Meeker GMU Scouting Help

[Gwood0813]

Hey guys,

I drew an archery elk tag for Colorado GMU (near Meeker) and I am having some trouble trying to find the best place to hunt.

I am in my upper 30’s, resonably fit, have 2 seasons of DIY backpack archery elk hunting in CO under my belt. Non CO resident.

I have been looking at the Windy Gulch Wilderness area to avoid motorized hunting pressure. But it doesn’t look like there are many options for water in there.

Anyone have experience in that area/gmu that would be willing to point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Thread 'Rokslide Forum Rules & Etiquette'

Aug 30, 2022

Welcome to the Rokslide Forums,

The Rokslide forums are all about sharing information and communicating with others in a positive, upbeat atmosphere. Our forum posting rules are very simple: no whining, crying, sobbing, sniveling, sulking, bickering, slandering, name-calling, complaining, smart comments, or pouting! If you feel compelled to do any of the above, you could be banned without warning for violating any of our rules whether written, spoken, or implied here or other places on this site. We don't delete accounts either. If you are done with the forum just don't post anymore, and...

GENERAL ETIQUETTE REGARDING SHARING OF INFORMATION

1. This is a hunting forum, people are going to discuss hunting information, that is what the forum is and was created for. People are attempting to gain knowledge and people are attempting to share knowledge. How you specifically gain and share knowledge on a hunting forum requires a certain tact that many people either are ignorant to, or have not gained knowledge of, the following suggestions may help you gain or share knowledge on the Rokslide Forum.
2. Do not make your first post asking for knowledge of certain areas. Every year the members of Rokslide see the same posts regurgitated over and over again that look something like this....... "Hey guys, I drew unit 1234567 tag and never been there where is the best spots to go?" 90% of the time, this is the user's FIRST post, and many times their last post as well, as they never return to post on the forum again. People are more likely to share information with people they somewhat trust, (as much trust as u can give someone on an online forum anyway) that they have seen contributing to the forum, posting and commenting for some time etc. I guarantee there is a difference in the amount and type of feedback someone gets who posts the above question as their 1st post vs someone posting the same questions and it's there 500th post. In general I’d say make an introduction post, some congratulations comments or thanks for any helpful info you find, use the like button instead posting something like “good, okay”. Show some enthusiasm and initiative towards the hunt your asking questions about also gratitude to those who answer. Oh, a trip report is a great way to show thanks to the guy who shared their information with you.
3. Now unfortunately we aren't letting FNG's (new guys) post up unit specific questions. Any unit question/answers remain out in the world wide webs forever, which can doom some really great spots.
   The expectation is that all Rokslide members will understand and support this concept and take all such conversations to private message.
   Yes, it's a hassle to join and be part of this community but the rewards are worth the effort including the ability to send and receive private messages.
4. Posting specific unit numbers, while not against the rules for even for members in good standing, is still sometimes frowned upon by members depending upon the context of the post. A good rule of thumb to follow when discussing specifics of a unit is to ask for Private Messages or share information in private messages. While posting specific unit numbers is frowned upon, posting specific drainages or trailheads are grounds for much worse from the rokslide community lol. Use your common sense, use private messages, etc. we are all in this together and to help each other.
5. We have all always heard the old saying, Who, What, When, Where and How. When sharing information Roklside encourages it's members to let people know the Who, What, When, and How. but generally leave out the where.

My bad. I apologize for not reading that part of the rules.
