Since No luck on Elk during the last 3 years of hunting 2nd Rifle Season in Western Colorado, this year I decided to try a different season. After researching lots of information and using goHunt INSIDER, we decided to apply for 1st Rifle Season (13-17 OCT 2018), GMU 4, Colorado. Based on the statistics from the INSIDER, we are at 100% chances of getting the tags, results should come out soon for Colorado. I absolutely feel the pressure now because I have a few Army friends coming up from TX to hunt Elk for their first time. Since I manage to motivate them enough to take the trip up here; I really want to show them a great hunting experience and if we get to tag a bull, that would just be the icing on the cake.
We are planning on hunting near/around Bears Ears Peak, Northeast from Craig, CO. I have used Google Maps and OnXMaps to further research the area. Also found a few YouTube videos of other hunters hunting that same area we are going into. I know this area has many roads and trails and we cannot really be like 3 or 4 miles away from motorized roads. I will also visit the area for camping as time gets closer.
I’m just looking for any tips or advise from other hunters who have firsthand knowledge of this GMU or area around Bears Ears Peak. If you were successful, maybe a pic or two of the bull or cow so I can stay motivated and keep thinking I made the right decision by changing GMUs to something totally different and a new type of season. If you do not want to share details here, you can PM me any specific info or email me (PM me and I will provide email). Thanks in advance for your time and for sharing info.
