OK, before we start offering opinions, please have GONE on a hunt yourself, not just 'hearsay'. Finish my MBA in Dec, would like for my first elk hunt to be a reward in fall 2016. Prefer rifle (30-06) or muzzle loader as I am not a bow hunter. Prefer CO or NM, but looking for some ideas. May have a partner, but planning for sure on just myself. Have only been hunting with one 'outfitter' for osceola and got burned......so....Got any recommendations?
thanks,
skywalker
