looking for my first bull elk

[kmillbowhunter]

Am looking for my first bull elk have been looking in colorado but am still trying to recover from a surgery i had and am trying to find an area i can hunt that may be to hunt that the terrain may be a little forgiving .iam getting stronger everyday but not sure how i will be by september .so anyone have any ideas ?

The only problem with terrain that is less "forgiving" is that it is the same for everybody else. Typically you can expect more hunters in that area. You still have until April 3 to make up your mind. Applications can be done online.

You mentioned September. That would be archery, or muzzleloader. The problem is the elk are high that time of the year, and i'm not sure I can describe it as easy hunting. What's your choice of weapon?

Definitely plenty of elk in Colorado. Also plenty of hunters. It can be done for sure. I would suggest doing your homework and even calling the Division of Wildlife to see what they think. You might also consider Idaho.

I really appreciate everything i can get not looking for anybodys hot spot just an area to focus on . I have been an eastmans subscriber for twelve years and have all the mrs from every issue but was looking for info from people that have been there to further my research thanks kris
