62 First Rifle Elk

[muleymaddness]

Anyone willing to offer any insight to this hunt? My friend is trying to get me to go with him next year. He's been archery hunting it with decent success, but I have way more points than needed for this area but am considering burning them and going with him. I'm not after a trophy, just a good time.

I just can't seem to get myself excited about it. I don't know if its because what I've read about the unit, the fact that I'm burning my points, or if it's because I'd rather be chasing muleys.

Heck, does anyone even have any pictures of the area? I've never been to that part of the state; Gunnison is the closest I've been to the unit.

I wouldn't burn more than 1 point on it if it were me. Still lots of hunters. Save your points for a better hunt.

Same thought as muleycrazy way to many people to blow points on .elk are still there if you dont mind the people !! most hunted unit in the state!!

WOW, that is a heck of a bull for 62. Congrats to you COelk ! I'm assuming you live near the unit ? I didn't think guys had enough snow during 4th to track bulls down like that. That's a heck of a bull for even unit 61.
