Did my first elk hunt in October 2022 in Northern Colorado and it was a great learning experience but I never saw a single elk. Saw a moose and some mule deer. I agree 100% that the perception from E-scouting changes instantly when you start hiking up a mountain. I didnt get sick but i definitely hard trouble breathing upwards of 10k feet.Went on our first Colorado DIY OTC elk hunt in 2022. Absolutely got our butts kicked. Never seen an Elk but we had a blast. Colorado supposedly has the most Elk.....can't prove it by us. Do be prepared to deal with altitude sickness if a low lander. Only way to figured it out is to go. E-scouting is nice but the whole perception changes when you hit the ground. Embrace/Enjoy!
