I am going to draw 1st rifle elk in colorado next fall 13. Well at least according to last years points I should. Was wondering how you ended up doing in 11 or 12? I'm looking at hiking into a...

I also have points to draw 66 this year but not vacation so looking for archery or 2nd rifle 2013. I'm also interested in getting a packer or drop camp but not guided. If you get any good information...

i'll be there looking forward to it

Steve are their any/many grizzlies in that area? I will have 3 PP going into 2012 and plan on applying for region G. I like to backpack hunt and get away from crowds. I don't mind hunting and...

those are some great animals! I decided since I couldn't hunt archery or first rifle this year because of work I would just get another preference point this year and hunt there or 66 next year...

Thanks for info RUTTIN...what about it is not as comfy as your badlands?



Thanks

Ok thanks Woodtick I'll be sure and do that if I draw it!
I have heard good things about Cottonwood Ranch outfitters, maybe someday I'll be able to afford a guided hunt

I will try that with Biologist its my experience, albeit limited, that they are better to talk to than fish and game more willing with information but it could just be my experience also. I read the...

woodtick I am looking at that unit also. I got some maps look like some good wilderness land that a guy if he is willing to hike and can get in the backcountry. Let me know if you get any good info...

I read somewhere that the elk tend to stick to the east side of the wilderness area??? Haven't decided if I'm putting in for the archery tag or first rifle.

Im getting a new pack and down between the BW and Blacks Creek Canadian..Ever used the Canadian?

Dito got myself a Gunnison basin map I located pauline creek. Looks like it source goes into the La Garita wildnerss have you fished in the wildnerness area or outside of it? I like wilderness area...

I'd like to add something significant but mntguide summed it up. I used to hunt 34 and 35 and like he said the Wolves have taken over. I started hunting Pioneer zone now and although wolves are still...

Unfortunately my scouting will be limited to map work, googlearth, phone calls and forums like these. I just got my Pike and Gunnison national forest maps in the mail to help me narrow down some...

Anyone hunt or put unit/s in Jarbridge wilderness? I'm only on my 3rd year applying so not expecting to draw was just curious

Definitely getting cabin fever...under 6 months till archery opens..not sure how I'm going to make it that long. Just use the extra energy to train harder for my solo central Idaho backpack hunts

Graybird I was wondering if 2nd rifle season if you can usually(i know you can't predict the weather exactly) still get up high and off the roads or does the snow push everything down by then? I'd...

Hey thanks for the info Dito and Graybird I appreciate it

Nice pics. I just tried this pack on today but still can't decide between it and the blacks creek canadian. I have been using the badlands and have had same problems with zippers noise etc. Where you...

Rugged country is what I'm after. Because of some military obligations I can only make the 2nd rifle season this year although I prefer archery so I'm wondering what the high country will be like...

I have been putting in for 38 but have heard some good things about 39 and 45 also

Awesome animal thanks for sharing the picture. I put in for big horn archery tag didn't get it again this year but always next year!

Codes where u from in SD? Your moving in right direction. I grew up in Beresford moved to Idaho in 2003. You will love the west

Thanks for the review. I am between this pack and the blackscreek barbarian fetherlight and canadian. I have tried all three on in the store and I thought at first impression the canadian was most...

Nope just point again this year. Always next year! Got lots more states to get lucky!
