Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Colorado 1st elk season

Will be putting the outfitters tent up today and may give each stake a few extra swings. Forecast for our area is 50 mph winds on Monday. Been thru same before in it, but it does makes things interesting. Good luck to everyone, stack em up.

Fred (BeanMan) lead him to a big bull, bang... flop, you can do it ! I wish you good luck in Unit 61. Hope the back is strong. Hungry Horse

I went up and hung out at elk camp this past weekend with my family and friends. They had one bull and one cow down opening day and I heard more shots yesterday morning toward where they were so may have gotten more down. Bulls were bugling and chasing in the cool part of the day. I figure they'll all fill out by Wednesday if they stay vocal.

Just heard from Jeanne Horn of J Bar H Outfitters in unit 12. She says that they are having one of the best seasons ever. Warm weather is not hampering the hunt. She shows a picture on her web page of a cooler full of elk. Can't wait to get up there for the third season.

Hunted 47 with a group who's been going for 30 years. They said this was the worst season they can remember. Guy in our group missed a big 6 opening day an a 4x5 was killed in the same area. After that, nobody saw a single elk. Heard they had already moved down into their winter range.
