Not you, I meant Huntsman22. He's an old peckerwood too. And he has too many guns, counting only the ones he keeps on him.

Stay off Middle Mountain road over by Lake Vallecito. You'll see nothing but a Frickin sea of blaze orange.

slingblade: I hit the JACKPOT, one of the best videos I have found of the hike/hunt off the Durango Silverton RR in Unit 75, the 36 mile hike from Elk Park to Chicago Basin and then Needleton for train pickup again. Notice the mtn goats.

This will show you the terrain and what 74,75 and 751 is all about, of course not this rugged in all units. This hike was in Unit 75 perhaps Unit 751 also, when near Vallectio Creek.

I could not do it on the PM, 24hour web site kept loosing my connection...Grrr !

The train ride from Durango to Silverton. Stops are made at Needlton and Elk park, just tell them what day you want picked up after the hunt. Gear goes in cargo car, need coolers for meat, no blood on the car floor. Enjoy and have fun. HH Richard
