I was wondering if anybody in Colorado had got an Elk this Rifle season. I got my very first elk on my very first rifle hunt!!! My Grandpa had shot a bull and about 30 seconds later as he was heading to his elk he seen a bear and killed it!!!! Then about 2min. after he shot his kill, my Dad and I shot the cow and calf(i got the calf) that had been with the bull. So we filled 4 tags by 8:30 opening morning!! The Next day my uncle shot a calf. We were so blessed! The day after we got home we butchered the elk and bear. Lets just say that we have a TON of meat now. I wold like to hear all of every body elses stories. We were hunting in Pagosa Springs.

Awesome outing! Congratulations. I took my first deer this year, during archery season. 16 yrd shot - dropped her where she stood. Field dressed, skinned, butchered, de-boned, and ground meat all on my own. Friends guided me, but work was done by yours truly. Just finished drying 20 lbs of jerky. Cooking the loins this weekend with a couple friends. Once again, great hunt.

OK...I can see killing a buck for the rack (if it was an older trophy rack), and the cow for meat (IF it didn't have a calf)...but killing a calf? I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that one. And the bear...was it attacking? If not, why kill it? For the sake of killing? I used to hunt...enjoyed it, too. But I ate what I killed.
Don't kill it just because you can. That's sick.

i don't think you should have killed all those animals...especially the calves
