Elk Hunting advice
Outbackbob48:
Clint, just get serious and shoot a nice cow and eat elk all week . Jeb, these kids don't have a clue about Ham and M------ers. Talk about a flashback ugggh.
Hawkdancer:
Hey, wait!, we gave our LT a whole case of Ham & MFs one time! Mickey likes It! >:D.
Lot's of good equipment info going on! MREs aren't as good as LRRPs, but are easier to find! Any high fat/protein foods are good. I picked up some new info on this thread, but I don't plan to be more than a half mile from the vehicle!! I will be researching the stuff that has been mentioned! I would rate the water filters, fire starters, and portable tarps very high on the list. Get a Small game license and you may be able to get a grouse, as well. Wool and polypropylene fabric, goretex, make sure your. Boots fit well and are broken in!
If you are passing through Denver and laying over, let me know, and maybe we can get together for an appropriate beverage!

It will be a great adventure Clint. It is worth the trip if you come home with meat our not. Beautiful country that us flat Lander's don't see often. We seen a few elk on our trip but no shots, Beau did get a Mule deer doe but it would have been a great trip either way. I know you will love it. Just get in shape so you can enjoy. :) Lots of things to look at if you are physically to go look. Good advice on equipment above. We set up a nice base camp that we could drive to and then after a day on to , to get acclimated we spike camped in 3 or 4 miles. That made things nicer. We would stay in spike camp 3 or 4 days then come back to base camp to clean up and relax, also had a place easy to take care of any game we had taken, plus done some fishing. :) Fishing comes with the tag, at least ours did. :)

Those combination "Sportman's" tags were neat! Everything is separate now, except for the small game and fishing combo. I don't remember exactly when the switch was made.

I just went in 2018 and my Elk and Mule deer tag came with fishing included. I was in White River east of Meeker. ???
