I hunt small game near Woodland Park but have seen very few deer or elk. I'm told it's not bad and area but a lot of people from the springs use it for recreation, tourists, quads, motorcycles etc. I believe near the 2002 Hayman burn is a place worth checking out in 511.

I got tags for near Kremmling (37/28) in November. My buddy bow hunts just north of there and there was a lot of elk and deer sign when I joined him last year (I wasn't hunting). He didn't go this year as he has a newborn. It's only 3 hours so from the Springs, in range for an overnighter. I plan to drive up after work Friday and sleep next to the car and, scout all day Saturday and come back Sat or Sunday evening after dark. Home by 10pm. It's not a bad drive if the roads aren't snowed up.
