Has anyone hunted either of these units and want to share where they have seen elk? We are leaving Tuesday for our hunt and still have no idea where to go.

Thank you in advance,
Jeremy
 
We hunted GMU 21 this year during the 2nd combined rifle season (22 - 30 Oct) and didn't see a single live elk. We did get a couple of nice bucks, though. You might want to try Calamity Ridge and Cathedral Bluffs. Also, try the Piceance Wilderness area. We heard there were some nice bulls in those areas, but we used four points to draw our buck tags, so that's where our priorities were. Down near Douglas Pass is supposed to be a good area, but it is dependent on weather - it's pretty steep down there!
 
I would hunt south of Rangely out as far as east douglas. These critters have been chased for 2 months so they are a bit jumpy and aren't hanging by the numerous roads. Very scattered but they are around. Much of it looks barren but it holds elk.
