COLORADO UNIT 55
 

Has anyone ever hunted this unit? Did you have any success? I am looking at an outfitter that hunts this unit and since I have never hunted it before, I was looking for some comments. Thanks.

The unit is huge - Its kind of like asking what the hunting is like in Rhode Island. It depends on where you are in the unit. Is it private or public land?

It' s in the Gunnison National Forest, northeast of Gunnison.

Have any of you ever hunted unit 56 northwest of Salida? What is the Elk hunting like in that area? I just drew an either sex archery tag for this unit, and any info would sure help. I have never hunted Elk before, but I am sure looking forward to it!

:)Tough unit. I hunted this unit last year and drew a tag this year also. I hope the draw helps nock down some of the pressure. I didnt hear a bull once and didnt see an elk until day 4. I shot one but after six hours of following good blood, it snowed about 1 inch. I am going back for revenge.

Iminrut,

What time during the season do you plan on being here-it makes a huge difference? If you come early, hunt high. If you come later, still hunt high. Generally the elk will be around 11,000 feet. Take a look at some of the areas north of Cottonwood Pass. Plan on walking your arse off! Get in the best shape of your life.

I am either coming the the first week or the third week, the one after muzzleloader season. I take it very seriously and get in the best shape I can be. I am coming out in a couple of weeks on a family vacation, cant wait to get back to the mountains,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
