Story of my first Elk (CO 1st Rifle 2019)
The next morning found me at the parking area well before sunrise. We are allowed on the property one hour prior to official sunrise and at that point it is essentially a race over to the area you want to hunt. For most people, myself included, this is the water source that I mentioned earlier...- HermanFromGA

Story of my first Elk (CO 1st Rifle 2019)
The next morning I was back at the parking lot watching roughly 100 elk feeding, bugling, and rutting around. With the elk bugling and coyotes howling, I was star struck and sat there for two hours before an officer stopped by and asked why I was not hunting yet. He checked my license and told...- HermanFromGA

Story of my first Elk (CO 1st Rifle 2019)
Okay it is time to finally sit down and write this hunt story. It is long (over 6000 words), but I wrote this more for myself, than you guys. I want to remember all of the details when I come back and read this a decade from now. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. Alright, lets go. After...- HermanFromGA

First Time DIY Unit 82 Colorado
I hunted that unit last year for first rifle and everyone is going to tell you the same thing: It is steep. I came out there from Georgia and underestimated it, even though I knew it would be the steepest place I had ever hunted. I literally could not get up into the drainages that I had picked...- HermanFromGA

First Elk Hunt Experience - How would you hunt this spot?
It's hard to describe how steep that mountain is that the bull was on. The "face" that you are referring to would be impossible to scale without a mile long rope. Like you said, I'm definitely storing this experience in the memory banks, especially being able to visualized how steep a location...- HermanFromGA

First Elk Hunt Experience - How would you hunt this spot?
I agree with all of you guys that walking in with the wind at my back was a dealbreaker, which is why I brought the scenario to you guys. I just could not figure out another way to do it and hoped the answer was not "find another bull". The day before I saw the bull I tried to hike up the...- HermanFromGA

First Elk Hunt Experience - How would you hunt this spot?
Hey guys, I just got back from my first Elk hunt in Colorado and had a blast even though I struck out. I was able to glass a nice bull from the trailhead on the second night of the hunt, but I had a very hard time getting to his location to hunt him. I wanted to get some opinions and advice on...- HermanFromGA

Central Georgia hunt: Piedmont NWR and Oconee NF
Hey frenchflorida I live in Atlanta and hunt a couple properties in the general area of the places you have chosen. I spent a few weeks hunting the ONF last year and saw a few deer. Like VAspeedgoat said, the later in the year you go, the tougher it is going to be. The ONF has a lot of old...- HermanFromGA
