LOL!!!
I have taken 14 elk out of this area....because I know where the elk are and where they gonna go if they get pushed, and how to get there before them or at least head them off!!!!
An area like you described in Colorado would have over 50 hunters trying to hunt it.You would definitly see more orange vest then deer or elk.
