I have been reading this forum for a long time. I have always wanted to go elk hunting but due to lack of knowledge about area and job have never actually gotten it done.
I have two sons I'm planning to take elk hunting. Looking at over the counter rifle season in colorado. Live in iowa. Have hunted deer all my life as well as birds etc.
I'm looking for some advice about units that I could see elk but maybe less people. I know everyone wants that. I'm just not the best at just venturing out without trying to find out the most I can.
I would rather be around fewer hunters with fewer elk if it means not fighting crowds all the time.
Can't afford a guide or private ground. Packing in and camping is not something I have ever done.
thanks for any help. Just wanting to create memories with the kids and finally hunt some elk.
