076 Archery Elk Help

[972Elk]

Good morning,

I drew an archery elk tag in 076 this year. I was hoping some could help me out with a few questions. Is there a detailed map of where the West Fork fire was last year? Is there a central location where I could put a trailer? Would it be crazy to archery hunt during the muzzleloader season? And of course, any photographs of the units or animals taken from the unit.

Thanks for the help,

Jim

Search Rocketman on this forum and you will see lots of pics.

And no, hunt during muzzy season as well.

Killed a nice 6x6 in 76 the first week of archery last year. The fire didn't burn much of that unit, considering 76 is huge! The elk are not everywhere as you might think with a draw unit but there are plenty to hunt once you find a pocket or two that they are in. Lots of places to camp, just depends on where you want to hunt.

cmbbulldog-Thanks for the response...I found the photos that Rocketman took...All I can say is wow!!

drewskinator-Thanks for the response...Great bull..How many days did you hunt? Did you backpack in or were you camped near a road and do day trips?
