I'm looking for some info. on unit 2 in NW Colo. I just drew a early rifle tag and have never been up there. I would love to talk to anybody that has recently hunted or knows of anybody who has hunted the unit. I've heard lots about the Walker Ranch. Do I need private to get a 330 bull?

Congrats on the tag and good luck with your hunt. That is about a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The point creep and my age finally forced me to draw an area 61 2nd season tag this year.

This is colorado, afterall. You need a good bit of luck for a 330. They are there but of the 100 bulls you will see, a few might top that. Making the odds lower than you would like to think for a 20+ year wait. Walker ranch would be a great option.
How much scouting will you getbn ahead of the season?

I just booked on the Walker ranch this last weekend so I don't think I will be scouting as much now. We will go up sometime in August to get familar with things then show up atleast 3 days before season. Have you hunted the ranch or have any tips for me?

Just got my area 2 tag in the mail today. Unbelievable, I drew the hybrid tag.
I have been hunting cows for the past 4 yrs and went up with my buddy to hunt deer last year. I have never hunted the Walker Ranch. What did you pay for the trespass fee if you don't mind me asking? Pretty excited to be up there. I didn't think I was going to be hunting 2 for another decade or so.

I hunted there 5 or 6 yrs ago and the conditions were extremely dry .I started out near Powder Wash and ended up near Greystone and Douglas Mtn.where I saw the most deer and elk.I think the deer were more affected than the elk.There are so many big bulls there ,what difference does a few inches make when we are talking huge.

i know a guy that has guided that country 4 a long time.there are a few 330 bulls but mostly just a big population.
Unit 2
Sounds like a 330 bull could be fairly difficult. I have the time off so I'm going to try to be patient but easier said then done.
I was up there over the 4th of July and saw 50 or 60 elk, no bulls but a lot of nice deer. Any ideas on where to start?
Never shot anything over a 270. How do you know it's a 330 or so bull?
