Just got back today, unit 61. Saw a ton of elk, 4 bears, 1 mountain lion, lots of turkeys. Mountain lion tracks everywhere we went. No deer up high. Not much in the middle. Tough hunt. Went down to Nucla, deer everywhere on private property. Saw some small deer very low on BLM, one 4x4 26" taken in our party, and 2 small meat bucks. Was kinda dissapointed for 5 pnts to draw. Maybe our fault, not in the right places, or hunting the wrong areas. The one nice deer we got had a perfect 22round in his neck healed under the hide, a sign of poaching. Thats why they call it hunting and we didnt win! Met some locals who said 61 and 70 have been pretty tough this year. Just opinions.
