Ed67 Report post Posted July 2, 2022 I’m scouting the unit where I have a September ML tag, beautiful country, rugged and steep. All the elk I’m seeing are either on private or 10,500 and up. Tons of bear sign so I’ll be buying the $100 add on tag. Sharing a few pics, arrow pointed to where I’m seeing elk above tree line, few others just under. Hiking is tough, I have a cabin at around 8800 but once you hit 10K to hike things change quite a bit. i got back to the truck and a marmot was under the hood chewing on the firewall which was spooky when I popped the hood. Fortunately no wiring. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBenz63 Report post Posted July 4, 2022 Also have a ML tag out there this year. Never considered marmots being an issue. I’ll definitely keep that in mind thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll definitely keep that in mind thanks I’ve been going out there for years and this was the first time I’ve had one in the engine compartment.

SW Colorado is awesome, going to buy a cabin up there one of these days soon to spend the summers. Gotta hit up Serious Texas Bbq if you pass through Durango!
