I live in Richmond, VA and have bowhunted CO 4 times in the Holycross Wilderness OTC DIY area w/ my best friend who lives in Denver. I called in a 306 1/8" for him in '05 but my luck has been poor at best. I also have two NM hunts, one in the Gila to no avail. I just turned 41 and coming from VA to 11,000' in the Cross. isn't getting easier. I want to kill a bull w/ my bow before father time creeps up much closer.I'm in decent shape but I'm not getting any younger. It does not have to be a monster, just a DIY branch antlered bull. 280 would be a dream, a 300... well I'm not sure I could put it into words.
I joined Hunt'n Fool and put a $1,000 deposit down on a 61 archery landowner tag. They said I'm first inline w/ them to get one. My buddy in Denver has 11 pts and has a decent chance to draw. I have a map already of the Uncompahgre National Forest and USGA maps are on the way. I will fly out in July to scout and my friend will get in 2 scouting trips from Denver in August. Guys, I need your help.
If anyone who has hunted here and had good success, bad success please chime in and point me in the right direction. W/ my luck I need alot of chances and I would like to have 5 to 6 places that we can count on to have bulls so if we screw up and blow'em out we can move on to the next place. Please tell me what to expect and if I'm on the right track for success. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I want my 1st one to be DIY so when I'm older I can say i did it w/o a guide. Thanks and Merry Christmas
