My Dad and I are headed to unit 13 in October to chase some elk. I have a few questions about the area if anyone would give me some advice/recommendations.
We will mostly camp, but might spend a few nights in Saratoga or Encampment. Any recommendations? Are there any particularly good places to camp in 13 or is it mostly just pick a spot beside the road. We plan to set up a base camp and drive to various locations to hopefully find elk.
Taxidermy - I am hoping to find somewhere nearby that does Euro mounts with a fast turnaround time in case Dad gets extremely lucky (I have a cow tag). Would be nice to get it done and bring it home rather than leave it and pay for shipping. Anyone know of a place?
Processor - we generally do all our own meat, but might need to at least store one if the trip runs long. Any recommendations on a processor? Or, just as important to me, anyone to avoid?
I thought it would be good to try and get some first hand knowledge on here if anyone has advice.
Thank you!
