Hunting is permitted in Roosevelt National Forest on the east side of Estes Park, Colorado.

Elk that live in the National Park in the summer naturally migrate to the warmer, lower elevations of the National Forest for the winter, and during the Fall rutting season, trophy status bulls wander from the protection of the Park into surrounding areas (including downtown Estes Park!) in search of cows, food, and territory.

The Park relies on hunters in the National Forest to thin their herds.

There are three times more elk in Estes than in Rocky Mountain National Park. We need more hunters to keep the elk in balance with the habitat. Estes Park Outfitters provides full service trips and support for do-it-yourself hunters.

Very Happy

I know Uffda, Bent, Buck and a few others here have hunted this area. Buck had pretty good success a few years ago in Area 20.

Buck's family had a great cabin his dad built back in the 50's.

The logs for this cabin came from my grandfathers farm (thought to be over a 150 years old) squared red oak from two cabins made into one cabin (seen). The base logs where 14 inches square - top logs (second floor) measured 12 inches square.

My grandfather had over 1,500 acres near Penn State PA, we hunted that property until it was sold in the 1970's. Good White Tail and Black Bear country.

To bad you guys sold that cabin, I remember talking to your Dad and looking at all the cool pictures of hunts from that place, seems everyone had 92's or 94 Winchesters in those days.

I've never seen so many guys in one group outfitted like they were, neat stuff.

Francisco if we still had the cabin we would move in and hide out with the way this world is changing. The high dollar vehicles would never make it up the side of that mountain (be one hell of a junk yard at the bottom ...  Very Happy   Smile   Cool ).

Base logs were over 150 years old  (18" square) top logs were 12" square and thought to be older than the base logs. On 5 acres of state leased ground ($1.00 a year with a 100 year lease). Had to be natural color logs, white trim and chinking and concrete painted green (state colors). My dad went to Sears and bought paint on sale various shades of green (put in cement mixer so the color was full thickness). Had 10 double beds upstairs (capable of sleeping 20 men plus three couches on first floor could handle 3 more guys) lots of room on both floors. With two six burner stoves and large picnic tables these guys were set.

His dad was a pretty cool dude, pretty low key until antiques were mentioned. Man, what knowledge he had (he had been around that circle a few times). Guns were his special thing but knew a bunch about antiques in general for dates made to going prices... WOW  fun stuff ...

It would have been a good time to have hunted out of that cabin, lots of white tail and black bear.

The problem now Ben is most of the open available land in old Area 20 is land locked by private owners (all signed off). I talked to a friend in Estes Park a few nights ago about a few areas we use to hunt and that was the case for them (private property now). No access ....  Evil or Very Mad
