The Colorado high outfits in the southern side of the FlatTops,I think the units were 25 and 24,not sure though.We have taken 4 bulls there and seen a few others and several cows.
The area David Parri outfits in is 18 ,Troublesum Basin.Not as many elk ,but also not as many elk hunters.We hunted with muzzleloaders.i had oppertunity at two small bulls but passed and my buddy shot and missed at a 5x5.Only elk that we saw.
Both areas were not real diffacult terrain.I am 60 years old and had no problem.
I would not hesitate going back with either ,but I tend to like the Flat Tops a little better as there is a lot more elk there.
They have raised there prices since I hunted with them.Any more I do DIY hunts some where in NW Colorado.Where ever I can get a leftover cow tag.
