Casey:
That was a fun video to watch. Thanks for posting it.
I've done a lot of hunts just like that one in the West Elk Wilderness, unit 54. I packed a couple of bulls out of the West Elk Creek gorge, when I was in my fifties. The terrain was as tough. Only the bulls were smaller.
Randy did that hunt in November. I will apply for the early season hunt, first week of October, during the peak of the rut. That early hunt is offered in both units.
I wish there was a video for the Upper Rio Grande. I'm still leaning towards unit 76 because I love the high altitude ecology.

I like the high country too, KC. Unit 61 is west facing and can be warm, even hot in September into early October--one reason I stopped archery hunting it back in the 80's. For a early October hunt, 76 would be more appealing. It's just that 61 is figuratively and literally my backyard.
