I have some 70 year old relatives in the rifle Colorado area. I'm from the Pennsylvania area was thinking about going out to that area to hunt elk by myself. I own bows,guns, and muzzleloaders. One is a flintlock and a savage smokeless muzzleloader. I gather that smokeless powder isn't legal for muzzleloader season in Colorado.

My relatives seem to think that going out hunting by myself would be a tough proposition. I am 30 and in decent shape. I have only been in Colorado for a few days so I'm not really familiar with the area.

Does it seem stupid for me to go out there and go hunting by myself?
