Colorado Unit 10 elk

[Defrankm]

I got lucky this year and was able to draw a Colorado Unit 10 early rifle bull elk tag in the hybrid draw. I am a Colorado resident and am a fairly experienced elk hunter. I will spend some time in the unit over the summer to better learn the unit. I was just reaching out to see if anyone has any recent experience in Unit 10 on the early rifle, archery, or muzzy hunt that would be willing to have a discussion on their experience.

I drew a ML tag in Unit 10 twenty two years ago.
Is that recent enough? lol

Haha, I’ll take any input, but was hoping for a bit more recent.

Newbies come and ask for honey holes then don’t come back.

I know, I figured I would drop and line and see if he came back, but getting the info and hauling is the norm now days, which is unfortunate. Might as well share some info on a unit at 99% of us will never get to hunt

Bumping this to see if anyone has any info on this unit and not start a new thread. Too bad OP didn't share his experience...

Drew a first season tag. Feel free to PM. Any input is appreciated.

Yea that’s the plan. Hoping for a good trip and seeing a lot.

I actually called the Meeker CPW office but heard they’ve evacuated due to fires.

Circling back on this post, overall had a great trip and saw a lot of great country. Experienced some pretty crazy weather that rolled in, but saw a ton of critters scouting. Found a few small groups of cows and a ton of muleys.

Got on this small heard when scouting the morning before the season opened.


A couple muleys feeding (mature buck on the left).

Thanks for sharing! I’m guessing no punched tag then? Looks like a dandy buck in that photo

Indeed. A few personal things came up that shortened the trip to 3 hunting days. All in all was still a great trip!

Shoot man, sorry to hear that, but glad that you enjoyed it, did you see any nice bulls?
