In my short time on here this seems to be about the most representative thread I've seen yet. Young guys who have never done this and are just trying to use their modern resources to learn and get a leg up get absolutely roasted on this forum by older more experienced guys. I've got no problem...
Do you think that if I watch all of Cam's videos and carry a 50lb rock in my pack instead of water that that will increase my chances of killing a bull? I'm willing to do whatever it takes #KeepHammering
Thanks for reaching out, I'll definitely do that. I've been trying to do a lot of e-scouting and get focused on some areas before calling out to local conservation officers/biologists so I have some specific questions to ask them rather than just generally asking "where's good" and getting the...
Yep, first year these areas have gone draw and limited tags. Not sure about that zone specifically for leftover tags, but I know it drew out people with 0 pref points. Based on the hunter numbers there the last couple years I would be surprised if application numbers werent high for people with...
As a first time elk hunter I took the advice of some people on here and got the Phelps Metal Bugle tube and a EZ bugler mouthpiece! Looking forward to getting into the woods and chasing elk for the first time!
Thanks for all the responses! We knew the herd was in decline and know there will be pressure and killing one will be no easy feat, but we made the decision that one of these units that drew out people with 0 pref points was better than most of the OTC units we were looking at. The terrain looks...
Thanks for the advice. I figured I'd throw a post out in case anyone had some area specific advice or was open to sharing some past experiences in the area. Besides the googling that was recommended above and the e-scouting we are already doing, I'll definitely be digging into these forums and...
Been doing it since results came in and plan to keep doing it until we go! Gonna try to learn all I can but figured posting in a couple of these forums might turn up a couple people who might be open to sharing some wisdom. Not much downside, but quite possible that it could have some benefit
Hey all, new member and first time elk hunter here. Few friends and I are hunting archery elk in CO 77/78/771 this season. None of us have elk experience, and we decided to do a draw zone that pulled with no pref points rather than doing an OTC zone. I know pressure will still be bad, but we are...
Hey jlsmith214, can't PM as a new member but myself and a few buddies are archery hunting 77/771/78 this year during archery. Would love to revive this thread and hear what people have to say about the units. None of us have any experience elk hunting at all, this is a true first. We are all...
