CO 22 bear/elk

[danadrums]

Hi All,

Anyone ever hunt CO unit 22 for bear?
I drew a cow muzzy tag and it looks like the success rate is decent (for elk).
But what I really want is a bear, so I grabbed a bear tag as well.
I’ve never been there, but it looks interesting.
Anyone been there for bear?
Seems like a lot of roads, which is a plus and a minus.
How crowded does it get in early to mid-September?
Can’t do any real scouting, just e-scouting, so any info helps.

Thanks and be safe.

I was out there in July scouting. Turned up some elk on private, but theres a ton of public for them to get into as well. I have a 3rd season buck tag this year, and it will be my first time hunting the unit. I live in Colorado and know some locals that say the roads get pretty hammered but people really do not push too far off the road so the game can hunker down inbetween the fingers that hold the roads. How was your hunt? Wish I would have saw this sooner.
