Thanks for the replies. JJenness I wasn't thinking of a specific state, just asking in general. Looking at Colorado for this year, but also other states for future hunts. I have to think that not starting at a trailhead would help with getting away from others. Sounds like I should just call...
If I'm on a forest service road and there is national forest ground on both sides of the road, can I park on the side of the road anywhere and hike in? (Instead of a trailhead) I obviously wouldn't park somewhere that would prevent vehicles from getting by, but my vehicle would be there for 3-5...
