The Elk Thread

I think I'm just going to put in for cow tags this season.

Ran the 2nd of 3 trail races this morning in the pouring rain and slop, it was a complete mess...and a lot of fun. Only a few more months until Train to Hunt Challenge course in Denver.

Are those the same as the pack challenge? Some guys at work were talking about a course race involving packing out various weights.

If Denver wasn't so far I would do the train to hunt challenge. But that's a long way for something like that

I hear you, it is only 12 hours for me. I spoke with Kenton the other day, they are 95% sure there will be a Texas challenge next year. I've got a few guys going this year, I am going to make it a four day deal. Bring a big Texas flag and burn some meat and make it a fun deal for everyone.

Ladrones, I think you are talking about a GoRuck challenge. This is more like a bow biathlon.

ttt lots of interest in elk hunting lately.

Spent a few hours this week on Google Earth, got about three drainages to check out this summer. I'm going to make at least two scouting trips this summer, and the diaphragm calls came back out.

Looks like I'll be returning to Folsom, NM for an early season archery hunt with some buddies! Maybe get to see the Mountain Man in action this time.

Looks like i'll be headed to colorado this year. Looking at the holy cross wilderness. Anybody have any info on the holy cross or the area in general.
May end up being a solo trip.

Boomer, which unit?

I have a question about the hunter education requirement for Colorado. Would I have to go through the course that Colorado provides, or does my Texas hunter Ed card work?

[TexasBear]

The Texas program works.

Any hunter ed card will work.

I will probably be doing 371 this year, just north east of there. Lots of folks, lots of elk, but I have hunted for a week twice and never come across anyone else off the trail. When it comes to getting off the trail and up in the thick stuff many people can't or don't want to.
