    I drew 61 archery elk and bear. The excitement and training kicked up a notch or two today.

    I will have to look up The Tongue. I plan to spend plenty of time on the ground scouting and learning. Learning the OnX maps to figure out good glassing points.

    I have heard many things, good and bad, about the area. My main concerns are access areas, and hiring help to pack an animal out. I called around in 2020 when I initially drew the tag and had to turn it in due to old folk issues. No luck with packing contacts. I expect to draw this year and am...

    Were you camping around the perimeter or did you go in? I've read the access is pretty good but have not had a good conversation with anyone. Do you know anyone who will help pack out an animal?

    Thanks for the positive take. At 62, I am turning in 28 NR points to hunt it and am pumped.

    I drew 61 archery in 2020 and had to turn tag in. Fully expect to draw archery this year. NR with 28 points going in. Taking in all the news, good and bad. All of it is information only and going to go all out. At 62, it will be my last best chance to have a great time in the elk woods. I hope...

    Colarado elk gmu 65 guide pack out

    Glad you made a good outlook on the hunt. Any words on places to camp? Is the access and roads as easy and plentiful as it sounds?

    Colarado elk gmu 65 guide pack out

    Hi Bligneel. How did your hunt go? Also very interested getting help with a pack out in '23. Drew 61 archery in '21 but had to turn tag in for family reasons and kept my points. Expect to draw with 28 NR points.

    Today I learned I don't know what a 300" bull is

    I know what you mean about sizing. I am looking at any elk, pictures or mounts, to determine if I would shoot it or not. Not getting # of inches in my head.

    Can't Shoot A Big Bull If You Shoot A Small One First!

    If I saw that in the woods, I would think I needed a bigger bow. What an animal!

    Did you use an outfitter to help pack the meat out. I started calling last year and did not get anywhere. I am a DIY hunter but the years are adding up.

    You did the toughest part which is sticking with it when it gets tough. Sounds like a great time with plenty of elk. I drew it last year and had to turn my tag in for family reasons but kept my points so I anticipate drawing again in '23. Would love to get your take on access and camping areas...

    Elk ivory ideas

    That is a great idea. I had an old knife maker make a carver and fork for me using some elk horns I had. He made something way too big for me to use. He also did not have any thing in the butt. I will take pics and post to this. His name was Anderson up in the La Garita country. I think he is...

    I am a new member and an old bow hunter. Spending 27 non-resident points on Unit 61. I can't wait any longer or I might not be able to give them a run for their money. I won't live long enough to get 201 and beat the wolves to the elk. I am able to work remotely and plan to spend Aug and Sept in...
