draw results
Another year of nada. As a resident, applying for 13 hunts (5 choices each) for the last 6 years, getting 1 desert ewe tag all that time sucks. Rough that there's no reasonable chance to hunt anything here as a resident. Back to CO, again... -

Tell me about your CO Muzzle loader set up
Being 65 years old, I've had similar sighting problems. I've found adding 0.5 Diopter to your right (dominant) distance prescription is just the ticket! Front sight sharp, can walk around without dizziness or nausea. Even better if you open both eyes when sighting, at least intermittently. If... -

222-223 Late Cow Elk
Yeah, I kinda lied. I originally intended to use the first weekend of season hunting (dreaming?) the North Pahroc, away from the Mule Shoe craziness. Was up on a mesa on the west side opening morning (a Friday), got snowed on for an hour, and sat. 1 shot from the south, and 2 guys on ATVs went... -

222-223 Late Cow Elk
I was unfortunately solo. Was going to take my truck camper, but my "camp girl" (wife) had surgery the week before, and couldn't go. Those 2-3 mile jaunts start to look pretty daunting for a solo pack-out. The 45 mile drives each way from Pioche were painful, too! How was the "competition" in... -

222-223 Late Cow Elk
Well done, sir! I played the same game, earlier, along the Mule Shoe burn. Twice, I blundered into them in the truck at, maybe, 300 yards. Other two times, spotted then over a half mile away. Each time, donned the snow camo shell, daypack, etc. Followed 2 groups over 3 miles from the vehicle... -

222-223 Late Cow Elk
LAST EDITED ON Dec-31-14 AT 09:45PM (MST)[p]Finished the mid-cow hunt, same units, Dec 16. Unless you strongly want to hunt the Horse & Cattle Camp loop, or Molly's Nipples, I'd stay in Pioche, although the dining options are limited, as said above. The bar in the Overland serves a decent... -

Elk Unit 222 - wilderness vs non-wilderness
Thanks, doz. 21 years of Maroon Bells-Snowmass wilderness hunts has me in pretty good shape, back-wise, for an old fart! -

Elk Unit 222 - wilderness vs non-wilderness
Sorry, I wanted to post this with my original post. Boundary lines for every wilderness area in the US- available by maps for roads, topo, aerial - the GPS coordinate real-time data seems exceedingly accurate... -

Elk Unit 222 - wilderness vs non-wilderness
Hi all, Drew a cow elk tag for mid rifle (early December). There is a concurrent hunt, wilderness only (Mt Grafton). I hold a general Unit 222-223 tag. I've emailed the NDOW big game biologist, but no reply (he's busy, no doubt!). Being as I'm a foot hunter, am I allowed to hunt within the...
