For those willing to give helpful advice on areas to spend time scouting and hunting, i am(SHOULD) draw a 76 Elk tag this year and plan on spending a lot of time/effort getting ready to drop a good bull this year and looking for all the help i can get. I hunted this area about 5 years ago and tagged out on a small bull(my first) early so didnt spend much time in the area, and havent been back since. Thanks in advance for any tips you might have.
Archery Elk 76 TIPS
- Thread starter Morty

It is a good elk unit, I have heard that archery takes 5-6 points. There are good Bulls in the unit, and being a limited draw has less hunting pressure, which is always beneficial. Like I mentioned I hunted there a while ago when I was 4 years into archery and took a 5x4 very quick. Now that I've killed more Bulls with my bow I'm looking to be more selective and put in more work for a good one. I will keep updates as far as scouting and hunt success. Thanks
Yep that's about right, have 5 now as a co resident. So I'm hoping! No horses unfortunately. I'm not discouraged by de-boning and packing out on foot, that's what I train for, although it is tuff as hell sometimes, gotta love it. If weather is cool that might determine how deep in I go, giving me a little more time to keep the meat good before the freezer. I might even look for a local in creede area with a pack team, depending on $$. All of this in confidence of getting one down first.

Hey Jainoon (Alan) - I sent you a PM.
Morty - my dad and I are hoping to draw this year. we have 12 NR points. We have bowhunted the area 3 times in the past. This will likely be our last hunt with dad being 77 and the way point creep is going I may never catch up again. Send me a PM if you want some info.
