[QUOTE="WyomingShooter, post: 180309, member: 9529"] Your in as good a country as there is in the state. Other areas around the state just as good with over the counter tags but since you have some inside there I would concentrate on it. Below Pagosa in 771 and 78 it is much better in the later seasons after some good snows have pushed them down out of the high country. There are local elk but it really gets good late. In the early seasons I would hunt above Pagosa in the headwaters of the Piedra or pack in the northern parts of 78 in the high country nw of Wolf Creek Pass. I have backpacked a good bit of that country between Valecito reservoir and Wolf Creek pass. There is a good elk herd with as good a bulls as there are in any over the counter unit. I just don't like being dependent on the snows and hit or miss below Pagosa and rather just go early above. Although there are local herds below it can be super if you get the right snow in the third or fourth season. I would suggest applying for a deer tag there while your elk hunting. You having your own horses helps a lot since you can move around a bit and not dependent on a rental. I would get there early and do some day trips moving around that country until you find them. Can't do that with a rental. [/QUOTE]
