Any one hunt the Gunnison CO. area
 

Looking for some info from hunters who have hunted near Gunnison CO. I am going to either buy a tag left over else where or buy one over the counter near Gunnison. Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks:

My father and his buddy hunted near gunnison last year. My father called in a nice 5x5 that his buddy ended up shooting at 7 yards. However the area they were in was just changed to a draw only area so check the map careful before you buy your tag

an elk tag? bow? rifle? mule deer?

hunted there years ago with a buddy living there at the time, we really didn't know what we were doing...saw a few cows one morning...no luck.

which unit? which season?

Elk is what I really want or mule deer, my second choice. I think Rifle or muzzle loader. I might even settle for a cow tag as I want the meat, mmmmgood!:s4::s4:

My family has elk hunted unit 67, south of Gunnison, since 1967. We do very well during rifle season, used to go 2nd season but now they hunt first season. I haven't rifle hunted with them for several years now, but my wife and I went camping in the same area just 2 weeks ago and saw elk from camp.
SO if unit 67 is on your radar, PM me and I can maybe help ya out.

Thanks alot Howler. I def. will get back to you. I have a cousin that lives in Denver and he goes every year he can. He always buys left over tags but he has hunted unit 67 before. He was at a funeral two weeks ago and he said they saw a lot of elk down there(67). My cousin is setting everything up for us but any info I can get, will be appreciated. :)
