I am from the Adirondacks of NY, but heading to Colorado to hunt units 25 & 26 for the September archery elk season. I bowhunted unit 24 back in '96 when I was 18 and swore I would be back out the following year. Well, 18 years later after college, marriage, kids and a career I am finally making it back. I am planning on hunting units 25 and 26, but am concerned about the number of other archers (mainly due to outfitting services) I might encounter based on research I have done here on Rokslide and other western hunting sites and forums. Can anyone attest to whether or not Units 25 and 26 see many bowhunters? Additional reasoning for picking these units are they are OTC, large amounts of public land, large amounts of elk and the topography might be better suited for one of my hunting party (my father) who is 60+ (we plan on hunting the interior portions of these units thus packing in our gear). We aren't trophy hunters (nor meat hunters), but rather looking to experience a western wilderness hunt with the expectation of seeing game and possibly a shot opportunity or two. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
