2019 Archery Elk w/ Youth hunter
Seeking thoughts/advice on a back country elk hunt next Sept with my 12yo son. I've talked with a couple individuals on their experiences but thought I'd see what the masses have to offer. Want to make the hunt as safe/fun as I can. What we've done in the past however may not be best for a youth... -
How much meat is ethical?
What happens when a couple fellas just wanna have a fresh loin or strap over the fire prior to packing out? Stool sample? Regurgitate? -
My mule deer adventure. All captured through the lens!
Great job and nice work on the putting it together. Love seeing some WV fellas getting it done! -
Pic of my area
We've had this same area "virtually scouted" for a couple years now. Haven't set foot in there yet but thought it looked good. Very similar to other areas we're familiar with. Though we didn't plan to spend much time above timber line, there's a good mix of dark north facing timber, aspen... -
2019 CO ML Season
As it was mentioned earlier by others, I'm hoping that CO's lower tier units remain that way after the new app changes, season dates, etc. I'm a little more concerned about the mule deer side of things and hope I can still draw an easy unit with just 1-2pts and not 3-4. I love the OTC elk... -
2019 CO ML Season
Not sure I'd be able to swing both an OTC tag and ML tag in same season as a NR. I've not looked into the cost but I'm guessing I'd have to pay full price for both? I like your thinking, though! I'll also be taking my 12 yo son on his first elk hunt next year so one week is about all I'll be... -
Colorado Elk Refund??
Yes, MUST be posted marked TODAY to get your refund. Unfortunately, I just sent mine back yesterday for the exact same reason. First season I'll miss since I started hunting.. -
2019 CO ML Season
I certainly understand that season dates are public knowledge. I was more or less asking if anyone thought that next year will see more hunters throw in for ML season based off the later season structure. So a unit that may typically be 100% w/ 2 or 3 points now is only 75%? Appreciate the... -

2019 CO ML Season
My crew has been building elk/deer points for a few years with no clear idea on what to use them on. After last season we decided to give our ML's a try. After looking into things, we decided to hold off until 2019 to (hopefully) draw our ML tags. Likely would have drawn this year but decided to... -
How many archery hunters hunt during ML season in Colorado?
We went archery hunting during CO ML season last year for the first time(Typically go first 2 weeks when we haven't hardly ever seen other hunters). OTC Archery, several miles in from TH. We only heard maybe two shots the first several days but we did run into several ML guys while out. And they... -
Anyone familiar with GMU 54?
Chindits, can you provide the data on the herd sizes in 54 and surrounding units? I haven't seen the updated 2017 harvest/population numbers yet. Curious if this is available to the public somewhere? Thank you, -
Anyone familiar with GMU 54?
If it's officer Brandon Diamond, he stopped us a few years ago in Gunnison when he saw an bull rack in the back of our truck. Questioned us, etc. no big deal. He was friendly and helpful to us on a couple questions we had for him. He didn't seem to be familiar with some of the back roads we... -

Who's gonna be hunting blind elk??
Who's looking forward to hunting all the newly blinded elk that didn't have their eclipse glasses on? On serious note - be safe an enjoy! -
Buying Tags
We had CDOW send our OTC archery tags through the mail after the draw was complete. Years past we'd buy once we arrived in CO. Be prepared for things to go wrong. One year the entire state system was down and we lost a day waiting for it to come back online (after trying 3 locations before... -
Worried About Hunting Pressure In OTC Units?
I've seen and read a lot of guys mention that magical area 1-3 miles from trail head/parking/road etc. I wish this was the case for where I've been hunting but it just doesn't hold true. The 1-3 mile mark seems to have as many camps as the trail head and roads leading to our area. But the... -
CO just posted '16 harvest data
If I were researching units to hunt this coming 2017 season either for a new unit or as a new hunter, I wouldn't select the unit I currently hunt as a place to go (based on the 2016 Harvest Data). It has a couple hundred more hunters and the number of kills has stayed about the same, lowering... -
Elk Newbie - Critique my gear list
Unless I'm overlooking it I don't see where you're taking food? Food will add some weight/bulk to your pack as well. Also, If you're taking a smart phone consider adding OnX Maps or similar app and save maps prior to your trip in case cell service isn't available. If you put the phone in...
