Hey there! So group of us are looking at first or second rifle in Colorado. The unit we are going to one of they guys had hunted before so we have experience spots to camp.
I've hunted in Idaho before but was unlucky, and the other two have never hunted elk before, and one is a youth. So we are thinking second rifle as its a longer season to get more time in the woods and learn more, but first season is a guarantee draw with higher success rates (from go hunt) but shorter in length.
We are leaning second season, even though success seems lower and hunting pressure higher. We at planning on getting there a few days before season starts to get camp set to get, acclimated and scoutcookies Thoughts? What challenges might we face? And are bulls moving closer to sanctuaries at this time? Or if we find any cows will we see some bulls around them?
Thanks for any insight!
