here is our game plan and if anyone has a better idea it is welcome.eight of us are planning a trip to colorado in the fall of 2007. we will either hunt in the rifle or silt area or pagosa springs area. one of our group has hunted pagosa springs before,we think we need to follow his lead since he is the only one with experience in the area.our plan is to arrive a day or so early,set up camp,spend a day or so on the mountain glassing and then persue our game if we spot any. we will probably be out in late september or early october. my thoughts are to hunt high in the morning working my way to maybe a water hole or meadow in evening.how are these areas for game (elk) (sorry for not mentioning that) for odds of seeing animals. none of us are after the next world record,we want an experince first and meat or horns last.like i said any help is greatly appreciated. and any help on hunting tennessee just ask i'll do my best to stir you straight. thanks,BIG GRUMPY.
