I hunted DIY archery elk on public land in Colorado last year. I had a great time but didn't get an elk. I would like to try for elk again but hopefully have a better chance at success. I am not wealthy and I don't like the idea of going with a professional guide (I want a challenge). I am thinking about rifle hunting through a drop camp service. I am thinking earlier season is better to avoid deep snow. Anyone have any suggestions for a hunt like this? State, area, outfitter, etc. Thanks
