Anybody hunting this unit and heard of anything that’s been taken so far? My mom has the muzzleloader tag and I can’t wait any longer for it to get here so I had to ask. Figure it will either help hold me over or put the day dreams into overdrive. Probably the latter. Thanks

Usually the le archery hunters don't take anything serious until after labor day. I haven't seen much yet.

Havent heard of much yet. I know a couple guys with tags and seen some people hunting while i was scouting but haven't really seen anything dead yet.

I know two guys with archery tags - nothing dead yet. Should start heating up after this holiday weekend.

Have the same hunt! Itching for it to start!

Westernization · Sep 2, 2021

Thanks guys. Thought it might be a little early but I couldn’t help asking. I’m with you Azguy. I think I’m as excited or more than my mom and she’s the one with the tag.

Haven't seen anything impressive yet. A few average elk taken, that I know of. My wife has a muzzy tag also this year. Hope to get a few more scouting trips in before season. Too many mountain maggots in the area now.

Saw a pic of a 400" bull taken during archery. It still had most of it's velvet attached... Sorry I don't have a pic of him though

A hunter from Connecticut asked me to cape out his bull yesterday. 320" bull. Most bulls I've seen this year have finished out nicely. Back ends are better than usual, making them look bigger than they really are.

Fun hunt, bulls were fairly vocal, plenty of shoulder room. Did see a few bigger but overall very happy! Thanks for everyone’s help. Beautiful time of year up there.

Gorgeous bull!!

I have enough points to be very dangerous in the running to pull this tag as a NR; bow almost guarantee, rifle and muzzy in the strong running.

I drew in the random as a NR. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those hunts honestly!
