Can't make up my mind.....any info?
 

I am going to huntOver The Counter Elk in Colorado the last week of Archery season (Sept. 16 thru Sept. 24). I can't decide if I want to go to unit 22 or units 14,214. Any info about these areas would be very helpful. I have hunted Colorado several times, usually in draw unit 23, however, I am still looking for a good over the counter area for when I don't get drawn for unit 23. Thanks for any info.

Trial and error my freind,just pick one and hunt it.
From what I hear Colorado has elk behind every tree,way more than we have in Montana,one behind everyother tree here.:D
If you have been to Colorado befor,go to the area thats closet to where you have been before.If not look for a area that has good cover,decent access,water,food and timber.OR I would look at harvest reports of those area's the area that has a large harvest number,thats where I would head(or that could mean more pepole but at least some elk there).

1elkhunter,

I agree with BareBack Jack! I would pick Unit 14, just a hunch! Plus it divisable by 7 my lucky number!

I dislike hunting (elk) new places and areas. It takes so much time to hunt a new area and the seasons are so short. Don't always have time to go out during the summer and scout.

I get comfortable with an area and like to stay with it.

I also hunt CO GMU 23.

Thanks, for the replies. I am getting tired of hunting new places also. Every year, I say that I am not going to go if I can't go to the unit I want, but then the urge to go elk hunting gets the better of me. I still think that a bad day hunting is still better than not hunting at all. Even the worst trip that I went on was still a good hunting trip. So, I will keep on hunting somewhere, even if its not were I prefer to go. Thanks again.

1elkhunter,

New is good and it can be quite rewarding.... remember do something that scares you![&:]
