brianinco---I'll also offer a humble apology if you are legit and just doing what you say, but the reason I came on this thread like I did was because there have been too many that did just like you did on your first post and were just trying to get around website rules that you can only put ads like you did in the Classified Section. Sorry if I was wrong and if you stay on here and show you're truly a hunter and just came on for some help I could could give a rip whether you have money or not to buy those expensive properties. Durango is, however, a Lib stronghold for the well-healed and it's too bad they've taken over that beauiful area of CO. I have more than what I need to do my thing and actually was on the road for three solid months in five states last year helping a buddy on a sheep hunt and doing DIY hunts for elk, deer, antelope, and capped it all off with a week of pheasant hunting with my pointer. FYI, as TX stated, elk require lots of acreage and we're talking thousands, not hundreds. I've watched herds of elk that were spooked in WY where I hunt and they went 3-4 miles up and down over several drainages in a small time frame like we would walk on the sidewalk for a stroll.
