    Colorado Elk Rifle

    Can't go wrong with at .308 or 30-06. Lots of choices for ammo at reasonable prices. A Savage 10/11 with accu-trigger and a basic scope package or an Axis with a little better scope should be right in your price range and are good shooters. Might be able to find something on Black Friday...

    Was out in CO unit 14 with a buddy for ML last week. One bugle early in the week and got a couple to answer a bugle later in the weeks. Grouse hunting with the bow was good.

    Colorado gmu 85 access

    I live and hunt in 85. With the fire from this year you are limited to only one area at bear and blue lake on the north end of the NF. No issue getting a pop up in there if you can find a spot. You will have atv'rs, a few horse trailers, and other campers in the area during archery and ML...

    Colorado gmu 85 access

    Be aware that the recent Spring fire burned much of the Northern part of the San Isabel NF in unit 85. Basically from Cucahra/Raspberry Mountain area North up above Hwy 160, around Mt. Maestas, Silver Mountain, and Sheep Mountain almost to Gardner. East to West from Hwy 12 toward Ft. Garland...

    Colorado unit 85 elk

    The NF South of Cuchara is still open as is the NF and wilderness areas on the Spanish Peaks. I'd expect a lot more hunting pressure in these areas since the Northern part of the NF is now toast. The Spanish Peaks SWA is also available but it gets a lot of pressure as well. Not much public...

    Archery elk hunt within 2 hours of Denver

    You will have a lot of other recreational/non-hunter users in those areas as well, hikers, campers, 4 wheelers, mtn. bikers, horseback riders, etc. during September. I'd look at the OTC units with a fair amount of wilderness area (eliminates motorized travel) and would also look at areas that...

    the varying tolerance levels of wives. :) for fun only.

    Around a 5. Sort of a don't ask don't tell situation. She doesn't ask about what I spent on gear and she doesn't tell me what she spent on her latest quilting machine, sewing machine or other sewing gadgetry. I live where I hunt so no real issues getting time away. Even when we lived in the...
