Don't let your expectations be squashed. Do the trip you want, use a trail and then leave it.That is slightly discouraging but thanks for the reply. I would prefer not to see anyone even if that means less chance of taking a big bull, but seems like no matter where in Colorado you will run into people.
Have you hunted 3rd rifle season? This might be another option for me.
Don't let people discourage you.
If it were me going to a new area, I would want to scout it. This is mainly for figuring out a lot of the logistics of the area.
Usually I do not just hit a trailhead blindly. I'll usually venture out until I find sign and then plan from there.
Be mobile, take breaks, and don't be obsessed with success.
