The Elk Thread

[ThePecosBilly]

I didn't draw Montana again this year. Area I hunt is special archery bull elk draw and it's about once every 3 years to draw. I thought about Colorado but I'm clueless about hunting there. All my western hunting has been Wyoming and Montana. Also I have all the gear DIY hunting out west if anyone is hunting an area I can get a tag still and is looking for an extra hunter to tag along.

Try talking to Comalander. I set down with him about 2 months ago to pick his brain all things Colorado. He appears to have a good grasp of at least 2 OTC units for Elk, but its going to be bow hunting in 12,000+ elevations. So expect a scenario that will be tougher than Pine Ridge Unit.

Recently took a trip out to the unit ACook and I drew this year. Here are some pictures from the cameras we had out.

Shoot, sounds good to me! Have you been in 17 yet to do any scouting or are you guided?

Non guided

Not yet, had a 4 day planned couple weeks ago but life happened and couldn't get out there. Hopefully next weekend then again in August.

Big fire in 17 right now. 42k acres gone.. Locals say it was mostly a slow ground fire so it might be really good if they get some rains soon

I was thinking about taking cameras but I didn't want somebody walking away with them, you ever have problems?

Pay attention to the times on the cameras.

We've never had problems, but ACook put locks on them so if someone wants them they are going to have to work for them.

I was a little surprised when I drove through Magdalena that they were selling fireworks. There was a long line too. All I could imagine is the that part of the state going up in flame because of a dumb firework.
