RE: Advice needed on an elk hunt.......
I know of a private ranch in Colorado near Glenwood Springs that would be a good option for a tresspass hunt. I have hunted it 4 different times with a muzzleloader and taken 2 elk. The other years I was into elk almost every day. They provide a very nice cabin and the ranch is pretty accessable by 4x4 and 4 wheelers. I think they charge $1200 for gun hunting, don' t know about bow. I would recommend the last week of the season. Every muzzleloading season, they are really getting cranked up good just about the time we leave.
Email me if interested and I will give you their name. I suspect they would want at least 2 guys to be worth it to them.
