Just thought I would share pics of the two bulls I shot last month here in Colorado and Arizona.

I started my CO archery hunt on Sept. 15th, with some real excitement....passing a 350" bull at 6 yards just 15 minutes into the hunt. I had numerous opportunities at 320" - 340" bulls, but wasn't interested and then on day 3 I had the one I was looking for at 49 yards....a 6x7 that was roughly 385" - 390". He and the other bulls were so rut crazed that I could never get him to stop where I had a clear bow shot - and finally he just trotted off with the other bulls, chasing a hot cow. The 4th morning I looked for him again, but just couldn't find him. I did however run across the bull pictured below, and thought he was too good to pass at 46 yards. He's 364", and the other bull pictured is my buddy's bull from the same hunt - 392"!!! Colorado does in fact have big bulls!






My second hunt was slated for Arizona, starting on Sept. 30th with a rifle. We had a trail cam pic of the bull I took on the first day, but we honestly under judged him by a fair bit. I thought he was at maximum, 380". Turned out he was 402", a very pleasant surprise - and a 30 year desire to shoot a 400" bull had finally come true! He was the only bull I saw, but we hunted only one day - shooting him at sunset, no more than 80 yards away!

Dang Aaron,
That's a Hell of an Elk Season. Looks like just the one pic is up so far. Sounds like both hunts were just incredible

Congrats on some real brutes!!!

I was just talking with Aaron on the phone and said the fifth point of his AZ elk looks damn near as long the 6th!! What a monster.

Congratulations, really great looking bulls.

Congrats, Aaron - those are great bulls!

Them, they were giants. Very nice bulls Aaron, very nice.

As usual

Aaron, you get it done !!!

Congratulations on two awsome bulls

Both of those are "dream" bulls for 99.9% of the hunting world
