    2024 co elk recaps

    Hard to think it's a mistake with guys using 6, 7 and 8PP. I also see someone used 19 PP on a unit that draws with zero...about makes me sick at my stomach :)

    Returned Elk Tags

    I think the youth preference in the primary draw...is that youth draw first for each point category. For example...if the final 2 tags roll down to the 3 preference point category that has 100 applicants...if there are 2 Youth in that 100...those 2 youth get the tags before any of the other 98...

    With Colorado draws out and others following soon...don't forget the obvious tips that we might have overlooked regarding preparation...you cannot possibly be in too good of shape both physically and mentally. -Start getting miles in at home (as season nears increase miles with your hunting...

    2024 co elk recaps

    For the units I follow I can definitely see the impact of reduced NR allocation. Did this help keep the resident PP required flat or drop at all? Going to get wild next year if all OTC is gone and you now have to burn all PP if you don't want to risk relying on a 2nd Choice. Regardless - I'm...

    Best and most comfortable pack to carry 60+ pounds?

    Like many have said - try several on for best fit. I'm still using an old Kifaru Timberline 2 I bought used on Rokslide Classified in 2016. I'll probably upgrade someday but the T2 is still comfy fits my style of hunting...as well as does really well with a full load. Good Luck picking one out!

    Washing Hunting Clothes

    Tide/Gain...whatever the wife has. Elk hunting opened my eyes to the scent game...the wind direction is all that matters. You definitely don't hurt anything using the scent free stuff or storing clothes...but I wash my camo with my daily clothes and just leave my camo in back of yukon all...

    Agreed. Fresh slimy scat is the best indicator on the mountain.

    You're putting in the effort...my guess is you are close to tagging one. Any particular lesson jump out at you on these hunts? Also - were the 3 hunts similar or different as far as terrain/elevation, season/temps, open/dark timber? Do you have another elk hunt in the future?
