LAST EDITED ON Mar-14-15 AT 05:34PM (MST)[p]My 80 year old Dad called me on the 7th (his birthday) He told me that my Mom told him over breakfast that she had to take $12,000.00 out of her 401 K this year and offered him a African Safari for his birthday, me included.
He said he'd rather elk hunt here since he could get home in less than a day no matter where he was in the US. In Africa it could take 2-3 days if something happened to my Mom. (guess you think of those things when you are ovr 75)
We talked and he really wants a muzzy tag in Colorado, Unit 61. We archery hunted it in 2008, and were impressed.
We argued since he wants me to have a tag also. I told him a Unit 61 muzzy tag would cost well over $6,000.00. I told him I'd just as soon help him the entire hunt including getting there early to scout although we saw good bulls everywhere we hunted in "08."
So I have a couple of questions:
With the changes, how would a guy locate tags this year?
And could you buy a Unit 61 muzzy tag and a Unit 61 archery tag for $12,000.00?
To me, that would be the very best scenario. I could get there a week before the muzzy season, hunt/scout, help my Dad, then hunt the last week (best week IMO).
