So we've been pondering over trying a DIY elk hunt in Colorado or going with a guide. I'm still not a big fan of having someone put you on animals and tell you which one to shoot. Just wondering if we'd have any chance of success with getting a general tag for Colorado and putting our boots to the ground. Just for clarification, none of us have ever hunted elk before.
Anyone have any thoughts on it? It'd be a rifle hunt and we have no specific area as of yet. Just wondering if we'd be wandering in the dark and if our only chance of actual success would be to go with a guide. I know anyone can get lucky, but I'm wondering if there's enough out there for someone from out of the state to have a good chance of getting a bull (no need to be a monster).
From all I've read it's a lot of work to DIY, but the pride of a successful hunt would be the trophy.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
