Planning a solo archery elk hunt in unit 94 and probably returning in Oct. with a rifle. Has anyone had any encounters with grizzly bears in that unit? The habitat map shows this unit to be on the fringes of their range. Any other advice on grizzlies would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I'm looking to apply in 2019 in New Mexico's unit 18 for elk. This unit has much better odds for drawing a tag for nonresidents and the unit is archery only for elk. Elk numbers are low and the habitat has a lot of desert grassland and juniper. However, there's potential for bulls to get...

I'm heading out for an early season high country mule deer hunt and will be packing in 5+ miles to 12,500 feet elevation. This drainage is fairly narrow all the way to the top. The farthest I will be able to see is approximately 1.25 miles. I'm just pondering if I should lug 5 pounds of...

Anyone know where I can rent pack goats in the unit 65 area?

I am planning on my first early season archery mule deer hunt this fall on public land and was hoping to get some advice. The area I plan on hunting ranges from 9000 to 11000 feet elevation and has a lot of brush country. And some of the private land scattered throughout is open pasture. I...

I know it's not "big game" but they sure are fun to hunt. But does anyone have any advice on hunting Merriams in the Lincoln National Forest? I'd like to make a hunt this spring and also scout for elk. One day I hope to draw an archery tag for those units.

Had a hunt of a lifetime last year in CO. Here's my public land bull I got on day 1, hour 1. Hope to get it from the taxidermist this week.

I was looking to elk hunt an OTC unit, but the trail head I was planning on using starts in a draw unit and crosses over into a OTC unit. I planned on hiking in and setting up camp in the OTC unit approximately 6-7 miles from the trail head. I'm looking for opinions on this plan and any advice...

Wanted to get some opinions from you guys that have hunted both general units in Wy and OTC units in Colorado for elk. Are the hunts in the general units that much better than those OTC units. I'm looking for a quality hunt, which to me includes low hunting pressure and plenty of elk to hunt...

I have a question about Colorado's draw system. From what I understand, you get to keep your preference points as long as you don't get drawn for your first choice. So, let's say I want to draw a tag for a unit that only requires 2 preference points and I already have those points in hand. Would...

Anyone have opinions about units 57/58. I understand that it is a limited entry unit and I may have enough points to draw a muzzle loader tag for it. But, the success rates are about half of where I usually hunt in an OTC unit. Also, by the looks of Google Earth, it appears to be lower...

Can anyone recommend a local meat hauler in the Pagosa Springs area? I've done a Google search on "meat packers" and "meat haulers" and have had no luck. I am planning on contacting the San Juan National Forest office once they open this morning. I read that they sometimes have a list of...

I have 4 pp for Colorado and need some advice on what to do. I have gotten some real good information from a former guide on some areas to elk hunt. But the area only required 1 point to get drawn. I feel like I would be wasting my points by going for that unit. I am an archery hunter but have...
