I just got my OTC bear tag to go with my Elk tag for first rifle in CO Unit 61. Any good tips on hunting a gut pile? Should I get a tree stand?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Steve
Never hunted a gut pile or from a tree stand. 61 is big canyon country. Your best bet since your rifle hunting is to glass the canyons and catch one moving around. I got a muzzleloader bear tag for 61 this morning. Good luck! Should be a great elk hunt too. Bull or cow?
Bull tag. Since I can't put antlers up in my house. I will probably shoot he best Bull I see in the first two days and spend the rest of the time hunting for bears. I may shoot the bear first if I see it opening morning.
Best of luck to you and let me know where you are seeing the Elk.
Cheers,
Steve
Why can't you put antlers in your house?
Best of luck to you and let me know where you are seeing the Elk.

I'll be there first season too. We have a cabin on the plateau and my daughter has a cow tag for 61. Will probably just hunt around the cabin though, plenty of elk there usually.
Did you get a bear tag as well? They were still under the CAP today. If not, give me your contact info and maybe I can sit on your gut-pile if you get one. Also, my trophies are meat and hides and if you don't plan on keeping the hide, I will make good use of it, maybe throw in some PBR or a single malt if that is your thing.
Best of luck to and your daughter. My ten year old little girl will go through hunter safety this summer. Nothing better than watching the kids be successful in the field.
Cheers,
Steve
