Dumb Georgia boys headed to Unit 33 and we have questions.

The hunt planners weren't very helpful for me either. Have you played around much on the hunting atlas on the CO website? Whichever area you're interested in, you can click on the map to bring up the information. Then choose "contact info" (I think it's called that). It then lists the phone number to the district office, the names of the area managers and wardens. Any name you see you can email. Example is John Doe. Their email would be [email protected] Use that format.

I'll warn you though,I've emailed and left messages for several people and only had one respond back. They're really not as helpful as people have made them out to be.

Good luck!

Yes we have been studying the atlas and bought a good map with all boundaries and access roads. Thanks for the email advice.

You guys are awesome and I do appreciate all the info. We are also avid fisherman and hoping to land some nice trout while backpacking any body wet a line while they are on the trail?

What is the best elevation to find elk in early September in unit 33?

Just a question......but having never been to CO or hunted CO, how did you pick the unit 33 tag to put in for? The tag is also good for parts of 23 and 24. It's a good tag, and I would venture to say almost impossible to go in there and not see elk. You won't have a problem finding water. But I would hunt as high as you can find there. Hammer it hard until you're on good fresh sign, and be prepared to move. Have a good plan B, and C, and D, and E before you get there.

These kinds of trips are awesome.......going in blind! Good luck, and most of all enjoy your time there.

We know a couple of guys that went to 33 and came home with elk but that was years ago and they are not much help now a days.
