Outfitter Camps in CO Unit 66
Finally circling back around to this thread, but we were successful. Three tags, three days, three bulls. Was able to call a bull in for my dad and he shot him at thirty yards, which was by far the highlight of this hunt. They were still bugling which made for a fun hunt. Thank you to everyone... -

If I wasn't hunting with my dad I would take you up on that. -

Colorado Unit 66 Drought
I got back Monday and it was dry for sure. There was water up high in the lakes, ponds, and springs but very little sign around them. I would imagine it is because all the good food is dried up around those sources. I did not check lower elevations. Not sure how much snow and rain they got... -

Colorado Unit 66 Drought
Well I have officially drawn Unit 66 in Colorado for first rifle elk. which is a relieve because I didn't want to go back to square one with my E-scouting. Anyways I understand there is a drought in SW Colorado at the moment. I hunted Unit 55 on a dry year, but while hunting during the day I was... -

First Gobbles of the Year
Sunday was one of the first warm and clear mornings we have had here in Missouri, so my guess is that has a lot to do with it. Personally I think it may help me if they start breeding a little early this year. With the amount of hens I have been seeing it may be a little difficult to call one in...- Argylesox

First Gobbles of the Year
Well I have been e-scouting for a Colorado elk hunt for the past two months and sent in my application last week. Suddenly I had a lot more free time in the evenings and I wasn't sure what to do with myself. Saturday night while drinking an adult beverage on my deck after working cows the better...- Argylesox

Honest question. What is your definition of way up high? 12,000+? 11,000+? I ask because on a previous mule deer hunt all everyone said to me was they were all up high, so I went high, as in 11,500+ and it was a ghost town. Dropped in elevation for a couple days and finally found them around... -

That is exactly what got my mind to thinking about this. I saw what appeared to be a wall tent a long ways from any road. -

Off season fitness
During the winter I strictly focus on gaining strength so normal exercises (squats, lunges, curls, 5,000 types of presses, etc..) with heavy weight and low reps and little to no cardio. Once spring hits I start mixing in cardio, hikes with a heavy pack, and switch to lower weight with higher...- Argylesox

colorado Unit/GMU 14
Hunted there last year the last week of September. We talked to a lot of hunters that did not see anything or hear a single bugle. We hunted a little ways off of the road in areas where there were no trails and had a different experience. We were not covered up in them, but we heard bugles... -

Outfitter Camps in CO Unit 66
Hello from Missouri again! Planning a first rifle elk trip to Unit 66 this year. Depending on how scouting goes a few days before season I will be prepared to hike into the wilderness areas to hunt. Was wondering if anyone that has hunted the area or lives there could tell me if there are any... -

Was your strategy spot and stalk or did you try to call them?
