Elk Hunt Go or Not Go?

[Split Arrow]

Go. I went on an elk hunt for the first time last fall and had an awesome time. I've already applied to go again this year... can't wait to get the draw results!

[TxCazador]

Go for it!

The fee includes private land access, a house to stay in and the fee for our tags. I called them yesterday and told them to put me down. Now I just gotta hit the gym a little harder to get in shape.

In order of importance:

1. Cardio
2. Cardio
3. Cardio
4. Strength/muscle building (lower and core)

good call and good luck.

It took me 8 years of hunting on my own with a bow on public land in Colorado to shoot my first elk. It is an adventure every time.

Now that you are going, get in shape. You don't need to lift weights, you need to run and climb stairs. The only year I have been in really good shape up there, I would ride my mountain bike as hard as I could every day for about an hour. Other years I tried running and the eleptical, but they weren't as good.

Uuuummm is this some sorta trick question?

GO!!!! If you can afford it. And we will see you next year too. Oh and learn how to use a mouth call.

If you are hunting outside of delta, you will be hunting the east side of the Unc. Plateau. That is an OTC tag area. If the fee comes with private land or access to landlocked public with the cabin, I would say do it.If it doesnt,save the extra $1k just get a good tent and camp for free as there is a gazillion places to hunt and camp in that area.....I know, I only live 30 minutes away.

Could not agree more. I used to live in Grand Junction years ago and there is some really nice country to hunt along the western slope of Colorado. Go for it and enjoy that beautiful country during a fantastic time of year!

Are you toward Junction or Montrose? I grew up in Olathe. God's country!

Hmmmm I hear that a lot....God's country? When you ponder on that..even in the middle of the Sahara Dessert and even in the middle of Kansas thats also Gods country. In fact its all His country. He created it and rules over it...We just get a short term lease here..... He seems to really like the mountains.
