I've been a member for a while but have never posted. I hunted in unit 65 for 2 seasons and have a friend that has hunted there 35 years in a row. I put in around 14 miles a day and saw plenty of elk. I shot a 6 point and tracked for 3 days over 2 miles and never found it. My buddy and his guys usually are about 50% for killing elk and have taken several in the 270-300 range. I would advise to go where the 4wheelers cant.
Too many recreational hikers in the wilderness area on the middle fork trail. Annoying!It used to be a pretty good unit. It’s gotten so busy now that it’s impossible to get away from people.
Fact.It used to be a pretty good unit. It’s gotten so busy now that it’s impossible to get away from people.
What changes are making it busier?Not a lot of bugles, busy, steep. Probably going to be even busier this year with the changes
Eh, it's still possible. you just need to find the areas that suck to get to.Fact.
Corey, I am considering 65 for archery this fall. I can't message you, but how did the hunt go? I also went on my first elk hunt last fall in CO 444. It was a lot of fun, a few elk, no shot opportunities. I'm curious about 65, and would be great to hear how you liked it. Thanks.That’s what I have gathered. First time ever elk hunting and going out of state hunting. Hoping to have a safe and productive trip. Just getting into elk would be a bonus for our first trip.
I learned how to elk hunt in this unit and its where I killed my first elk. It used to be decent when I hunted it back in 2016. Since then its just got more and more popular. Beautiful place, but too crowded now for my taste.Hello,

I see what you did there.6X6 bulls everywhere in this unit. I dont know why more people do not hunt this unit. You can go several days and not see a person.........can't wait to go back.
