I lived north of there for years, still hunt the area.....Camp Hale is Unit 45 and is OTC, but is pretty tough in areas. If Cottonwood pass is closed, it is a decent back up area.
I'd ask the question "What terrain are you looking at?" High mountains with patches above timberline? If so I'd watch that with binocs and spotting scope to see what roams around during evening or early morning runs. At least you see if they are in the area. Lots of trees? Little more difficult...
Welcome! Shoot me a message with a little about yourself and hunting preferences, I'll do the same, at maybe we can meet at Bruce's after This years rifle season!
I'm looking for dedicated outdoors men and women in my are to connect with. Figured we could start talking, meet together at some point and start working on planning hunts, etc.

I'm just no a big fan of the "Latest and Greatest", you hear it every couple of years, "this is the greatest new cartridge in the whole world...", and people rush out and buy them......I'll keep hunting with my .308, 30-06. and .300 Win Mag. Just an opinion.

Some units are 4 point or above and some have no antler restrictions. In this case, her elk was in a no antler restriction, although it is a 4x3......sorry it took so long, haven't been on very much lately.
Lads, let me explain it this way....if you say you can't do it, you won't...period. I can do anything I put my mind to....This is not the first bull I have dragged out whole, and many of them over multiple miles......Snow helps a lot, but last years bull we drug well over two miles, no snow, on...
I know it's a repeat, but I am so proud of my wife, Anastasia......she got her first bull on her first try during a tough 2017 Colorado rifle season......The elk were tucked into the timber tight...she snuck up on this guy in his bed and got a 25 yard shot in the black timber, followed by about...
