 My story should be ready to read soon under Member Articles. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. By the time most of you read this, I will be on the western slope of Colorado near Montrose in elk camp for about a week, with no electricity and certainly no computers. So basically I will be incognito and enjoying it to the max, hopefully helping my son Joe find a bull elk for him and his .308 Encore. Please wish us luck. Sincerely, Gregg

Great job! Whether with a rifle, handgun, bow, muzzle loader, whatever, that's a very nice bull. You have to play your "A" game to kill a bull like that.

Excellent story. You have a great ability to hunt and a great opportunity in the Centennial State.
I do have a good question regarding the muzzleloading pistol. I take it that Colorado does not allow scopes or red dot sights for hunting?
