Folks, maybe a little help if you don't mind. Looking at land status on BLM maps and Onx hunt maps, I'm confused. There are tons of sections of "Colorado state trust- no public acess" noted on Onx. BLM just shows it as state lands. So even though these aren't private, still no hunting??
I've never hunted public ground in colorado, always paid access fees.
Also, if there is a road access to public ground, I assume its legal to hunt? I also assume it needs to be a public state or blm road to drive on? If its not labeled/numbered on map, are you trespassing if you're driving on a 2-track across private ground?
Thank you for any help you may want to share. My son and I have 3rd season cow tags. Will be his 1st elk hunt. Trying to make it a good experience for him.
