I’ve hunted the same unit for antlerless elk for 6 years in a row, either 3rd or 4th season. I’ve killed 2 elk, missed another at 50 yards last year...twice. So I’m batting .333, should be .500. The other 3 years I haven’t seen an elk during the season. The harvest stats put the unit around 10% (taken with a grain of salt)
The problem with the area I hunt is that it’s a migration/transition unit and very weather dependent. If it storms during the season then there are elk, if it storms before the season then there are no elk as they’ve already moved through and if there are no storms, then again, no elk.
So my question is more for Colorado elk hunters that hunt rifles every year. If you were in my shoes would you be ok with this area or would you start hunting for a different gmu?
