Chime in for Colorado elk reports

Went the first season 10/13-17 - back the 17th with 2 of 3 tags filled.

Both to handloaded .308 Win 165 gr Barnes XBTs at 2400 fps. One at ~25 yds & another at 100 yds - lung shots both & never expect to recover a single Barnes. I'm likin' this bullet so far.

Helpful hint = don't have an elk die in a creek. Having cold water handy to wash it & you off is nice, but at 35 deg, it does get cold after 1/2 hour standing in it.

Weather was downright warmish (except for while in the creek).
