Anyone else have a buddy bail at the last minute? (CO Archery Elk 2024)

Hunting Solo tops the charts. you hunt how and when you want. No worries about babysitting someone else. Life is to short trying to find someone to go with that may not have the same desire and drive as you do.

I might be a little late to the party but I'm going to throw this out there since this is the most relevant thread I've found.

If there's any Colorado residents looking for a guy to hunt with during their upcoming seasons, or just a contact to pack a load out, then feel free to contact me. I love getting out there to help glass or pack. I already burned my PTO for the year but I'm good for driving out on the weekends.

I know a decent amount of hunters but a lot of them seem to prefer to get hammered at camp or they're goals/timeline is a bit off from mine. BHA seems like a solid group too but It's not always available/accessible. It won't hurt to post here. I've been lurking for years.

A little bit about my background and preferences:

-Suffers from AOH (adult onset hunter)
-Prefer hunting out of a backpack if it makes sense. I'm baffled when folks complain of no sightings when they max out at 1.5 miles
-Based in Golden
-Hunted for three seasons, harvested three seasons. One muley, two bulls. One in the sage, two on the mountain.
-I try to do an ultramarathon a year and do a mix of outdoor recreation
-My goal is to hunt a lot of different ways, but I'm really interested bowhunting

Any interest in 4-5 days towards the end of this month for elk?

Like so many others here, I don't have people interested in going at all. That means there's never a chance to flake, but it also means that I don't do a lot of things I'd like to just because I'm not confident in planning and doing the whole thing on my own.

I wish I had found this thread earlier in the season, so I could volunteer my company to those of you who had people drop out this season. Anyone who wants some company is always free to message me. . . I'm single, I stay in good enough shape to survive the rugged country, I always have a bow and a few rifles sighted in, and I love a good adventure!

Any interest in a handful of days towards the end of this month?
