LAST EDITED ON May-03-12 AT 09:37AM (MST)[p]Hey guys - I have never hunted Colorado before but I am planning on giving it a shot. I hunt with my bow and the last 5 or 6 years I have been so focused on archery deer hunting that going after a big bull has taken a back seat.
That may because I always hear how "bad" the utah general bull areas are. I have never tried so I cant say.
I would be the only one hunting but would probably be able to convince my brother to come along. We would want to do a 5 to 7 miles backpack trip in and use that as our base camp while hunting.
So my question for those of you who hunt/have hunted both Utah and Colorado:
Which one is better, Utah general area or Colorado OTC?
Im guessing most will say Colorado, so my follow up question would be, is it THAT much better that it is worth spending an extra $700 or so to get over there?
Also, my goal would be to find elk and have an opportunity at a branch antlered bull. Im not going to say I expect to shoot a 330" bull in a general area.
Really want some good feedback here guys, thanks in advance!
