Unit 201 CO elk tag

[wry]

It took 8 preference points and several years of applying but I finally drew a non-resident muzzleloader only antlerless cow elk tag for Unit 201 in Colorado. I'll be hunting with my flintlock. Has anyone hunted this unit? I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions!

I have not hunted 201 but Good Luck!!!

Wow that's a lot of patience for a cow tag!

Aren't there any elk in Montana?

Not me, that's much further west that we have been before.

Good luck!

Here is some feedback (bowhunters) on the three units in the NW corner of the state including 201. There are more threads on Bowsite/colorado forums. Bring good camera gear because you will see some monster bulls when hunting your cow and it should be a great hunt. congrats on drawing. http://forums.bowsite.com/tf/regional/thread.cfm?threadid=236586&messages=203&state=Co

VJM thank you so much for the info! It was most, most helpful! I appreciate your effort to help and I hope someday to return the favor!

No worries, if I hear anything more I'll send it along. Be looking for those success pictures.

jrmflintlock, yes there are elk in Montana--lots of them. I'll be hunting them there when the season comes in (last of Oct through Nov). This CO season is for muzzleloader only and it starts Sept 8. Unit 201 is exactly halfway between where I live in Montana and where my eldest son lives in Texas (about a day's drive for both of us). He will be accompanying me for this hunt. Great way to spend a week in early autumn.

Perfect!!

I know there are other units in Colorado you can draw ML cow with no points. That was why I asked.

Good Luck on all your hunts! I hope to see pictures!!

Bill glad you got the tag. Hope your hunt is fun time with your son and you make meat. Be looking for the pictures. Dan.

thanks for the encouragement several of you have offered! I'm trying to learn something about the unit and plan to do some pre-season scouting if I can arrange a trip down there. I'll be sure to post a report.

Unit 201 is legendary elk hunting unit. Thats why it took 8 points just for a cow tag.

Should be a great hunt. Good luck to you and your son. :hatsoff:
