Hey all...
I've seen a bunch of posts lately about guys wanting to get together to hunt elk. I was thinking about MAYBE doing a group hunt with a few guys during Colorado's second season (October 21-29) in southern Colorado. It's a unit I'm not all familiar with, but near my house, so I'll be able to get down there a couple of times. I also have a bear tag that lets me hunt all of the rifle seasons (edit...I misread the regs and can only hunt the bear 2nd season, but I'll get down there to check it out), so I was planning on getting down there for part of 1st season. I was thinking about getting a small group together to hunt and camp and sit around the campfire. I will warn you, I'm not the greatest elk hunter in the world, so don't rely on me for a bunch of insight and advice. I plan on getting to the area a couple of days before the season starts to find a good spot to camp that's big enough to support a small group. I have 9 acres at my house, so we can do last minute sighting in for rifles. I have a cold room in my garage to butcher and a couple of freezers to get meat frozen for your rides home. I have full camp kitchen gear, as well as a porta crapper and portable shower. You would just need to bring your own camping gear. The weather is very unpredictable here, so it could snow on us, or rain, or be 70 degrees. We are all adults, so I don't expect anyone to demand an alcohol free camp. If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. I plan on having copious amounts of cigars and good food and laughs and stories around the campfire. I don't want to see any judgmental people. I don't get around the greatest, and I know some guys can hike for miles, but I don't want to see anyone giving each other crap about their hunting style or physical abilities or equipment. I would like to see us all sharing camp duties and not leaving a couple of people doing all the cooking and cleaning. Everyone bring food to share, especially local foods to where you're from for us all to experience.
This is a MAYBE, since it just kinda popped into my head the other day. I'd like to see what interest there is and get an idea of how everyone would get on and if this is logistically even possible.
I have a 5 bedroom 2 bath house, so I can put up a good number of people. I have a bedroom with a double bed and set of bunk beds, plus a couple of rooms with queen size beds. Depending on how many are here, someone would get stuck in my daughter's old room that's girly as hell lol
I was thinking that if anyone wants to bring a spouse or significant other, that would be cool too.
OK, I've rambled on...just kinda throwing ideas out
Let me know....
It's an OTC bull tag
