66 is a big Unit. Do you have a suggestion on what road to walk in from?

I drew a muzzleloader tag for 66. Could you give me some ideas from your hunt a couple of years ago. I am hunting with my brother-in-law. He has called elk, both bulls and cows, but neither of us is familiar with the area. We can also hunt in Unit 69, but a lot of it is private land.

Fuzzy, 10'000 acre is a good piece of dirt, I would spend the first day looking it all over. Goats don't wander too far you can always come back to one you want if there is not too much pressure. After looking over 20 or 30 bucks you will know what you want,remember mass and the height of the...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-05-10 AT 08:07PM (MST)[p]Yes to the 4 wheeler ,some of the roads are slow going in a truck but you can NOT take them off the roads.Yes you will find 300+ bulls but getting one is another story but at least they are there.As far as outfitters go most of them horse pack in and...

Unit 30 is managed for better quality deer and there are some nice ones,3rd season is the rut and the bucks get stupid but myself I dont think they get a extra 4 years of waiting stupid.Go 2ed season, glass long and hard they just won't be in with the does as much.Unit 40 has a lot of public...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-26-10 AT 11:00PM (MST)[p]Rifle DIY no,muzzy not too bad they scream there heads off its pretty cool but you MUST come at least a week early just to learn where you can and can't go, you can't waste hunting days to figure this out.I would guess that 80% of the bulls come off...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-26-10 AT 10:26PM (MST)[p]You can still put in for a pp and draw a doe/cow on the 15% youth alottment second choice and he can hunt that buck/bull in your prefered unit in a year or two and beleive me he will be more excited with a doe kill than he thinks he will be, my kids...

Have you got the points? It takes at least 7 nr to get in for archery , check out some posts from last september in the colorado section and you will know where to go.... high.

90% of that county is public land and lots of it is wilderness, 80% of the hunters hunt 20% of the area... where the ATVs go.Hunt the wilderness but avoid the major pack trails and you will have all the country you want to yourself for the most part.Fair number of elk ,lots of dense timber ,a...

Never Never I got morals...... somewhere.....I think .

LAST EDITED ON Jan-21-10 AT 00:11AM (MST)[p]I hunted big gulch RFW 2 years ago, the section they gave me was several thousand acres,my wife and myself were the only buck hunters on it.Saw a good one the first day and spent the next two days looking for a better one,looked over about 60 or 70...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-12-10 AT 07:04PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jan-12-10 AT 06:09?PM (MST) I set up both my daughters for hunting and I had them both shoulder a lot of rifles before I bought , they know what feels right to them after handling a few. I also believe fit and balance play a big part...

You might look into unit 10 lots of nice bucks .They run tall but not too wide you could score a very good buck but a B&C may be hard to do.The best of the best get picked off by poachers up there it is some very remote country in the winter and those SOB's are hard to catch.Its big open country...

Sageadvice that sucks that that outfitter led those guys astray. In september it all happens at or near timberline in 76.We camped at 11000 ft and saw 12 to 18 bulls 5 pt and better every day ,one after noon we stood IN CAMP and glassed 9 bulls.A guy I know hunted this year 1st rifle scouted a...

I do my antelope as all my game meat,marinade with the generic marinade mix from the seasoning section at the store. Some of the flavored ones are OK but I like to season my own, but use a little extra oil then add whatever extra flavors you want like bbq sause,Italian seasonings,mexican...

Just made up a bunch of sausage of several types last week end. mixed our game meat almost 50/50 with pork shoulder roast (99 cents pound at wallmart) that is about 50% fat cut of meat. Used several resipes from.. Lets make sausage .com ... breakfast,Italion,chorizo liked most all that we made...

I hunted ute creek dranage 4 years ago but we had horses but I know several people who did real good on the west side of the unit with out.I don't know about the east side it may be good just never met any one who hunted it.The local DOW guy could tell you but it may take a couple of trys to get...

Unit 76 ,go several days early locate 2 or 3 bulls you want and smack one down the first morning. I have never met anyone who hunted 76 and was not happy with the hunt but I have met a lot of pissed off hunters in 61 mostly because they spent all summer scouting only to have cow hunters rearange...

My wife and I hunted big gulch RFW 2 years ago and had a great time! We both had buck tags and the section they gave us to hunt was several thousand acre's we shared it with 5 people with doe tags.The first day we located a few nice bucks 14" to 15" and thick , spent the next two days looking...

Unit 3 & 11 always have deer year round and with a either sex tag there should be a lot of oppertunity to get a shot.Some of the small land owners around craig may let you on for archery so don't be afraid to knock on a door if you see deer on there land.Look for the small parcels of public land...

I hunted mtn goat there 13 years ago (4 weeks in september) and a friend hunted goat this year and we both saw the same thing.Elk in the high basins and chutes week after week and no hunters. Now we were well above timber line looking down so maybe the elk hunters couldn't see them but there are...

No I don't know any one that has hunted 3rd in 76 , but I looked up the stats. 2008 3rd rifle 16 bull 89 cow 9 calf . 63 antlered hunters 16 bull 16% success. 379 total hunters 30% success. 2008 archery 170 hunters 50 bulls 2 cow 31 % success the archery guys did twice as good as the 3rd rifle...

I hunted 76 a few years ago black powder ,elk elk every where , few hunters. Between that and the poastings from rocketman and others who have done well this year I don't know why you would want to risk a hunt on weather 3rd season unless it was a cow tag.Good snow the elk are down,too much...

I used to hunt 49 when I lived on the front range took a few young bulls there and I have family that still do very will there.Hunted east side of buffilo peaks and have seen a few BIG bulls,none of us ever took one but big antlers wasn't our goal ,we almost always fill our tags there.I now hunt...
