Lots of good advice offered so far. Would you camp in a tent or do have have a camper? How big of a camper? This will dictate how many options you have for a campsite. There are lots of primitive camp spots in 67. What kind of rig will you be driving? Can you handle 2 track 4x4 roads? You...

Can someone confirm if I understand the process? Around 11:00 the reissue list is moved to the leftover list and you have to select from the leftover list. There is really no way to know when the move happens, right?

This is OTC elk season too. You'll have a lot of company.

Spot on advice from leicabucks.

I hunted OTC elk in 55 for 3rd last fall. I hadn't hunted OTC rifle for years and I was shocked at the number of camps/hunters I saw. Saw a handful of deer but nothing like the old days prior to the winter of 2008/2009. Based on what I'm seeing, the deer numbers are way down.

Is that a Sur Ron B? I

Way to go!

I shot this buck in 551 on the 2nd day of the season. My first antelope tag - very happy to take this one.

We have about 8" at my house and lot of downed trees. Still snowing this am

There is dispersed camping on Owl Creek Pass and around Silver Jack Reservoir. Check out High Mesa and Little Cimarron too.

For the scouting I've done this summer, I'm not seeing deer at the low elevations. I would start at the quakies and higher.

It's bad. Almost no rain the entire summer. Sage brush is not looking good. It could be a tough winter for the elk and deer herds. Higher elevations seem to have better forage right now.

I drew my 1st antelope tag this year - muzzle loader buck in 551. There are only a few dozen antelope in the unit, but I'm really looking forward to the hunt. I've been scouting all summer. Nothing for the record books, but I hope to put some meat in the freezer.

What a shite show. The whole CPW site is confusing and sent me in circles trying to find the page to buy a tag. I finally got logged in and ready, only to have to re-login when I hit the go button. I got nothing.

You can stay in town and easily hunt 67. A 10 minute drive will get you on public land. Low temps in November sometimes drop into the single digits, sometimes even below zero. Keep this in mind if you plan to camp. The Gunnison Basin deer herds are not what they used to be. I think a...

X3 on Thors

For eats, I like The Dive, High Alpine Brewery, The W, Blackstock Bistro. Burgers are good at the Power Stop. Lots of lodging options. Gunnison Inn west of town might work.

I'm getting pumped too! Just what's needed after being stuck at home for weeks. My brother is going scouting today.

Longbeard XRs for me too!

The Gunnison basin has a very small population of pronghorn. I think the only reason it takes so many points is that there are very few tags available. For the points it takes there are much better units. This winter has been about average for snow and temps, so I think winter kill for all...

Good looking knife. What's the pointy thing used for?

I was hunting down low, close to the hay fields. That's where I was seeing the most deer. No rut behavior from the few bucks I did see.

I spent a week in 62 for 3rd season deer. I had the same tag 3 years ago. I agree that the herd numbers have dropped significantly. I hunted every day and hit multiple areas and saw less than a dozen bucks. The only 2 good bucks I saw were on private. I won't be going back.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-28-19 AT 08:24AM (MST)[p]Snowing this morning with about 4" in town. Supposed to snow for the next 3 days. Temps are supposed to drop below zero. This is early to get this much snow and cold. Should get the animals moving lower. I agree with the strategy to keep moving...

One thing to be aware of, the CPW cut back the number of elk tags in 551.

NAPA in Gunnison usually has some too.

So the proposal is to require a 2nd application for the 2nd draw, which means paying another app fee. Figures the CPW would pinch us for more money.

Look for something used on Craigslist. Get a front shock if you can.

Snowing again this morning!

Water Wheel Inn west of town is a good option too.

Check your PMs Comules.

We didn't really get anything out of that storm. Temps are still cold and the snow is getting crusty.

Snow keeps falling in the Gunnison basin. About an inch of new overnight. Temps have been warm and it's heavy wet snow. The cabin we care take in the West Elks had 52" on the ground 2 weeks ago. We're heading back up this weekend to shovel the roof again. Wouldn't surprise me to see another...

It's been a cold winter so far. Started right after Thanksgiving with overnight temps dropping below zero. The average low temp for January was -10, average high was 23. Snow has been piling up the past few weeks. We're getting heavy, wet spring snow now. Snow is 2 feet deep in my yard...

It's a bit of a drive from Alamosa, but the Spanish Peaks near Cuchara have birds.
