Colorado Elk Hunting

Just wondering if anyone would share information on areas 80 and 81 for archery Elk.
Not for this Fall but maybe a future hunt. PM me if you like. Thanks.

I hunt the San Juan widerness area west of FDR250 south of Platora Lake if I don't draw out in NM, whitch has been the last two yrs. No motorized vehicles. I hunt the last 7 days of the season. It takes a full day to climb up top and it is true wilderness Very very tuff. First year I drew on three bulls but never closed the deal. Last year these to giys begged me for months to go with. We got up top and had some bad weather overnight. One turnes out was scarred of bears and the other couldn't take the terrian. Had to take em back down. Ruined my hunt. Saw a couple of monster mule deer up there. Last week of season is also a draw mulie muzzle hunt in 81. Alot of out fitters around the lake and up top just south of the lake. There are Elk but that part of 81 is a hard hunt. Great fishing in the Canejos River. They close all the public camp grounds but you can camp along the river in places.

Maintguy, Thanks for the reply.
I have a friend that is packing into the San Juan wilderness in Sept. With 1 horse and 2 mules.
Archery elk hunt. It will be his first time in the area.
I would have gone with him except for time.
Next year hopefully.
I'd appreciate any more information. Thanks.
