Archery Hunting: middle of the day
Like many have mentioned, I've done the still hunting approach, but I've also bumped several elk doing so - and I'm not sure if this is due to my own clumsiness making noise (it's difficult with a lot of deadfall where I'm hunting) or swirling wind pushing my scent down to them. I feel like... -

Archery Hunting: middle of the day
In CO??? Everyone I’ve talked to said they don’t hear bugling till the end of the month, and that only includes the first and last hour of the day. -

Archery Hunting: middle of the day
Now a week though archery elk season here in CO, I was curious what everyone does through the early afternoon hours of the hunt? Are you sitting near a water source? Taking a nap? Slow-hunting the timber? Reading a book? It’s been hot here, so I’ve been trying to get close to my planned... -

@archEsp it seems like your situation meshes pretty well with mine, so it might be most sensible for us to connect. You need to make a couple more posts before we can PM though- dmarsh2

Looking for Local Colorado Archery Partner - 2023
This past season I hunted 1st rifle elk, I would've hunted archery but hunting solo I wasn't comfortable with overnight temps and risking meat loss in september. This, and the fact that I've realized I just dislike hunting alone, provide the reasoning for this post. I'm looking for a partner (or...- dmarsh2

Interpretation of elk scouting findings
I'm particularly perplexed after today's scouting trip up to the unit I'm hunting first rifle elk this year. As a quick disclaimer, I'm a greenhorn - though it's my fourth season elk hunting, I've yet to even set eyes on an elk with a gun in hand. This year I refuse to get skunked, and I'm... -

Colorado GMU 86 elk and deer
@Chippewa thanks for the info, it both alleviated and confirmed some concerns I had. I like to avoid areas close to population so anywhere near salida was never in the question. But I figured the pass roads would be hot spots for hunters and them taking the rainbow trail to further trailheads on... -

E-scouting help: game-trails vs. horse-trails/hiking trails
ntodwild I appreciate it, thanks very much. Yes, this will be my first elk hunt.. Trying to prepare as much as I can - scouting, reading up on the species, reviewing past-years of statistics, just trying to be a sponge. Hopefully with another set of crossed fingers I'll be able to seal the deal. -

E-scouting help: game-trails vs. horse-trails/hiking trails
Thanks ntodwild, that's helpful insight. I do plan on getting boots on the ground, I'm just trying to narrow down the field of potential places I go to scout, and was just hesitant when I saw a pretty heavily warn trail alongside a slope, and wondered the odds it would be game or not. I... -

E-scouting help: game-trails vs. horse-trails/hiking trails
I've been doing a great deal of e-scouting the unit I've been thinking of elk-hunting this fall.. I'm intending to target wilderness to try and reduce my run-ins with other hunting parties, and I've learned (on here, I believe) that horseback groups can sometimes be doing the same thing, but... -
