Dolores area, Sept. elk.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-08-16 AT 01:49PM (MST)[p]I drew this tag and am hoping to connect w MMers familiar w the units around Dolores. PM if you care to discuss drainages, elevations, seasonal movements, please and thanks. I am glad to exchange info RE other CO units I know. I'm going to pack in and camp a few days, hunting solo, so I am particularly interested in areas w no road/ATV access. Hope to hear from you, and I guarantee no requests about where you hunt.

This ML cow tag is good in 71, 72, 73, 711, thanks.

I could try and help if nobody offers up any better advice. I have archery hunted mule deer in those units in the past, but not elk. I did see a few elk and hear a little bugling (it was August so they weren't cranking yet). Glassing a lot of distance was tough in the areas I hunted since it was pretty dense with aspen, pines, and oak brush.

Still curious about gmu 73.
