Elkfreak,
Thanks for the info. I am very familiar with the Gould area as my parents stay there every year for 1-2 months. Your right about the fishing its supurb in the creeks and high mountain lakes of that region. I have only hunted near montrose and would love to find a ranch in north park so dad could do some scouting in the summer. Other alternative is to hunt Routt NF but I would sort of like to ensure that I have some elbow room while hunting.

I will definetly contact the folks at Black Elk. Did anyone in your party take an elk during your hunt?

thanks again
