Bkoneff I am really excited about going out there which ever state it ends up being. I have been to Colorado once to go to rocky mountain np and once to west yellowstone mt to go snowmobiling and both times it was killing me that I wasn't hunting. I definitly will be going with a rifle so your...- N.E. Deer Hunter

Top gun What I was thinking with the"long weekend" scouting trip was flying out and having two or three days of scouting to get an idea of the area prior to help me select a GMU. Hunting on this long weekend would require quite a bit more gear and different acommodations. a lot more than just...- N.E. Deer Hunter

Thanks for all the input! The reason I was thinking about a couple scouting trips with out hunting is I can make a long weekend out of it and doesn't involve all the logistics of a hunt. ThAt being said it would be pretty painfull to come across a nice bull and have no tag!! I have been looking...- N.E. Deer Hunter

I was thinking that same thing I figure i could get at least 2 points by the time I apply so it might get me into a little better area. Really the bottom line is I want to go Elk hunting and see some animals and enjoy it so hopefully with doing enough research i can accomplish that. My plan is...- N.E. Deer Hunter

So not trying for the draw and going with a OTC tag is really a pretty good option for a rifle hunter? I have recently just started bow hunting but I dont think my skills are quite at the point yet to try Elk with a bow. What area in general do you hunt? Im not asking you for any specific info...- N.E. Deer Hunter

Some of the areas I am looking at are GMU 47 , 7, and 43. Any thoughts on these for a novice? Also for a novice would you recommend trying for the first season or wait until later on?- N.E. Deer Hunter

Yeah those articles are great there is a ton of awesome info in them, they are part of the reason I am leaning toward Colorado. One of the things i'm struggling with is the whole idea of being able to camp where your elk hunting. How do you go about finding a place to camp within a reasonable...- N.E. Deer Hunter

Sorry i left that part out. I would like to go for Elk with a rifle but i am open to using a muzzleloader too. I also would like to try and work in a mule deer tag but i realize that may be a stretch as there not always in the same areas. From what learned so far Colorado seems pretty good.- N.E. Deer Hunter
