Unit 6 is an OTC archery elk tag, so many of the lucky elk hunters who had drawn tags in other places that were currently on fire opted to turn in their elk tags, thus saving their points… So there were elk hunters everywhere I was hunting moose! There were places I could get to if I worked hard enough, but I was hunting alone, and I feared loss of precious meat should I arrow a bull in said places.Īnother factor in the hunt had been the huge wildfires burning on three sides of the unit I’d drawn. In addition, the crazy blowdown situation had me a bit frustrated and discouraged. I had also taken a three-day hiatus to hurry home to see my wife, wash some clothes, grab some more groceries, and generally regroup. I’d hunted hard and had some close encounters but just couldn’t close the deal on a bull I wanted. Murphy, and as it turned out I showed up the day before the season opened towing a little camp trailer I’d borrowed from my neighbor, having had no opportunity to scout and only a vague idea of where I was going to start hunting the next morning. Overconfidence can kill you at times, as can Mr. No worries, though, as I planned on making several scouting trips and was confident in my abilities to locate a couple of good bulls prior to opening day. I had applied there for years but had never actually been in that specific unit. This moose tag, however, was for Unit 6, which is in north-central Colorado, on the Wyoming border. In that part of my home state, I’m fortunate to be able to hunt elk, mule deer, black bears, and turkeys literally in my front yard. I live in the southwest corner of Colorado, about 15 miles northeast of Durango.
