    New to Hunting --> Looking to Learn

    Bailey.........Yes, that can be true but it depends on the unit too. Some units have a lot of private land and it's probably true. Other units have very little private land and the elk will stay on public land. You can look at how many elk are killed every year to see that. You can also avoid...

    New to Hunting --> Looking to Learn

    Colorado has 23 million acres of public land hunting. Why do you think you need to hunt private land? Landowners don't let you do it for free.

    First elk hunt ends with a goose egg

    I agree and live in Colorado for that very reason. Muley buck tags are hard to get in my units but I can hunt for elk every year with no points and don't need to go to an OTC tag to do it.

    Is there anything that preys on pine squirrels? Can I train one to take with me on elk hunts?

    Squirrels give warning to others that a large mammal is walking by that could be a predator. I use them to my advantage when still hunting. They also squawk when a deer, bear, or elk walk by. It warns me something is coming. I use squirrels to tell me how well i'm still hunting that day. If I...

    I prefer a season that's not crowded on the first day.

    I know you're not. Mistakes are made by all of us. As long as we learn from them it's all we can do.

    Solo Backcountry Elk Hunt Debrief -- Southern CO

    I'm sorry but if you need bugles to find elk. You better work on a new approach. I prefer quiet elk. I'll know every hunter isn't moving in the direction of the elk that way. Mule deer don't bugle. How do you find them?

    Look on the bright side. Although the odds aren't good. Maybe the bull lived. They're pretty tough.

    It's hard to tell if the wire tripped him or the sudden downslope surprised him.

    What does crowded mean when hunting out west

    I've hunted Colorado every year since 1954 for elk, muleys, and bear. You couldn't pay me enough to hunt the OTC rifle seasons. I can't believe hunters will do it year after year. I guess they like to suffer? I won't say how or what units I hunt but I get tags every year with no points and my...
