To All,

Thank you 06 and bigbear. Although I' ve only been hunting for 15 years I would never ask someone to give up their secrets, nor was I asking for a gimme. However, it is difficult to pack up the kids and drive to CO for the weekend when you live in IL. I' ve been to CO many times and I can imagine how difficult it would to hunt there with little or no help from people who have hunted their. I understand that the first few years will be a learning experience, everything is a learning experience. Getting involved with this forum has been. Maybe my wording was unclear, as straight forward as it was, I was only looking for some places to start. I have done my homework as best I can on my own and if I was to read every posting on here regarding elk hunting then I might as well drive out to CO on my own. I have been to CO DOW site and I have the application book and I imagine there might be a few more elk in unit 70 than unit 98. So that' s where I am at right now. I hope I can get in touch with Antler Quest this week. That sounds like a good place to get some ideas. Thanks for the help

Good judgement does come from bad experiences; too quick of a judgement creates those experiences.
