Hello all, Colorado native here new to the forum. I was lucky enough to draw an archery tag for unit 76 this year and have all of sept off of work. I haven't been able to get down there yet to do any pre scouting yet. I have a few places picked out from e-scouting. I am hoping to chat with someone who is familiar with the unit about my spots. I will be solo backpack hunting and hope to discuss spike camp locations, tactics, and such. Thanks for reading

Let me first start off by not being a douche and hitting you with the standard super sarcastic and unwelcoming “Welcome to HT” comment”...
Anyhow, I hunted 76 last September. Shoot me a pm and I’ll give you some details. Good luck!

I have never drawn a tag in 76, but live near it's Eastern border. A few years ago, there was a massive forest fire in portions of 76 that burned all Summer.
In it's aftermath there may be some downed trees to negotiate, but also a lot of feed growing up now. That draws Elk as they still have cover, but a plentiful food source.
It's been a dry Summer overall, although we did have some showers in July. As a result, some water sources may have dried up, as they sure have near my ranch. So, bear in mind that Elk won't be too far from water sources.

Ha. Cush can handle it and can dish it out.
It is fair and accurate to say if a guy is quickly jumping on each new poster, asking about a tag with
“Welcome to HT” is in fact sarcastic, and yeah kinda unwelcoming. I understand the sentiment but it is not necessary to always do that sort of thing. Especially when the calling it like is says “pm me I had the tag and will help” Lots of integrity in that....
