Heading out in 3 weeks....getting antsy already. My dad has a LE deer tag and we are getting OTC Elk...We are packing in so hopeufully we will be away from heavy pressure. Anyone have any thoughts on this area?
 
53 IS ONE OF THE ROCK INFESTED UNITS (BOULDERS) I HAVE BEEN IN. CAN BE A GOOD DEER UNIT, NOT MUCH OF A ELK UNIT WHEN COMPARED WITH THE OTHERS. BUT IF YOU GET IN THE BACKCOUNTRY THATS A DIFFERENT BALLGAME. I KNOW IT TAKES ALOT OF POINTS NOW, HAVE NOT HUNTED IT FOR 3 YEARS....FOUND OTHER UNITS I CAN DRAW. GOOD, LUCK...YD.
 
Derek,What part of the unit are you hunting?I know the unit pretty good.Are you packing in on your own or is someone packing you in?

My wife had that tag last year , we saw lots of bucks and she got a real nice one but I wouldn't hold out for a booner. to be realistic I'd say it's a 160 class hunt with a few nicer ones around. I've had so many calls from Garth's list that I quit calling them back, I feel bad doing that but if everyone who called me went to the same area it would look like down town Denver.
 
Good luck on your hunt, Are you hunting the 2nd rifle season? I have the 3rd rifle deer tag. I was in there a couple of weeks ago. Unit looks good. When you get back I would love to talk to you to see what you saw. Good luck
