Lucky this time for Colorado elk unit 61-- drew 1st rifle (not the early rifle), plus my son in law drew the 2 nd rifle elk 61 (9 day season), so now the recon/scouting search for information begins. Neither of us has ever been to the unit, only talked to some hunters who have hunted it.
Some of you must have hunted it last couple of years & any /all information would help & be greatly appreciated to assist us getting going on this unit. Please give me a Text, call, or E Mail on 61 elk. I will put it to good use ! We will never get these tags again, unless we turn them back in if it does not look good for trophies this year. Or the weather, which we heard was very tough last year. I used 13 points, my son in law used 10 points.
I'm 70 so no kid anymore, my son in law is 42, I plan to line up,a horse retrieve of elk if we score.
One very big question-- Do we really need a good Guide to assist us ? My plan is to hunt the mid & southern areas instead of the northern areas where the thick oak brush is a problem, so I've been told. Any one have recommendations on the guides they have used in the past & what /who would you recommend ? My hunt is only 5 days, son in laws is 9 days.
Thanks a lot in advance ! E Mail is preferred-- much faster for me anyway.
