Groundhog cut off road is the road we used to get back as far as we could before setting a camp. There were a few other camps set back in there. We did talk with a few of them and learned they had hunted it for 15+ years having some success. Terrain is very easy compared to alternatives and...
Hey there, will send two separate messages since I'm limited in characters.
It's been 4-5 years since I hunted 71 (OTC at that time), but am happy to share some notes. That year we had 71 as a back up option from our primary, so we only got 3 full days of hunting in. With that said, we hunted...
SMW is correct. I was referring to alternatives as in OTC with 78 being a draw. Sounds like you have figured out GoHunt in selecting archery OTC to see what options you have. Sounds like you're on the right track. Best of luck this year.
A little against your post, but would recommend adding a 3rd state to your point purchasing. You can bet on change when it comes to difficulty of drawing. OTC will eventually be lost and it becomes a rotation of states for those looking to hunt out of state each year. Personally, I would add...
You will have to look into alternative Colorado options if you have no points and would recommend GoHunt for looking at your odds. Happy to answer any questions you have on which units you could consider this year.
I owe a couple of apologies to those who did follow up me with no response on my end. Ended up on RokSlide and to be honest dropped the ball in logging back into this forum. For follow up, I did hunt Unit 81 for a couple years and had success getting into some elk. Like any area, it takes a...
Rolling the dice this year on the breaks as well. Hunted Central Montana last year and struggled to get on them due to the drought. Looks like your a fellow Iowan and have hunted similar spots. Would enjoy connecting sometime if/when you have the time. Good luck!
Looking to connect with someone familiar with Elk in GMU 81 Colorado. First time in GMU 81 for me. Have pre-scouted aerials and access points. I would appreciate connecting with someone who bow hunts this unit as that's my plan. Sounds like there is heavy pressure, but given the amount of ground...
Hey everyone. Looking to connect with someone on Colorado's unit 71 and 73 for early archery season. 74 was on the list, but with current conditions it seems highly unlikely. Living in Iowa makes it challenging to begin frequent scouting. Having said that, we've spend endless hours e-scouting...
