Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Anyone ever bowhunt elk Colorado Unit 62?

After all of this years draws I did not hit on any tags. My buddy and I are considering driving from Mississippi to Colorado and archery hunting unit 62.
Has anyone hunted that unit? Will it be crowded with bow hunters?

I was in there last year, but rifle hunting 61. Most of the bow hunters were congregated up on top in HUGE camps with ATV's etc. Hunt during the week and you will be fine. Leave the ATV's home, because there aren't many trails or roads. It is a foot soldier/bow hunters dream. I like the unit a lot and will hopefully be hunting it this year if the funds work out.

I have been trying to draw in 61 for 4 years now. For residents it usually takes about 8 points to get a drw for this area for bow season. 62 is an OK area just a little harder to bowhunt where we were a few years ago. We were on the boundary and could see all the Elk in 61. So we were bummed.
