Update: I had a blast in the unit and hunted hard all 5 days. Came close a couple times on some really nice bulls. Got busted by the shifting winds. The elk stayed really close to to thick timber and rarely in the open. I thought we had a good campsite but when Friday rolled around, so did the...
16C is a great place. Very thick timber and has lots of elk sign. I drew another bull elk tag this year in Unit 17 muzzleloader for October. Another journey ahead, time to do my internet homework and phone calls.
Looks like I got lucky again. I drew a New Mexico unit 17 bull elk muzzle loader tag Oct. 14-18th as my third choice. I have lots of research to do and learn more of this area. Online scouting and internet time ahead. If anyone has any information of the area, please send me a pm. Thank you.

Oh, on our travels back home we were discussing and planning next year hunts. Crazy huh, just got done with an awesome hunt and already planning for the next trip. Thinking antelope, mule deer, or elk in Wyoming or Colorado??? I'm hooked on elk hunting no doubt, but I just love being outdoors...
Cedahm,
Thanks for the information, and I appreciate it.
Its getting close and I'm 16 hours away. Going in blind and will have a day or two to pre scout the area. Set up base camp and hike around. Should be a great hunt all in all .
Thanks... I can't wait to elk bull hunt this year. Super pumped as this is my first bull hunt. I get it, most guys dont want to give much details about the unit. I'm not look for good hunting spots, just for looking general information of the area.
