Colorado elk hunt
 

Just back home from an elk hunt in north-central Colorado. Except for the lousy weather and the slow maid service at the hunting lodge...it was a pretty good hunt. My bull scored 453 SCI inches and my buddy's scored 417 SCI inches.

Wow! Nice Bull Steve. Give us some details of the hunt. How does the SCI scoring work? That ranks right up there with one of the best ever for that state. Do you know how it would have scored B & C?

Looks like I am going to miss this years deer hunting opener and this will be the 1st time in many years. Seems I am going to be in Vegas having a good time. Now start telling us about your hunt! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Sierra Club and Boone and Crockett. I cannot speak for SCI but B&C is an organization that among other things scores animals based on a set of guidelines and for rifle hunting versus the Pope and Young for bow hunters.

lol...it's actually "Safari" Club. "Sierra" Club would take issue with hunting of any kind for any reason.

"lol...it's actually "Safari" Club. "Sierra" Club would take issue with hunting of any kind for any reason." Duh! Whoops, you are sooooo right. Sorry bout that.


In comparison, the World Record Elk taken in Upper Arrow Lake, BC scored 465 2/8 for a non-typical Elk so Steves is not too far off though I believe SCI scores higher than a comparable B&C. Bottom line for any Elk hunter.............nice fricken Elk! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

As an example, the Sierra Club would scream at this while the Safari Club would score you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Bet it's a job to field dress one of those big fellows. Do you qtr it out to haul out on horses/mules? Any trouble with bears when they smell the kill? Where'd all those Elk steaks go? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
