Judman, you are probably correct about WY being “the spot”. Concerning Colorado numbers, there are a lot of non-resident hunters that poke around on public land and are unsuccessful. There’s an awful lot of hunters who never see elk except in the back of someone’s pickup in town. My long term Colorado average is 68% on unguided hunts. Some of my buddies who have a gold horseshoe do a bit better. Last 7 hunts = 4 bulls, 2 cows. Never been on a guided trip. Good luck on the tag draws!
