  • Good afternoon, I saw some of your posts about unit 81 and I was wondering if I could PM you a few questions. I appreciate your help.

    Hi there, I just now saw your message to me here, as I haven't logged in here for awhile. Feel free to message me here, but I'd definitely see it more timely if you emailed it to: "[email protected]"
    Good evening sir, reading some post and notice you’re willing to give some advice. I’m a disabled veteran. Taking my dad hunting in Colorado this year. Typically we hunt Idaho. Have 3 horses with plenty of trail experience. All the gear for base camp. I know nothing about Colorado. So far on gohunt unit 78 has caught my eye due to a large burn and only horse trailheads. I’m hoping to get way back

    Hi, Unit 78 is on the other side of Wolf Creek Pass, and I know very little about hunting in that area. I know that where it abutts GMU 76, it might be wilderness area, and of course 76 is the coveted trophy area in this area that takes many preference points to draw a tag there. I primarily hunt GMU 80 & 81, and more familiar with these areas.

    Thank you! I plan on going way back with the horses and getting close to unit 76
    Sorry for not replying. Getting into research for another hunt this fall. Trying to decide if gonna use a drop camp or DIY. Looking at 78 and 81 areas.
    In short, I didn't get a Bull this archery season. Sort of what happened, is that I kept seeing 3 different Bulls coming to a wallow I had a trail camera on. In that I could hunt this wallow from my home, I just did that. I was into some Elk enough hunting that area, that I opted not to venture farther from home. The wallow didn't pan out, as they never came when I was perched in my treestand there. So, I missed out on some adventures elsewhere.
    Read your posts for a hunting partner. I was in conversation with elkhunter2 earlier this year about heading out to 78, but then I had to get surgery on my knee. I've hunted 81, just South of Platoro two years ago in 81. Got into some elk, but couldn't seal the deal. How did you make out this year?
