Congrats to everyone on a job well done. I'm just hoping to hear some bugles while I'm there.
