We are a group of 5 NR hunters who would really like to hunt bull elk this fall in Colorado. A bit of background, over the years we have "banked" our pref. points and going into this fall's application process, we have 16 pts. As my dad and uncle are getting up there in age, their chances of going on a wilderness hunt are nill! Therefore access to "huntable" units is perhaps the main question. I have looked mainly at muzzleloader hunts that we could draw, i.e., 23, 24, and 33. I dont believe we have a shot at 40 or 61. 76 seems, from all I've reads is more of a guided hunt or backpack DIY, which is out of the question for dad/uncle.
I have come to the realization that w/our number of points, we are sorta in a "no-man's land". Not enough for the great units, but too many for most of the OTC units. I really don't have a good idea where to look. And perhaps, any ideas for second season elk. I know that there is a new hunt for 61 (early elk), but i don't know even if we could draw the second season.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking for anyone's secret "honey hole", just some ideas where i should start to look.
