Thanks much.
I haven't tried the "Go high and spot" method yet, but it seems to work in some situations.
Last year I was up in the Drowsy Water Creek area, you know, through the ranch property and farther north. Nice area, but about a million and six hunters. I only had a couple of days, so...
Gut Shot
Hey Gut Shot,
What method were you using? Were you up at a good vantage point spotting for a while, or more stalking through the woods and keeping you eyes open?
I'm trying to hone my skills, and any info helps.
Thanks.

Thanks GutShot
Thanks. That is encouraging.
I intend to put a lot of ground between me and the nearest road.
Last year, I saw guys driving around in their trucks looking for elk. I really don't understand that. I mean, do you REALLY expect the elk to be 50 yds off the road, and you just stop...
2nd rifle meat tag
I am heading to 181 for 2nd rifle doe. Never hunted there before, so I'm in the "finding out where NOT to go" stage. Lots of BLM.
Any info I see/hear I will pass along.
Also, anything I glean from my 2nd season hunt I will post back hear.
I love pesole, btw...

Thanks Rooster. I will look into that.
Last year was really tough -- rained like the dickens. But, that's hunting. Didn't see any elk.
According to CPW, there are plenty of elk, but I don't think the elk read those reports.

Hey All,
Has anyone tried the HECS gear, the suits that claim to block your electronic aura?
I have seen a few of the shows, and being an engineer, it intrigues me, but I would like to hear some real-world experiences.
Thanks.

Too old when it's no fun
Hey Devon,
I'm a year behind you, and the weirdness has been happening to me over the last few years:
arthritis in the elbow, half-torn rotator cuff, bunion surgery this February, blah blah blah. I also took (and passed!) the toughest black belt test I've ever had...
Hi All,
New to the forum, found it through Fresh Tracks.
I have a deer and elk tag for CO GMU 181, 2nd rifle. I don't hold a lot of hope for the elk at that time -- the success rate is terrible, and it seems to be mostly lower elevation. Lots of BLM land, though. I was wondering if anyone...
