[QUOTE="GrayCreed, post: 2405340, member: 114633"] Let me put this out there (I'll try not to rant) Units 18 and 24 So 24 is part of the flat tops which where the largest elk herd in Noth America roams. Apparently there are so many elk there that CPW is failing to reduce the elk over the last couple of years to their goal point. Problem is with all the outfitters and people with ATVs allowed up there it's very difficult to find elk because they all go to the next county as soon as the first shots fired on opening day. I'm not an expert by any means on this elk thing but I'm the kinda guy that when everyone runs north I go south. Don't know why.... I just think that going to a unit no one else wants to that before the fires was a top unit in Colorado for hunter success (of the units that can be had with 1 or less points) would be a great idea. If I was going to to hunt Colorado next year that's what I'd do. Plus, there was a video that came out that CPW shot from a helicopter that showed huge herds of elk were right back in the burnt areas this past fall. 18 is a decent sized unit so you'd need to be able to do some serious scouting to locate where they are before setting up camp. Another good point is you could possibly still buy the 18/181 tag on the leftover list if next year everyone still thinks that it's no good. [/QUOTE]
