So I have a tag in my pocket this year. I have hunted unit 55 2nd season 7 years ago and helped a friend in 67 on his 3rd season buck hunt 2 years ago and just love the Gunnison basin. I was wishing I had a muzzleloader tag when I had the 55 tag based on the bucks I saw scouting. But because of point creep I decided to go to 66 with. I am unfamiliar with the unit but plan on a scouting trip or two late July and August. Any general direction would be appreciated so I can make the most of my scouting time. I'm happy to help with what I know and saw on 55 and 67 in a PM. Thanks.

If you know 66 and are willing to share info, I’d appreciate any info you have on the elk in the area. I drew a first season elk tag.

I don't know it well but I will be scouting down there this weekend and then hunting Mid September. When does the first season elk tag open?

I wanted to give an update and thanks to some of the awesome members on this site that gave me some direction on this hunt. It helped a ton and I hope to help others in the same way. I think that is what this site is all about. There really are some good dudes out there. You know who you are.

I was expecting a scouting update and got a surprise with a big buck kill!

Congrats on a nice one!
