Howdy fellow hunters. I'm starting now to plan a DIY elk hunt in Unit 81 for October 2015 (just can't make it this year). Planning on heading up the Conejos river valley USFS 250, find a camping spot, and hunt west into the South San Juan Wilderness Area probably along the South Fork Conejos trail #724. I've never hunted this part of the state before since for years I was tied to a group of older men that always headed to the Uncompahgre plateau. Does anyone have any experience in this area? I was told by a girl in the Rio Grande NF office that even camping is severely restricted along that road. I find that hard to believe since it is public land. Any thoughts on that and past elk success in that area would be greatly appreciated.
