Colorado, The Worst Trophy Elk State?

[HuskyMusky]

True statement?

What do you say?

If you want a trophy elk, 6x6 300"+ is CO near the bottom of your elk states list?



Feel free to include some colorado elk sayings too.

"In colorado we don't have elk, we have elk hunters"

"The orange army"

I agree and wouldn't even bother to apply for an elk tag in Colorado. The fires have pushed all the elk to WY, NM, and Utah. However, I think that Colorado may have better elk than Hawaii ( we are comparing all the states aren't we )!

No fires to speak of down here in the SW part of the state. Just got back from some hiking in the high country and saw lots of elk....guess they are still here!!! Guess out there in "The high plains of colorado" there aren't too many elk there in the flat lands!!!

Colorado has no elk. Don't bother coming here.

CC I think BKC was trying to get the NR's to not come and hunt in our state...Just a thought What about that fire out of Pagosa, how's that doing? If this fire keeps going in Ft Collins RMNP will be burning soon...

Where I hunt the elk are already at the top trying to avoid the bugs and find solitude. Like every year its gonna be a different than the last

Good luck this year!!!

Both comments (mine for sure) are a little "tongue in cheek" and I am sure ment to be a little humerous. My hike was a disaster!!! Got ate up by "noseeums" and it was damn hot. I did see a few elk right a daylight and then some more late afternoon. Glad I wasn't hunting. Going back in a couple of weeks when it cools down some.

I'm just doing my job to help the energy crisis. I just don't want people to drive all the way here and burn all that gas and degrade the ozone layer anymore than it has to be. Then you get here find out it is overcrowded with hunters and undercrowded with elk. Maybe better to hunt high fenced elk or another state.

Cools down in July??

Over here it has been really hotter than normal. Even up at 10K' it was 90. It is about 10 degrees above what I've experienced as normal.

Same here, but I don't see it letting up. It's going to be a miserable summer. I hate the heat.
