Sep 19, 2022, 3:09 PM

Parker McCollum’s music career has seen a meteoric rise over the last few years, nut his best days are still probably ahead of him. As a hunter, he may have just reached the peak right here in Colorado.

Parker recently spent three days hunting at Aught Six Ranch, which is in southern Colorado about 21 miles south of Westcliffe at the southern end of the Wet Mountain Valley on the eastern side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

The country star didn’t just leave Colorado by filling his tag, he took down a MASSIVE 12-point bull elk on his last day. He posted a photo on Instagram and called it the “bull of a lifetime.”
