RE: Best unit in Colorado
Waiting 10 yrs to draw and elk tags would not even be in my list. But have worked alot of limited draw areas and I believe it has nothing to do with what unit you hunt but what are in that unit that you hunt. Some open units have unique areas that are hard to get into and those area's produce some big bulls just as their limited unit counter parts. I like the San Juan Wilderness it's rugged and has plenty of big bulls hidden in the remote parts. I do agree however that some units are controlled enough to see big bulls walking on the outskirts of towns but that's not exactly what i want in my memory bank, the picture of me stopping my truck getting out and shooting the bull of my life nahhh. Let someone else who wants to draw for 10-20 years have those. I'll take my chance everyyear out in the open units. I say 78,80,81 are the ones to look towards in the future. Hunters are getting lazy and the elk know it.
