    One thing about unit 30, it is very popular with the weekend ATV and side by side folks that live in the Grand Junction area or others that will drive to it. Most of the unit is what you might consider foothills with the higher areas on its boarder. There are good bucks in the unit that hang...

    When I had my unit 61 muzzle loader elk tag I didn't see a single deer up high. I think that they were all down low next to the fields.

    Also, if you have 13 points going into the draw as a group I would look into units that only require 11 or 12 points for better odds to draw.

    NRA

    That's one thing that I don't care about them. I upgraded from a yearly to a Life and then to a Patron member and they keep offering me a hugely discounted upgrade to Benefactor. All of the upgrades cost me less than 1/3 of what they normally cost.

    Rifle stock grips / angles?

    As CC mentioned it is what you are comfortable in shooting. I have shot a few rifles that have a more exaggerated pistol grip and just don't line them. They may be alright for more control in a AR type platform.

    Unit 62 NR Muzzleloader Tag?

    If you just have 4 points going in then you do stand a pretty good chance of drawing from looking at last years stats. The problems come when other decided to cash in on a lesser unit and come in with a lot more points, but even then there are enough tags to get you one or two tags with 4...

    Wolverine Reintroduction

    They would have to bring them in from populations up in the far north. One problem with them is that even where they have a good population they are very seldom seen. When I was hunting in a wilderness up in British Colombia I asked my guide about them. He said that it had been a dozen...

    Getting Started Elk Hunting

    The one problem with going with a outfitter to get your feet wet is that they usually have very good ground to hunt. Quite often it will be private where the normal hunter can not hunt without hiring the outfitter. But it is a way to perhaps see how to hunt elk, but with it being very good...

    Getting Started Elk Hunting

    What state are you looking at and what weapon? Colorado still offers quite a few over the counter either sex elk tags, but there are a number of units that are bull only. There are also quite a few OTC units for rifle bull hunts with 3 different seasons of varying lengths that you can pick...
