Hi all, I livei in Colorado and am leaning towards the DIY bull hunt. I've hunted North of Gunnison and had good luck there. My only issue is I have CHF and getting the elk (if I'm that fortunate) down to my truck coudl be an issue. I guess I could bring a lighter and a loaf of bread and eat it there lol Kiowa Hunting used to have inexpensive cow elk hunts but those are gone /sigh.

I would try and find a couple of 20yoa lads that want to learn the ropes.

Offer them room and board, experience and knowledge.

For packing.

I would find some of my friends with strong backs and weak minds.
I've thought about the same lines as you. But I'd take a salt and pepper shaker and a roll of toilet paper

You might seriously think about a RFW hunt. The ranches I've hunted on, drive you around the ranch in a pickup or a side by side. When elk are spotted up stalk up on them and if you make a kill. They drive their vehicle with a winch on the roll bar in their bed and winch the elk into the back. It depends on the ranch, they have different rules.

Thanks I'll look into the RFW hunts.

Chuck,

I did a RFW for deer between Meeker and Craig. I saw a lot of elk and quite a few deer. RFW hunts require quite a few preference points, but I thoroughly enjoyed the hunt. I doubt I’ll ever see that much game again.

Thanks I'll start drawing been ahwile

Some ranchers or guides will pack your kill on their horses for a hundred or so..pre arrange that.

Thanks Ray I'd rather DIY it almost always have.
