NM 55/54, Colin Neblett Success Story

I'm headed back for my first attempt at Archery Elk this season. Maybe I'll see you on

I'm headed back for my first attempt at Archery Elk this season. Maybe I'll see you on the trail.

Do you know if it is possible to access the Colin Neblett from Clear Creek Camp? Its on the south part of the unit. I have been doing a lot of E-Scouting and it seems like a good access spot for the areas I want to go. Also, how did you do on your archery hunt?

Clear creek is one of the few established "trails" in CN. You can follow it down the creek trail and you can reach drainages from. Many of the surrounding drainage have small creeks that feed clear creek, so elk don't seem to need to come to the main creek for water.

Second archery would normally be peak rut (and was in the rest of the state it seemed) but this unit was late to the party. They weren't talking or responding to calls at all. It was a very quiet and challenging hunt. I accumulated almost 100 miles in scouting and hunting.

Yeah I saw those trails when I was E-Scouting. Instead of walking through the main trail head of 64, I was going to try and access it from the other side at clear creek camp. Have you tried from the opposite side?

My buddies had a bow hunt in a different area and it was the same thing. Very minimal bugles and not responsive to calls. Hopefully they will be vocal on this muzzle hunt.

I've been hunting CN for years and never noticed that entrance to the unit. Not sure if and how good that 4wd trail is or if the road has easement through it.
