Wow, I didn't know I would get this kind of response in less than an hour. Here's what I'll do. I'll start a list with the first ones to PM me (limited to the first 5),and then another list in the order that I get your PM if someone decides not to come or just come for part of the season. I need to limit this camp to 6 at a time (including me) to keep it from getting too crowded. The area where camp will be is a chunk of about 6,000 acres of public land. I will set up the camp close to the road just so everyone can be more mobile and drive to different areas if the game isn't cooperating where camp is. There is plenty of public land in the area that can be hunted within 15-30 minutes drive from camp. Archery deer tags for here are always available but you must apply for them (or wait for leftover tags, but I would suggest applying for them) and elk tags are also available without preference points for some archery tags. There are 3 different archery elk tags for this unit. Either-sex, Cow, and bull. Don't even try for a bull-only tag as only 5 are issued and you need at least 3 preference points to draw. It's kinda confusing so go to the Colorado Division of Wildlife website:
www.wildlife.state.co.us for all info. on applying for tags. You can apply and pay for tags on-line. Oh, you must have a hunter education card to hunt in Colorado if born after 1949. There are a lot of regs and I want everyone in my camp to abide by them. Unfortunately, I won't be able to answer all questions so read the regs on line before applying if you're unfamiliar with Colorado game laws. For instance, party hunting (filling someone else's tag) won't fly here. There are also bear tags for this area that are unlimited with caps (sold over-the-counter until the're gone). Non-resident Deer tags (either-sex) are $319, NR Elk is $529 for either-sex and $254 for cow tags. NR bear is $254. You can get a small game tag but only coyotes and grouse seasons are open in Sept. Bunny season starts Oct. 1. The deer and elk archery season this year is Aug. 30- Sept. 28. Archery bear runs Sept. 2-28. When applying for tags, make sure you specify GMU (game management unit) 20. This is a CWD area so you must package meat before transporting and you can get animal tested if you desire (for about $20). Tradgangers can stay at my camp for part of the season or the whole season if you want. I will have to work during part of the season.
The first 3 on the list are:
Carcajou
Babaloo
sunny hill archer
I would like to keep this camp just for traditional archers so no compounds please.
