29 public access

[Trad Bow 1979]

Hello everyone, hope all is well. I currently have 3 pp for elk. Given the cost to buy PP in CO every year for a NR I think 3 points is all I want to invest. I’m thinking I will apply in the future for archery elk in 29. This unit is very busted up with private and public land. Is a lot of the National forest land locked? Just wondering how difficult it is to access public land in that unit. Thanks guys

That unit is like a bed of roses.

29...... no,no,no,no. Literally the worst possible unit you could of found. Trying to hunt in that unit is like trying to buy a prostitute in Utah to put it frankly.

Best metaphorical phrase I could come up with haha honestly it’s Boulder County that’s the first thing you’re going to have to deal with... tons of hikers, bikers and granola crunching anti hunters running around in the hills come September. Not exactly the most welcoming place to hunt that’s for sure.

Your roses sound more like BS, but thank you

Thank you for the info guys! I will look else where for prostitutes too LOL. Well I want to stick to a unit in the 3 pp range but I guess it’s back to square one. Thank you

Actually it's right on the money if you've ever heard the phrase "life is like a bed of roses, you just need to watch out for the pricks!" I've got a buddy who hunts it regularly. There are some good animals in there. The trouble is its broken up property, and many of the property owners think they own the roads and post property that is public. They will call you in or pull a gun on you. Its just never seemed worth the hassle to me. Savvy? Look forward to your annual "how does the full moon affect elk movement" post. You are welcome!

LMAO! I’ve never met a squid that talks trash, at least not in person. Thanks for info man. That’s exactly what I was asking about for the unit. I can see that it is busted up but I was curious as to the actual access. The harvest reports look good but your info is exactly what I needed. FYI I have actually found over the years that moon phases do not seem to matter. ?

not a very fun unit to hunt for aforementioned reasons, too many people in general.... hikers, and hunters in the spots that look good and accessable on map. i wouldn't hunt there if i had other choices.
