RE: Hunting elk and grouse in Colorado?
Icertainly share the concern others have voiced about not disturbing the elk hunting of my camp mates while I am grouse hunting.
My plan was/is to wait until most members in my camp have tagged out(assuming that I fill my tag early in the season), and then coordinate with the guyswho are still elk hunting so that I grouse hunt far away from them. In other words, I figure I wouldn't disturb my hunting partners if I am grouse hunting 1 or more miles from camp in the opposite direction from them.
More generally, this is my first drop camp elk hunt, so I am interested in learning about any universal camp rules, ethics, traditions, etc. on how to properly conduct myself. Specifically, are the hunters that tag out early expected to spend their days in the camp to not disturb the ones still looking to fill their tags? Or, do the successful hunters spend the rest of the season helping those hunters still in the pursuit of game?
Thanks.
