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

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

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.

http://www.summitpost.org/flat-tops/images/p-182948/p1 From summitpost.org/ Photos There are 3 pages of photos from the Flat Tops Wilderness area 73 total I believe I am offering as on Pg 1 Charlie had suggested perhaps a hunt in the Flat Tops White River National Forest might intrigue some folks. Well... here are photos from the area for your viewing. Anyone have any experience hunting here ? At one time... this location held the largest elk herd in Colorado, now I believe it is perhaps 2nd or 3rd largest elk herd. With heavy snows the elk migrate out of the high area into lower elevations. If you know the migration routes when that happens, heavy snowfall, you can see hundreds of elk. Click the photos in the gallery to see them larger with some explanation of the area. This area usually has a large population of hunters, but many elk also. HH Richard

http://www.toprut.com/hunt/colorado-elk-unit-53/ Unit 53 elk results for all seasons if you want to see how Unit 53 did in 2015 for comparison. 2015 was not a good year for Unit 53 vs 2014 and earlier years. Overview: 2016 was a bad year for most of Colo. HH Richard

http://www.backcountrychronicles.com/top-colorado-otc-elk-hunt-units/ Excellent article for 2017 elk hunts in OTC units for 2nd & 3rd rifle hunts in Colorado. Looks like results are based on 2015 results for number of bull elk killed and % hunter success.
