That's a good point to remember, they may be hiding around the does just not completely in the open. We'll see if I have self control enough to not shoot the first forky I see with the does!
Hey all-
Wife and I are gonna be hunting a 4th rifle buck tag in the South Central region of CO more than likely this fall. First time hunting a buck in a 4th season.
I'd like any suggestions on how to try and pattern rutting mule deer. I've hunted mostly late season does before. Most of...
Find the high points in your unit that you would want to access, an do the walking with your eyes. You can cover so much more ground with the glass. Figure out the patterns of the elk in the specific season you're hunting and prob most importantly: how do they respond to pressure? Which...
Thanks for the input! It's been surprising how much lack of pressure we've noticed since opening day, at least in the unit we're hunting. Have seen only one other camp and they got a couple nice bulls.

Just checking in to see if anyone has had any experience hunting bulls in that part of CO during the...
As has been stated already, it really depends on the experience you're looking for in terms of habitat, elevation, elk numbers, success rates, etc. I've hunted two otc units in CO, as a native, and the rest has been limited units. I can say without a doubt, getting to know a particular unit...
I've heard that elk love to be near the pressure. So my advice-stick to the roads and main trails. You're bound to find a monster in the middle of the road in 1st season...
