    How many days a year do you hunt?

    not sure I could do over 100 days but maybe one day. Are you guys counting scouting as hunting? If so, almost daily looking for game lol

    How long did you hunt before you went for an elk?

    25 years hunting duck/whitetail where I lived. Then moved to elk country, and wish I would have traveled here sooner.

    Off Season to Become Better Hunter

    What do you guys do to improve skill during off season? I’m at the point in my life where I have time to devote to becoming a better hunter (Deer and Elk). I live near winter range for big game. Here’s where I’m at but looking for ideas: Observing resident elk in some lower country and...

    If you could move anywhere?

    New Mexico winter and AK summer. In Colorado now, and although crowded, it’s a good life.

    Idaho draw

    For sure, that’s what happened to me even though I said I wouldn’t! But I do think demand is high enough that they will sell those tags, just to more thoughtful people.

    Migratory vs. Non-migratory elk

    Colorado CPW has a map that show migratory routes and also a separate layer that show areas with resident herds. Can’t speak about other states, but here in CO, we have both in similar areas.

    The Ultimate Packmule

    I think as a hunters it’s important that we go above and beyond to abide by the rules of the law. Hunting opportunities are being squeezed and we share our forests with other users. We don’t get to pick and choose what we think is an important rule to follow. Breaking laws and not calling out...

    Petition - OTC for Colorado Residents

    CO sells the most elk tags, by far. And there’s 5.8 M people that live here. So yes, it’s crowded and we just want to hunt local without supporting the rest of the USAs desire for a mountain adventure with a weapon.

    How do you remain calm with overcrowding?

    Ran into some combat hunting in OTC, so I opted for less Elk and no people areas. Still hunted dark timber and got creative. Not my favorite nor the most effective but unwilling to sit next to 50 hunters waiting for elk to run by. That’s how I stay calm and enjoy the woods.

    Worst spike camp locations

    Everyone has opinions and some are wrong. I’m planning to camp in a meadow below the timber where the elk are. But they don’t use the meadow right now, as I’ve scouted. But to the “expert” OTC guy, I’m sure I’ll get an earful while they walk in 5 miles past the elk..

    Wind, Thermals & Topography

    Another thought that I often have, is that unless you are hunting pristine wilderness way the f back, all these animals pick up scattered human scent from time to time. I think when the scent becomes stronger and specific for them is when they start to spook. Obviously dependent on where and...
