Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Colorado OTC

We are heading to unit 71 this year for 3rd rifle, is this a good unit hunting around Rico on the Dolores side. IS there some place else to look into?

I would think it is good, there are lots of areas to look into. It depends how you want to hunt (car, dayhike, backpack).

3rd season you might have some weather so that helps but the Elk are pretty nervy as well.

yeah we hunted out there 2 years ago and had elk the first day and then nothing. We will drive in early and hunt all day then drive out, might be alittle cold and weather is a factor I know. No road hunting we will pick a spot of the map and go.
