Wyoming elk vs colorado elk

Hunt WY while you can, burn the points. Powers that be there will continue to decrease opportunities for NRs until it goes to zero.
 
I've been having a hard time trying to decide where to hunt this year out of state for elk.
I've never shot a bull, I ve spent most of my life hunting the spike units in utah. Seen many many huge bulls so I know what a big bull looks like. I've killed more cows and spikes with a rifle and bow than I can remember sometimes two a year if I draw a limited cow tag we've been mainly eating elk meat for the last 6 years, we love elk meat. Iam not a fan of the any bull units in utah even though I'm a resident so that's not an option for me. Been trying to decide putting in for southern wyoming general elk with 6 points or northern colorado 1st rifle elk with 3 points. I've hunted this area in colorado before and shot a cow wich I regretted, running into a nice 5x5 shortly after. Never hunted wyoming but feel like I'm in no man's land right now sitting at 6 points. I could put in for both and hunt the state border, but have a feeling if I shoot one I might just give up on the other lol. I ll be doing this hunt solo, which iam accustomed too.
I would try Wyoming with that many points and do as much research on the area as possible between now and then.

Drew wyoming general. I did a ton of escouting, camped and drove around two units for 3 days a couple weeks ago. Have a better idea of where to escout. Now I have a ton of questions for fish and game. 5 days in September and another week in October if I haven't killed a bull yet.
