  1. Steve HI sorry I just saw this in 2022. NO I am out of s/w Pa I am Charlie's friend who had contributed to the possible Realtree elk camp in 2017 I believe. It never materialized though. I do not have a paper booklet for Coloradosince then, so I cannot speak with accuracy. There may have been changes since 2017. Will Nelson with whom is host for the Elkatraz hunt camp whuch Ckarlie use to hunt with sometimes, will be in Pagosa Springs in 2022, and it was a draw for archery elk I believe in 2022. Just a heads up on that potential hunt group It is to late to apply anymore for 2022. HH Richard
  2. Don't you live & hunt in Durango?  Is that a general elk area? Or do you need to draw for 1st season bulls? I'm at [email protected]. I just don't get on here much any more. Have no idea why.  Steve

      HI Steve:  5/28/20  Sorry it took me so long to see this.  Not on much anymore.   I live in s/w Pa.  I only have hunted Colo in Oct- Nov  1970, when stationed at Ft Carson Colo.    1st and 4th rifle season in Colo for elk is always a" Draw" tag.  I do miss hunting Colo and have been their several times...  but on ski trips and vacations with the girlfriend.  I only know Colo hunting through my computer research,  scouting trips on fall vacations,  and Colo hunting friends that share info with me.  I have researched  the western states for over 20 years hoping to get back out for an elk hunt. As... I did here back in 2016 I think, with Charlie's... Silvertip thread...  I try to help other out of state hunters with good information to help them be successful...  and  not experience... just a camping trip.    Best to you & yours and good health to you... in Wyo & Alaska  !  HH

  7. Congratulations Hoytshooter ! Great tracking job and sticking to the task at hand to locate blood and then the long difficult tracking job to recover your buck on the neighbor's property. Also kudos to you for calling the neighbor and asking for permission to enter his land. The 30/30 Win has taken many deer, and I hope it continues to serve you well. HH
  8. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKJX4TaRy8s Here is a REAL backcountry elk hunt ! A bowhunt for elk in rough country in Colo...one of the best videos I have seen ! Enjoy ! 43 minutes long . HH
  9. https://www.gohunt.com/read/news/hunters-sound-off-about-colorado-elk-populations Looks like Unit 80 & Unit 81 are doing well from Colo Dow. Read the report as Colo residents sound off on elk populations to DOW. HH
  10. Found a thread that might be an eye opener for Unit 54 in the West Elk Wilderness. It is pretty disappointing for hunting results. Sure some folks score but on a general consensus... it is crowded, even in the Wilderness area. Please read through the thread and form your own opinon. http://forums.bowsite.com/tf/bgforums/thread.cfm?forum=5&threadid=393825#3927511 Now... a lot of the fellows were archery hunting, but many also rifle hunted the area in the past. Perhaps Units 53, 63, and 521 are not so crowded, but I imagine they have lots of hunters also. Respectfullly submitted. HH Richard PS scroll up to the beginning of the thread.
  11. pointing_ dogs: Great photos, friends and hunts. Very nice photos there. Glad you had a chance to enjoy your medical leave, and were successful on your hunts. Hope the healing & recovery goes well. HH
