I will be leaving tomorrow to go on my first elk hunt. I'll be in Colorado GMU 75, first rifle season, October 14-18. I've been planning and studying this do-it-yourself hunt for something over two years now. If I don't get washed off the mountain or stuck in a mud hole -- there have been substantial rains in this area over the last week -- it will be a lot of fun and I will learn a lot about elk hunting that I don't know today, even if I don't get a shot off. Good luck to everyone going elk hunting.
