We got into the elk by hiking away from all the road hunters.I will be able to do some scouting the week before the hunt. GMU 81 Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, and Rio Grande. Is it a function of public access? Instead of all the elk moving to the farthest, most difficult areas to hunt, many would be in easier terrain to access.

I won’t ask you why you decided to hunt Colorado because you said you have intel about GMU 4.

Looking for any thoughts and recommendations you may have. If I were you I would find a way to go in July and do some "feet on the ground" scouting.

There are lots of hunters in these units (see Table in post for 2nd Rifle), but much less than other units.But first, what does hunting and scouting mean to you?
