    Colorado GMU 49

    All, Got back from our ML hunt last week Sunday. We had great weather (we showed up after the snowstorm), almost too nice, and elk were nearly everywhere we looked. Areas where we didn't find them other guys we talked to said they had seen elk there either before or after we checked the area...

    Elk .... Let's see them!!!

    My first and only bull, so far... 2004 Unit 55 Colorado muzzleloader. Watched him work his way out above timberline with a herd of cows the night before and back into the timber in the morning. Hunted my way up during the day then waited for the herd to work their way up to timberline in the...

    I'll do that, thanks. I'll be turning the big 50 a couple weeks after this hunt so hopefully it'll be a good birthday present to myself.

    Well.... I only have one bull under my belt, I don't need a 300 but I certainly want more than a raghorn.

    Colorado GMU 49

    Watched it several times already, figured out pretty quick where it was by their general description of where they were going and recognized where they were pointing on the map. Got me fired up with all the elk they saw.

    Colorado GMU 49

    Maybe I can revive this thread instead of starting a new one. My buddy and I drew muzzle loader tags in this unit for this fall. So far from all the e-scouting I've done and calling the DOW, our plan is similar to what @Walkitoff had lain out, except for having llamas. We were also looking at...

    Unit 24 Colorado 2020

    Hunted first rifle season right near there just a couple months ago, camped by Ripple Creek Pass. First rifle is a draw but we picked up leftover tags, they may not even have sold all of them so it's not really "limited draw". Saw lots of other hunters in the area that season. I did lots of...

    CO Unit 12 First Season Update

    Just got back from hunting Unit 12 for the first time. We camped near Ripple Creek Pass on road #8 intending to hunt an area with fewer trails than farther west in the unit. On the drive in last Friday we saw camps set up all along 8. Others said there will be lots of hunters here, but I've...

    Colorado Units 12/24

    Since I didn't draw the tag I wanted..., I got a 1st season bull tag for the conglomerate of units containing the Flattops Wilderness. I haven't hunted this area before but by reading previous posts it looks like there are lots of hunters. One question I have about hunting this area is if...

    Kerosene for heat?

    I contacted Mr. Heater and was told that my big buddy heater may not work at the elevation we camp at due to the low oxygen shut off system.

    Kerosene for heat?

    We have used a wood stove for tent heat in the past but it always burns out during the night, plus I'd rather hunt than find dry wood to cut and split. I emailed Mr. Heater about their buddy heaters and was told they may not work at 9-10,000 feet altitude because of the low oxygen shut off...

    CO Unit 49 muzzleloader bulls

    A buddy and I are hoping to draw this unit with 12 points this year. We have some experience in other units and have debated whether or not we are wasting our time and points hunting a new unit. With this being a LE unit, how is the hunting pressure? Is there enough pressure to push the elk...

    Unit 49 Co elk

    Hoping to draw a muzzleloader bull tag in this unit (49) with 12 points this year. Have hunted in 55 several times, 54 once and 33 once and have actually managed to kill a few so I have some experience with elk. I have read/been told in the past there are more elk on the Fairplay (east) side...
