[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 637600, member: 505"] 86 is a good unit with a lot of elk. It is good from end to end from the sand dunes to Salida. I have backpacked the crest of the sangres end to end in that unit. The archery and first rifle season timberline is good and you should have no problem finding elk about anywhere you top out that looks elky. Get a topo and get on google earth and find some hanging basins up there that have food, cover and water and you will do well. The ones with the dark timber coming right up into them are very good first season. They like the easy escape routes but early morning and evening you can catch them from above coming out to feed at the tops of the timber in those hanging basins. Glad you are in shape because the tops of the sangres can be some tough hunting. The rewards are good though if you stay with it. [/QUOTE]
