Exclamation Been There-Done That

I hunted Unit 67 last september in La Garita Wilderness. Burned up all points on a muzzleloader tag-outfitter was more interested in$$$ than our hunt and our success. Saw elk, everything was above timber line and it was a tough climb every morning. 4 hunters in a wilderness base camp at 10,400 feet- no success-none would recommend our outfitter to friend or foe. we hunted just north of the continental divide along Cochetopa Creek in the La Garita wilderness. There is a trailhead on The Skyline Trail for access to the area. If you are young and in good shape, you can find elk there. we saw a couple of big ones, but with no trees for cove up there all we could do was look at a distance. Not much oxygen up there. We are going to go into Unit 24 with over the counter tags in 2nd rifle this year. Any tips on that unit would be helpful. We'll be east of Meeker.
