unit 500 and 501 Co.

[mixedbag]

My son has points to draw unit 500 1st rifle and the success seems pretty high.May be a good chance for him.Anyone ever hunt this unit?Would be his first elk hunt and he's 14 will be 15.He plays football so should be in great shape come Oct.whats the access like and elk numbers.He will shoot any legal elk I'm sure so not worried about trophy quality too much
I have the points for 501 1st rifle.I looked over maps and see good access and plenty of room to hunt.Success was high for the 1st rifle season.Wondering what the trophy quality is like in that unit and the herd size.Or, would it be better I just keep building points for another unit.I'd be looking for at least a 300" bull or better
Was planning a muley hunt in Co. but to have better odds I need to wait at least one more year of point building

PM sent. Remember the landowner allocation change may play hell with preference points.

did you end up hunting 500? I know this is an old post but I would love to hear about your experience if you're willing to share.

Any chance you would be willing to chat about unit 500? I have a 1st rifle elk tag this year and have a number of questions. Thanks!

I know nothing about GMU 500 elk but do yourself a favor and stop by Otto's. The cajun chicken will change your life.
