CO Unit 53

[trdhtr]

Anyone hunt 53 in 2020? I did a DIY backpack hunt the second week of archery. Curious if anyone had similar experiences. Got into elk but they were very quiet for 8 days. Of course, hunting pressure was high as is most of CO as I am reading. Much different than 2015 when traffic was very low with a lot of elk sign. Any comments are appreciated.

From my experience with OTC its hit or miss with the elk there. so many variables with pressure and them communicating or lack there of. Ive had more success being quiet and sneaking in on them, finding bedding areas.
