Northern Colorado bull down (pics)

Is what I want to be posting. Sorry for the lead in but I knew I could get some of ya to open the topic and see that a new kid in town would like to get some advice or a good general area to do some scouting and have some better luck than hunting around Walden with a 1000 other guys shooting towards eachother. I am in Fort Collins and desperately need a guiding hand. I would be glad to exchange New Mexico information for Northern Colorado Information.

Also, please PM me. I can answer those easier than in the threads. I have to get I.T. to punch me through the firewall to post in threads but not in PM's ( silly, huh)

Thanks

I think you might also succeed with a title like "Need Advice for Walden Area."
As it is, people will get frustrated with your blatantly misleading title.

Man, I thought I was going to see pictures of a dead elk. I agree, "Need Advice . . ." would have been a better title. Do you have an OTC?

Shed as a fellow former NM member I would be happy to help through a PM so PM me and I will reply back

Here is a picture of a great place to hunt elk:

And the GPS coordinates:

Good luck!

Seriously though, sounds like you need to post in the swap section.

haha, yep yep, I deserved that. That was pretty funny. Thanks for the pics and coordinates.

My apologies for that. I used to post here pretty frequently and some of the fellas I knew back then would have chuckled, gave me some $#!+, and then perhaps pm'd me some info. I realize now that there are very few here that I still know.

Anyways, if y'all know something that might point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. It's hard to start over from scratch.

Thanks

I assume your looking for the future and not this year, correct? Is there a particular season you are set on? In nw co I would head to the flattops, but like walden you wont be alone. Any hunt that is easy to draw will be crowded, but that doesnt mean it wont be suucessfull. Best of luck finding a area, just stick with it and your time will pay off.

Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I still have a rifle tag to buy this year. I hunted archery in N.M. and usually hunt rifle in Colorado but I may swap that around from this year forward. Gives me more time to hunt if I hunt archery in Colorado. I just need to learn some areas up here.

be carefull with a 3rd or 4th season tag, because you could get snowed in real easy, and a large portion of elk will be pushed to private property. I would focus on 1st and 2nd season in the future.
