Volunteering for meat hauling around Steamboat, CO
Haha, I didn't really think about that aspect. I would say that if they caught me in their spot, where I helped them with their harvest, they could put me up for public shaming -

Looking really nice. Driving out on Wednesday; I have an archery tag and bringing dad for cow ML. Probably the first/possibly last elk hunt for us together before he can't hike the mountains anymore. Any advice on finding a cow for him would be appreciated. My goal is just to see an elk, and... -

archery 551
Hi redwards. I also am hunting archery in 551 and had the same concern. I asked a few of the mountain bike and fly fishing shops about the 551 area traffic and none seemed to think there would be much traffic in the area. However, I asked around Crested Butte, so that may not be the most... -

Contacting wildlife officer for hunt planning
Hi everyone, Planning a bowhunt/ML hunt with my dad in Colorado next fall, area 551. What time of year is best to contact the wildlife officers? I understand it may be somewhat contingent on the weather, but I also don't want to contact them when they are overwhelmed by people (immediately... -

Gunnison Archery Elk- 54, 551
Hi all, Planning an archery elk hunt in September of 2018 to Colorado. I have changed my search area and am focusing on 54 and 551. Any insight into these units as far as archery? I know it is not a trophy unit, and has OTC 2nd and 3rd rifle tags. We are just going for a family hunt, and... -

Westcliffe/ Salida Colorado questions
Which unit did you draw? I have done quite a bit of reasearch on 57/58 and have been in the area of Buena Vista and Salida. I also will be out in the area in August. I am considering a muzzleloader hunt in 2019 in 57/58 or possibly 561 or 82. -

CO 7, 8, 19, 191: Muzzleloader for dad, Bow for me
Thanks for the detailed response! I did look at the very high number of archery and muzzleloader draw tags, but also should have checked out the rifle hunting numbers. I think I may lean toward 57/58 in the south park area. It has fewer tags, but navigating the public land will have to be in... -

CO 7, 8, 19, 191: Muzzleloader for dad, Bow for me
Hi all, I am planning a 2019 muzzleloader family hunt for my dad and uncles; I will probably be using my bow. I am debating between 57/58 and 7,8,19,191 for the muzzleloader season. I have been researching gohunt, and the Colorado harvest and hunter data and have basically narrowed it down to... -

Colorado muzzleloader for dad: hunt in OTC archery unit or focus on draw only unit
Thank you very much. Everyone on this forum has been a wealth of knowledge, as well as detailed in their explanations. I have briefly looked at the statistics for muzzleloader, but didn't realize they have OTC archery hunter numbers and success rates also. I will definitely review the... -

Colorado muzzleloader for dad: hunt in OTC archery unit or focus on draw only unit
I have been focusing my research for a muzzleloader hunt on a draw archery unit assuming there will be less pressure during the muzzleloader hunt. The units I am looking at are 57/58 and had an archery tag quota of 180. We will be doing a basecamp and day hunts, most likely. Is it a good... -

Hunt: away from roads or state elk density spots
The muzzleloader hunt I am planning with my dad, and uncle is not an OTC archery (unit 57/58), but still has ~180 tags allocated for archery. I am assuming the pressure will definitely move the animals around before our muzzleloader hunt. I plan on stopping in the NF field office in Salida... -

Hunt: away from roads or state elk density spots
General e-scouting/planning question from a beginner. I am planning a CO muzzleloader hunt and have been researching areas on google earth, onX, and the interactive Colorado state game atlas. The Colorado state game atlas shows summer/winter concentration areas, and resident elk populations... -
