Thanks for the post! I have been to unit 201 many times after cow elk. It is a special place!

What a great memory! Those are some fine bucks to double up on! Congrats!

Thanks to all who replied to my message and who PM'ed me. I appreciated all the help. We spent all our time in Unit 2 near Douglas Mountain and saw plenty of elk. Unfortunately, my boy was not able to seal the deal. He missed twice on broadside shots. Part of his problem is that he just gets way...

Love that Wyoming buck. Great Job!

I'm looking for some information about the late hunt in unit 2 and 201. My 14 year old son had a 3rd season 201 cow tag and was unsuccessful. We are planning to go back during the Christmas break to give it another try. We have been to unit 201 several times during the 3rd season, but never...

My son and I were in unit 201 this past week trying to track down a cow elk. We were camped at Rocky Reservoir camp ground and found something left behind at one of the camp spots. It appears to me to be some adjustable legs for a camp stove maybe??? They are made out of galvanized pipe and are...

A great tag to fill the freezer for sure. I have been to 201 several times over the years. One of my boys has a third season cow tag in 201 this year. Get the "Gates of Ladore" BLM map. The closest town and gas station is Maybell, CO. Maybell is over an hour drive from the unit, so you will want...

The biggest buck I have seen in that unit was on a barren little peak called Bishop Peak. He must have been spooked there.There is not much of anything on Bishop Peak. It is right next to Middle Mountain and I suspect that is where he came from. I also had a good buddy take a nice 29" buck from...

+1 to the previous post. Chains are a must if the weather gets bad. I have been stuck in that unit with chains. No gas station for 70+ miles... bring extra fuel.My favorite unit in CO to hunt!

Have you been to the unit before? I have been there several times during third season and will be there again this year with a cow elk tag. The mule deer will be in full rut mode during third season and it will be a matter of picking which buck to go after. You will see lots of bucks to choose...

Beautiful bull. I love spending time on the Uncompahgre whether I get anything or not. You have been blessed!

Love posts like this. It makes me think of each hunting experience with my own kids. Great job!

I've had hunts like that before, but never on a bull that nice! Good job!
