texastrophies Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have a few questions. First, is this thing still on, haven't heard or seen many comments on it lately, less than 2 months now? If the answer to the first question is yes, please continue. I have a 4x4, are tire chains necessary? required? 2 tires or 4 tires? I have a 4 wheeler, should I bring it? Will anybody have room for me to throw my cot & sleeping bag in there tent? In one thread there was a mention about contributing to the meal cause, any more info on that? That's all. (for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) Yes the hunt is on Jeff and I believe there will be room for you in a tent. The other questions can best be answered by others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) TT, Tire chains are always a good idea to have for camping in the High Country in October. The weather is hard to predict but most likely there will be some snow on the ground. And it should shock no one if you got a foot or more of snow. When that happens you will want tire chains. A 4 wheeler can be valuble for getting around but remember it is illegal to take them off of a designated road or trail, even to retrieve game. it is also quite common to hunt in tshirts in the afternoon in October. Be prepared for anything. Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) I got a few questions as well. Is this place where we are camping...is it like a camp ground that has showers or bathrooms. I can't imagine trying to stay scent free without a shower for over a week. Just wondering!

VermontHunter Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) If there's NO showers available, I'm sure NOT jumping in any lakes thats for sure,,,,, I guess we'll just have to make like a bird, and take a dust bath...

I guess heating water and washing that way may have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifleman25 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) I have hunted for years in Wyoming and northern Colorado. If you can get past the first 3 days you don't even think about showering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertip_co Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Re: THE GREAT COLORADO ELK HUNT (Part II) Not a campground. Its BLM/NF Lands, free camping. Heat water and wash in a tub type of camping. If you wear two layers of long underwear the odor cant get out. Or jump in the lakes there, it cant be that cold if theres no ice on them. Good luck and hope to see you there... [ QUOTE ] I got a few questions as well. Is this place where we are camping...is it like a camp ground that has showers or bathrooms.
