I HAVE HUNTED COLO FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS. FIRST YEAR TOOK A NICE 5X5 THIS YEAR TOKK TWO COWS AND MY OLDEST SON TOOK A COW WITH ME THIS YEAR. IT IS PRIVATE LAND SO YOU PAY TRESPASS FEE TO HUNT BUT AFTER THAT IS ALL UP TO YOU. I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE PUT MANY MILES ON MY BOOTS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS GETTING TO KNOW THE LAND AND THE ELK HABITS. COULD HUNT PUBLIC LAND BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS ACCESS NO VEHICLES ALLOWED, I DONT HAVE HORSES SO I DONT HUNT THERE. ALL IN ALL ELK HUNTING IS NO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER WILD GAME HUNTING YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE ANIMALS HABITS AND HABITAT OR GET REALLY LUCKY. YOU CANNOT GET ANYTHING FROM THE COUCH
