Watch as we follow our friend, Dan Burzon, during his 2-year quest to harvest a Colorado archery elk. Dan has multiple heart-pounding encounters before he’s ultimately blessed with a monarch bull of a lifetime. Along the way, you’ll learn how to get in close to rutting bulls, and discover how bull elk react to cow calling and scent. This hunt takes place on the free-range Vermejo Park Ranch, a premier elk hunting outfitter.
When hunting in southern Colorado in mid-September, the weather is unpredictable. It can be 35 or it can be 80 degrees. You can be at 7,000 feet or at 10,000 feet. The HuntStand Hunting app helps me choose the right clothing to wear, and decide how heavy my daypack will be with extra clothing. Heavy packs are the killer of a fat boy in the mountains!
