Has anyone hunted unit 55 in colorado?

[MesaHorseCo.]

You couldn't pay me to hunt 55. I don't like seeing 1 other hunter. Let alone 1500 in 55. Half of them on ATV's.

Got that right. There are some good units down the street though.

Yes, I live right next to it in 481. I enjoy hunting it, and have a few good spots that are away from other hunters.

I wanted to resurrect this thread..

Why are there so many hunters in 55 during archery season? Are they hunting Elk or something? CO is only giving out 50 archery tags this year

I think its the geographical location. Lots of people seem to come from the south to hunt Colorado. 55 is also a bigger unit so people think they have more room to spread out. The main reason is you don't have to fight I70 ttaffic.

They offer too many tags. That's why it's popular. Not because of high success rates.

I hunted elk in 55 last year and saw quite a few big muleys. A couple buddies tried hunting elk down in the southern end of that unit, and while there weren't too many elk, they saw a ton of muleys. Told me a 13 year old shot one right out of his camp.

Don't you hate hearing that? Most of us hike for miles looking for game and someone shoots one in camp. Where are all these stupid animals when i'm hunting? I need my turn for an easy kill.

Actually I wouldn't enjoy it. I like a challenge.

No kidding! In truth, I'm with you, I won't hunt unless I can backpack in and camp and have to pack it out! At least for big game
