Kirk Colburn Elk Adventure

My friend Kirk Colburn just got back from New Mexico and they got some nice bulls, here is the scoop, "My season kept going with guiding a New Mexico Muzzleloader elk hunt with Black Mountain Outfitters. Brent was my hunter from North Carolina and we had a good time together. The hunting was tough for the first couple days with 60 + MPH winds and rain. Then the weather changed to 23 as the low and got cloudy then clear. We were on elk everyday, but the rut was winding down an most of the big bulls were not vocal and did not have cows. I glassed the bull up the Brent Shot on Tuesday morning a mile from where we were glassing. We stalked in over there and I got Brent in position at 188 yards. The bull came out and brent made a great shot. This bull has a lot of character, he has a bronken 5th after 2 inches on his right side, but has an extra 2 inch point next to his fifth and a 10 inch kicker off his fourth on the same side. It should be noted that this bull was seen by another guide George Garcia 3 days earlier 2 miles away. When all is said and done, the bull ends up gross scoring 358" with the broken fifth. It was a great hunt and quite a bull. In the group photo with Brent's Bull is Brent, myself, Rod, and George Garcia Jr. and Sr. The last photo is Brent on the left with his bull, Jeff in the middle with his bull, and Keith on the right with his inline 7x7 that grosses 350" he was guided by Colton Bagnoli."
