I’ve decided to do something a bit different for this post then previous ones that went over my hunts.  On this trip, I actually kept a journal while out in the field and I think it turned out pretty neat.  I might end up doing this a lot more in the future, just because of the genuine point of view that it offers with the play by play perspective.  This was not only my first out of state hunt, it was my first archery elk hunt, along with my first extended backpack hunt.  My brother and I packed into the Colorado backcountry for a week in hopes of making some awesome memories and arrowing my first bull.  We ended up doing both…..technically.  Enjoy.
