Anyone hunt this unit in the last couple years? Applying with max points and would like some help if I draw. Thanks
A good portion of those studs were taken on private... Do your homework before cashing in max points.There have been some stud bulls taken out of 16 in the last few years. You won’t be disappointed if you draw the tag.
hunted the q 3 or 4 years ago....its not that great...tons of elk but wild as hell...missed a 360 at 400 yards in the wind that blows constantly so i really cant bitch...you aint gonna drive up on one...huge herds 3 miles from the road but no access....if you are young and can walk 3 to 4 miles to try to kill one in OPEN country this is your hunt...lodging and food is excellent...blew $6500 plus 11 points for a 270 bull...i was the last elk hunter out of 3 that scored on mediocre bulls...there were deer hunters showing up soon and they wanted me gone so they could have some time off...if i had to do it over again i would hunt unit 7...saw few deer...biggest was about 150...im 65 and have killed about 20 elk counting cows...killed a 340 in valle caldera in nm...if you DRAW that tag call me i know a guy...575-799-5342As mentioned above, a lot of the biggest bulls head to the giant Q Ranch. Some bulls head completely out of the unit late in the year if there is deep snow. There are roads scattered all over the public with lots of cow hunters...so be prepared. It can be a fun hunt if you do a lot of prep work and are a little lucky!
