[QUOTE="mike33, post: 979055, member: 14195"] Its bugging me I cant remember exact part I hunted. I can tell you coming from Grand Junction way in. After you go up all those steep switch backs and get to top. It took 30 + minutes to get to cabin pulling a trailer with 4 wheelers it was so bouncy probably drove around 25. His cabin we rented was down in from seeing distance on divide road on the 61 side. Im thinking I drove another 3-4 miles down the road and turned left hunted that area. I loved the area except games was scarce that year. I actually sat up my edge on my portable shooting bench had my kowa highlanders also sat up. I could definitely see a lot farther than I could shoot. There was 9 of us we took 1 small bull seen another legal one but couldn't get a shot. Seen very few deer. I was at like an intersection and a few locals actually stopped by and talked. They was the ones telling us the low rain fall that year the game moved away. One guy said about someone found a 400+ bull I think the year before on the 61 side that got away from a bowhunter. I would like top go back the cabin was nice everything we needed and convenient. We only paid 50.00 per night to stay there. Austin of course is a local rancher and outfitter real good guy. Someone even said they name one of the roads after his dad down on the 61 side. I really think with my age and waited to long to come out west I need to break down and buy a voucher, I will never probably be able to hunt 61 otherwise. I don't care to pay some of those prices but I would go 6k. [/QUOTE]
