I archery elk hunted unit 76 in 2020 with an outfitter on a drop camp hunt. Private message me and I can tell you not to hunt with if you are thinking about a drop camp hunt.
Welcome from Mississippi.
I have made several elk hunts in Colorado and several bear hunts in Arkansas. If I can help you at all with any elk hunting advice I will do all that I can.
I made that hunt again in 2020 I think with 14 or 15 pp, I don’t remember exactly what year or the pp it took to draw. I must have found the worst outfitter in Colorado for the drop camp hunt. It was a hunt to forget.
I will kill at least two cottonmouths in my yard and garden this summer and probably a copperhead or two. I am not scared of any of them as long as I can see them.
I think that I understand staying up north, everything down here will bite you or it seems. I see gators almost every fishing trip. One thing that I see that you probably haven’t thought about is, I will see a half dozen road kill alligators this year.
