    Hunting with Base and spike camp.

    The last four years have been a mix camping strategies...from straight up park at trailhead and go backcountry for 6 nights, to a “base” camp with spike outs. I’ll spare you the blow by blow analysis of each and say that each has its advantages. For me the base camp with options sounds right...

    Bumping into outfitters

    My experience as well. If you know the area well you can use their pressure to your advantage.

    Where Do Folks Lose It Mentally?

    If I keep it simple and go with the basic formula of attitude + effort = outcome. This often explains where things get off course for me in the backcountry.

    Physical conditioning

    This gentleman’s reply is spot on! I can go over my resume but for what. This advice he gives is all you need to know. You will fail mentally before your fitness holds you back, this is a fact.

    Your post took a few turns and got political. I’ll stick to the topic of BRO. I did follow the boys regularly for a year on YouTube....the series they ran was cool and they had a hook of a promo giveaway (shocker I didn’t win). The question for the BRO boys is why am not attached their brand...

    Call me optimistic...packers?

    I imagine they set price on how far they need to go, lbs, etc. Any general guidelines on cost?

    Call me optimistic...packers?

    Thanks to everyone for the guidance. I had no idea it was potentially this complex. I’m guessing I can get with CPW and find out which outfitters cover my units. Thanks again.

    Call me optimistic...packers?

    Taking a positive attitude into the season... Planning on going a little farther and deeper and it’s basically an area that, if / when I get an animal down I will need help getting it out. As a nonresident how do you tap into the “packer” network? I go to CO, but in general where can you find...

    First timer....

    Spot on with summary here. I have a few of these brands and it’s not really worth telling which you should get, and I’ll explain why. The brands he mentioned...They all work very well, what’s right for you (fit, use, $$) is what must drive your decision. What sucks is you can’t go down to...

    Picking an OTC CO Unit

    I did essentially the same thing fours years ago...from MO. I will say, the onset of websites like toprut have helped folks like us a lot, wish they were popular when I started. I’ve been going to CO for a solo DIY OTC Archery hunt in the Silverthorne area (I’ve shared the units I hunt here...

    You say no cattle in Wilderness areas. Is this standard law/policy or does it vary by Wilderness area?

    Colorado OTC Archery in 2018

    I know this post is old and a long shot of getting a reply back, but I’ll try. I’m curious if you stayed on plan and hunted 36/37/371? I’ve Archery hunted 36/371 the last four years and I’d be interested in your experience.

    Picking an OTC CO Unit

    So I’m looking at the Eastmans (EBJ) issue 112. The MRS for CO Archery Elk opens by stating “units 35, 36, 361 have been taken off the OTC list completely.” It goes on to say...”but you still hunt all those units with an OTC any-weapon license during 2nd and 3rd season and you can still hunt...
