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!

LAST EDITED ON Jan-01-18 AT 12:11PM (MST)[p]My Son harvested his first elk on Saturday, 30 Dec 2017! He got her in Colorado Unit 201. He drew a 1st season cow tag this year, but we were not able to harvest a cow during the 1st season. We hunted for four days during the 1st season and although we...

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!

Man what a difference a good quality photo can make! These were a pleasure to view.

Now that is a nice post! Congratulations!

Congratulations! Sweet bulls! I love spending time on the Unc any time of the year.

Loved the video! I have never attempted to video a hunt. I'm sure that takes quite a bit of extra effort and forethought. It is appreciated!

I shoot a .270 Win with the 150 grain Nosler Partitions and I have never been disappointed. I don't know anything about Oryx, but they are great medicine for elk!

I have been to 201 several times during the 3rd season for cow elk. I absolutely love that unit.You should see animals every day. The widest buck I have ever seen in the wild was coming off the southeast face of Middle Mountain heading toward Antone Gap and Diamond Peak. I had a buddy take a...

I have a Burris Signature Series fixed 6x on my .270 Winchester. It has served me well, but there have been times where I wished I had a little more magnification.

I shoot a .270 for elk. My setup is a fixed 6x Burris Signature Series scope and 150 grain Nosler Partition bullets. I absolutely love the 150 grain Partition bullet. I have no plans to shoot anything besides that bullet. I do sometimes wish I had a 3x-9x or 4x-12x scope. The Burris scope I have...

I shoot a 150 grain Nosler Partition out of my .270 and I love it! I shot a cow elk this year and she didn't go 20 yards. The bullet entered a little lower than I anticipated right behind the right front shoulder. It went through both sides of the rib cage (taking out the heart in between) and...

I can't believe all of the effort that you go through to get your hunts on video! I feel like I am lucky enough to even get an animal on the ground, let alone get it on film. Keep it coming, I love to watch all you produce.

Now that's a trip with some memories! Great job.

Love the black and white pic. That's a full week of bucks in the bag!.

Great post. Loved the video. No better feeling than the post kill shot celebration with family/friends!

Thanks for all of the kind words. We didn't do anything too extravagant with the meat. We just cut her up into steaks and roasts and the rest went to hamburger and Italian style sausage. We tried the sausage in some spaghetti this weekend and it was delicious. Can't wait to try some of the other...

Ya ColoradoBob, That's what I hear from several of my hunting buddies about my .270. They have 30-06, 300WSM, 300 winmag. But my elk always seem to be just as dead as their elk and I love the caliber/gun so I just keep using it! I kind of take a little pride in putting the shot where it is...

I was able to take a nice cow elk in unit 201 earlier this week. It was one of the easiest hunts I have ever been on. We got really lucky! The hunt opened on Saturday (Nov. 2nd), but we were not able to get up to the unit until Monday afternoon. We only had two hours of light left Monday...

I have hunted elk a few times in 65 with a rifle. Here is a summary of my experience there. Billy Creek SWA: Way too many hunters. Didn't see any elk. Buckhorn Mountain: Less hunters. More private property. Still no elk sighted. Cimarron SWA: Lots of Hunters. One trip - no elk sighted. Another...

Love this post! That is a dandy bull. I especially like how the bullet hole is visible in each of the shots. The photo of you shaking hands is classic as well. Great job!

That's a beauty! I love the trail cam pic in velvet and then all the pics without the velvet. No more back door escapes for him!

Excellent photos! It doesn't get a whole lot easier than those kills within sight of the road.

Nice. Way better than anything I ever shot at 13. He looks pleased with his effort!
