Hi guys, has anyone ever hunted the flat tops in gmu 24 in Colorado?
I'm hunting with a cow tag during the 2nd rifle season up there this year, and I'd love to hear of any tips or good areas you know of. This will be my first time hunting elk, and a friend of mine will be coming along with me to help pack it out. Our main goal: to enjoy the wilderness and hopefully see some elk. If we can bring home some meat, that would be a huge bonus. Since I may not get a chance to scout out the area, I'll need all the help I can get!
I've heard it has a lot of elk but it gets hunted pretty hard, and you have to go in pretty far to find the elk. The flat tops area is so huge though, I have no idea where to go. Any areas that I could go that would give me the best chance to get a cow? Any thoughts on a good spot to make camp, away from the hunters and closer to the elk? I don't need to find bulls, just a good spot to intercept some cows. Thanks in advance for any help you're willing to give!
