Unit #61

Can anyone tell me about unit 61 for elk hunting?

Unit 61 in Southwest Colorado?

Sorry .about that:) It would help if I said what State!! Wyoming. Am looking at putting in for that unit but would like to hear from the members that have hunted 61

Type 1 or 2?

Type 1...we would be applying for bull elk

I guess you mean next year because Wyoming already had the elk draw

61 is thick with wolves and grizzlies but there are also some great bulls in there. Most of the area is public land with good access. During the season, the elk are in some really rough country way back in the wilderness. With 61 bordering 58 and having a lot of wilderness area, you can be sure there are some bruisers in there. My father-in-law was chasing a 370 around there last season. I grew up hunting in 61 and it's not a place where a hunter often gets lucky. If you get a good bull, chances are you worked your butt off for it.

Have you hunted 61? It appears to have a lot of wilderness area which is what I like.... Sure appreciate your help!

Yes I have. I thought non-residents typically stayed away from units with a lot of wilderness... or are you using an outfitter?

I sent you a PM
