    Solo Elk Hunt in Colorado: Am I About to Embark on a Glorious Disaster?

    A field dressed, skinned cow elk with legs removed at the knee averages 300-320lbs. If you're very good at boning out an animal you'll get to about 150lbs of meat to pack out. That will be at least 3 trips at altitude. Probably more. If you are bow hunting in September, the mornings are great...

    Starting Late in Life

    Welcome aboard. September 1st will be my 50th opening day. Still look forward to it as if I was 16 (legal age to hunt alone in PA). I live in Divide and am very familiar with units 511, 59, and 581. Been hunting them for 35 years. The issue with most of the responses is the people responding...

    Now you have me curious. I have never hunted elk in any state where there weren't bear and elk in the same area.

    Hotel in meeker co?

    You're going to need to contact them now. If their annual sheep dog competition and festival is on again this year (COVID cancelled it) you may not find anything. This is an extremely popular event in September! We bow hunt the area and have reservations for our motor home...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Big Fin is Randy Newberg. He owns the forum and he set the mission years ago and here's its intent- "I keep Hunt Talk around because it is a huge benefit to the WHY of our operation - To promote self-guided public land hunting and create advocates for that cause."...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    "if I roll in with a point or two over the required, as many have because they got tied up in chasing a unit that was creeping faster than they could gain on it, and 34 other people out of the 50K people who will see this also look at things in a similar way then suddenly your unit takes 7...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Reality which EVERYONE can read for themselves. Including the Administrator. The above are your exact words. You even acknowledge "in your own words" that the OP found the posted information in HIS forum thread helpful!! Did you even read Rule #3 of this forum which you agreed to abide by...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    I guess you guys didn't realize what this forum and Hunttalk were created for or what they're about when you signed up. Sending things by DM is great if you choose to. Although this forum wasn't created for that reason. It was created for hunters and potential hunters to ask questions of their...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Ok, I'll bite. Based only the "specific information" I have included about unit 511 please answer these questions? 1. Were the OP's original questions about a specific unit answered? 2. Are you encouraged to ever apply for these tags? 3. Where exactly in unit 511 would you specifically hunt or...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    I wouldn't expect much luck then. This unit is OTC elk for 3rd season. Everyone and their brother will be driving the roads literally everywhere. The does, which are usually comfortable being near roads all summer and early fall, learn quickly to disappear when they hear any vehicle or atv on...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Ha. This may tweak a few members. If you're hunting unit 22, I DO have waypoints and info for buck and bulls. We were there just a few years ago using 16 points for 4th season buck tags and we also had bull and cow tags. Sent elk waypoints to another forum member last year and he did great. We...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    There are potential trophy bucks in every Colorado unit. The reason 511 and other units like it don't blow up quickly or stay there for more than a year or two is due to the actual overall low success rate for taking one of those "trophy" bucks. Let alone the patience to even draw one of these...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Archery or rifle and which season if rifle? Let me know and I'll try to get you some info. Lots of show leather will help weed out areas and get you to find them.

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    Actually, just a bit of free advice, these types of units have become the "hidden gems" we all used to hope to find in the "deep woods". In Colorado at least, there are few to no hidden gems in the back country any more. I know many of the top outfitters in Colorado due to my "regular job". All...

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    New neighbors moved here from Louisiana a few years ago. Great family. Loves to hunt and we go out together often during the seasons. Seems he still hasn't adjusted to breathing at 9200 feet yet though. :ROFLMAO:

    511 Colorado Mule Deer

    No need to delete this post for the OP. If you're interested in hunting the unit, you can still apply for the unit too. You could be number 800,001 of the people who already know about the unit and explore this unit almost every day of the year.
