Greetings,
I hate being a rookie, but here goes anyway. I know squat about hunting elk or colorado for that matter, but a friend and i want to make the trip this fall and hunt elk out west. We are experienced white tail hunters and outdoorsmen for what that's worth. I don't want a guide other than to drop us off in a remote area with a good , comfortable camp set up and give us the general lay of the land. Then check on us and pack out an elk or two if we'd happen to get lucky. I have no problem spending some money to make the hunt happen, I'm budgeting $2500 or so including airfare for myself and my buddy is planning on the same. My worst fear is I'll spend the money and be stuck in a woods full of blaze orange. Drop camp, trespass fee with cabins would be fine just limited access. I spoke with one outfitter and he seemed nice, but didn't get the best feeling about the solitude factor. A lake or drainage would be great also. I'm open to any advice/suggestions, horror stories, success stories anything anyone out there could contribute. thanks so much for any help.
