Season - 2021

3rd was an oldie that actually was wedged up under a big rock. Glasses it up. Snow melt or heavy rain must have washed it up under.

I am contemplating if a summer scouting trip down to the unit(s) I plan to hunt, is it really worth it?

I thought the shed season didn't open until May 1st?

From California, been hunting eastern whitetails with my dad for years but want to get out and hunt Elk. My dad always wanted to go but now with two replaced knees and same on the shoulders... he is pushing me to go after one without him. I have some family in Western Oregon so I am trying to get out there and go after a Roosevelt. Overwhelmed and a bit intimidated currently just due to a lack of knowledge of the area... we will see if that can wear away!

Tried to get on a friends hunt as a pack mule but he wasn't in need. Trying to gain some practical understanding.

Has anyone gotten their draw results for Colorado yet?

Planning a trip out to CO for OTC Archery Elk season. This will be our first trip out West. Any advice on Units or places to start would be greatly appreciated!

Upper Yampa (4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 131, 214,) has lots of public lands + elk pop. is higher than the target.

Planning my first trip out to CO this year. Trying for unit 43 first rifle in to draw, but I’ll brave the OTC horde if necessary. Just tired of eastern whitetail “hunting”.

Goodluck! I have looked at that unit alot just never been out to scout. Where are you coming from?

Thanks! No dice on the rifle, but a buddy is got a ML tag, so I'll take the bow and go OTC. Coming from north Louisiana.

I hunted this area last year for 2nd rifle. Didnt get anything but saw tons of sign. Dont stop moving till you get on sign and then camp on it!! moon phases for us meant elk were only out after dark. If i was to do it again i would spend more time out after dark, but i guess you will have to see if they are answering calls too

I'd like to know too. But I am going regardless. I figure the elk will be in a different place in the summer than when I hunt, but I can at least get a lay of the land. You can't see all the watering holes from aerial photos after all!

Last year was my first year ever elk hunting. I hunted OTC in CO during the 2nd rifle season, and there were a lot of hunters without much success. Hopefully this year will be better.

Awesome find!

Headed to the Montana units a buddy and I are hunting this afternoon for some scouting. First time elk hunters so our plan is to get to the way points I've e-scouted and have a look around. Certainly isn't going to hurt.
