Sounds like it was a success to begin with to me. But doubling up on those buggers makes it that much sweeter. Did you guys camp there long? Did you bring much water with you?
Well at least she couldn't complain about it being boring😉 I'd say that hunt was pretty successful especially if you liked the way they tasted. Those buggers can really toe a line, right? Of Coarse I'd be where it's safe too if someone was trying to take a poke at me!
Thanks for the stories.
Thanks for the input guys! Like I said before a wealth of knowledge on this forum. I'm bringing the wifey with me and love to hear her complain so we'll probably hoof it quite a bit. Maybe I can convince her to camp out! Only problem is I know she's gonna make me carry the meat. At least it...
Anyone do any good in unit 16? I have a buddy that has had luck there but from what I can tell from the maps it looks like you may have to walk a bit to address the limited access. By the way the forum and the folks on here are are super!
I was wondering if it is worth getting on X maps for a hunt in which we plan to hunt west elk wilderness (unit 54). I have a topo map and there's no apparent private land where we plan to hunt.
I've been doing research on that area too, but for first rifle! Hard to get that kind of info without some scouting right? Give the local biologist a call and ask what he thinks. Let me know how you did!
Hey you guys are alright thanks for the info. My freinds and I really appreciate it. I've been working on getting in shape and getting ready to pack in. We've been focusing on the area west of West Elk Peak. Should we be worried about spoilage at that time of year?
Hi guys,
I'm an eastern hunter from PA and I've never hunted out west before. Some friends and I decided to try out Elk hunting and we drew unit 54 in Colorado. We've been told to get in there deep and find the nasty steep places big bulls like. Does anyone have any good ideas of where to start...
