Unit 61 BEAR

[coloradohunter]

Two daughters and I, all got September Rifle Bear tags this year in Unit 61. We’re looking forward to spending our September weekends in that Unit. Besides learning new country, it would be amazing if either or both kids shoot their first bear. Bear or no bear, it will be fun to spend family time together and see and hear all those elk that live there!

Hunting near successful archery and muzzleloader hunters gut piles seems like a good idea.

If anyone knows of a historically good place to sit and watch for bears such as a specific hillside or even a good water hole to set up a blind on, and is willing to share, that would be awesome help.

Best of luck to everyone on your 2024 hunting adventures!

Thank you.

I saw there were 10 tags on the leftover list. Normally I would have grabbed one but I’ve only seen 9 bears since June so I held off.
Probably because of the heat this year.
I have a buddy that has a tag so we will see what we can turn up.

It’s more fun seeing and listening to the elk in my opinion.

If we find a bunch of active elk, we’ll pass along the info to any elk hunters that we meet. Hopefully they in turn kill an elk and stink up the place with elk guts. Win! Win!
