Colockum Rifle
« on: June 16, 2023, 06:55:53 AM »
My dad drew Colockum rifle, the later tag.  This is the first time he has been drawn for quality elk so he is super stoked.  Can't wait to get up there and start chasing elk.  As always, I will post the stories so people can follow along!

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

My dad finished up his hunt and we had a great time.  We scouted and hunted hard and the hunt definitely lived up to our expectations.   I appreciate all the help people gave us, and I would be happy to share info in the future.  My dad shot his bull on Wednesday evening after passing on quite a few bulls that were smaller.
