Not wanting to be a Smart Axx but 50 acres of land to hunt in CO is like nothing. My sister and her husband dryland farm 12,000 acres...their shop takes up 50. We hunt antelope, deer, coyotes, pheasants, prairie dogs and anything else in season and never see another soul.
You don't want to hunt public land, basically it sucks. Too many other hunters and no game.
Find private land owners willing to let you hunt and go there.
There is plenty of private landowners that would allow you hunting access free of charge. I do it every year and have since 1963. They won't come banging on your door, you have to go bang on theirs.
I should expand on this just a bit. The DOW RFW ranches here have to be 12,000 acres just to get inthe RFW program. The one ranch in the program is 120,000 acres and 3Forks islike 300,000 acres. So be ready to expand your view of things. Everything is Colorado is 300 miles away.
And somethin else odd... of the 57 members here who have moved to CO or
thought they were moving to CO in the past 7 yrs no one has ever taken up my offer to call me for more info or meet for coffee. Aint that weird?
Anyway, good luck on your trip move and hunts.
