I'm purposefully trying to leave this somewhat vague to not upset some members by listing the specific unit but wanted to see if anyone had some thoughts on what I can expect for my upcoming hunt. I have a limited draw either sex archery elk tag that doesn't take many points to draw. For the purpose of this post we will call it 2-3 points. There are no OTC hunts in this unit in any season. My only elk hunting experience has been in OTC Colorado Units or very dense elk units in NM where the elk are everywhere.
For these limited draw Colorado units should I be expecting to see/glass elk just about each day (that is definitely not my experience in OTC units)? I don't want to bounce around to much if I am in what I think is a good area but just haven't found them. But I also don't want to spend to much time in a spot picking apart every last opening if they should be more plentiful then that. Generally I hike about 6-10 miles a day depending on what is going on and am hoping I will see an elk a day.
I'm curious what other people have experienced with similar tags that aren't "glory" tags but still take a few points to draw.
Thanks in advance and i'm happy to chat in a PM if anyone is willing to talk.
