Ha having drawn no tags of my own this year

I was all set to go be brush hound for my cousins deer hunt this next weekend. In fact, I took a 4 day weekend to help him. Talked to him this A.M. & I had the unit he is hunting wrong.

So at work at lunch, I was saying I guess he is really hunting unit 3. One of the guys says "well there's still a few cow elk tags for sale for that unit & season. :grin: who needs lunch I was half way across the parking lot by the time he stopped talking :grin:

I'm Going Hunting

Good luck!! I hope they have one or two left for ya to get. A cow Elk will eat just as good as a bull, just ask Greenmtnboy.

Amazing how much better life seems when your putting a coat of stock wax on & the items from your pack are spread out on the bed.

Imagine hunting hard for a week & seeing 1 spike buck & 6 or 8 doe. (Colorado unit 21 with unlimited tags.)

Now imagine waiting 4 years to get into that same unit, with a limited draw, and seeing 6 bucks on the 1st day! Seeing Bucks every day of the hunt! :wink: passing up VARY shootable bucks to wait for a better one :grin:

Colordao had unlimited out of state tags for almost all areas for years & years after other western states had gone to draw. When hunters DIDN;T draw in NM, WY, ID,MT,UT and othere states they almost ALL came to unlimited Colorado

We begged for limited draw, could it be done better yep, are our deer & elk better off with it? IMO YOU BET :grin:

 

[Patocazador]

I used to hunt out west when Colo. was like that. All I heard were horror stories so I hunted Wyoming and Montana. I also stayed away from Idaho because it was over-the-counter tags too. I never regretted that decision. When we would get drawn, we would hunt. Always had success except for a bighorn. Elk, moose, deer, and antelope were bountiful.

Have you ever hunted 3? I might be able to offer some suggestions if you're interested. I'm in 18 with my daughter this weekend for deer then she has a cow tag in 211 3rd season.

 

[Sean Gadhar]

I'm new to 3. And would appreciate any hints you could give. :bow:

Mostly hunted the mesa, 21, 10, & 42.
My Cousin will have scouted ..the retired bum :haha: but I think this is his first year in 3 as well.
Just tonight I waited until 5:30 to call him, he retired last year guess I don't have to wait till he is off work to call any more.

Anyway I would love some pointers
