Looking for an archery Elk partner for Unit 67. After hunting the area solo the last two years, I feel like I'm hanging it out going solo...
Arriving 7 Sep and have campground reservations 7-22 Sep. You could pitch a tent or reserve another site?
Hunt Modus Operandi: Wife in trailer at the campground 6,500ft. I set up basecamp 3-4 miles in, at 7,800ft and hunt for 6 days (8-13 Sep). Down to camper 14 Sep, shower, good meal and a night on a mattress. Back up to basecamp 15-20Sep.
Hunt Style: Still hunt the thick stuff (7,000 to 8,000ft elevation) with little to no calling. Minimalist pack: 38lbs for 6 days. Found a filterable water source that's been there last two years. Temps vary: 80s to 20s. Rain (sometimes sleet) 20-30% of the time.
Background: 56 years old, in great shape, retired NavSpecWar.
Past two year hunt summary: Close encounters (20-30yds) with deer/elk/moose (no tag for the moose) Unfortunately, the archery shot on the deer/elk, never materialized. There aren't a lot of elk and deer but I've been in range several times each year...only a matter of time.
If interested, PM
