Alright everyone, just joined the forum as i am looking for advice on where i should plan my 2020 hunting trip. I'm from Upstate New York(by the border, not the city) and there are somewhat cheap direct flights to Denver. so i am thinking an easy drives worth from Denver (5 hours or less if possible??) i would like to hunt elk and mule deer, i primarily archery hunt whitetail so i would be open to just archery but would do rifle is my chances of getting one would greatly increase. I've never hunting the western rocky terrain but self guided hunts dont scare. any advice??
Where should my 2020 hunting trip be?

Go to the Colorado parks and wildlife website, click on things to do, and then "hunt big game"
Then look for this section:
Hunt planning resources
That will give you some good info

Tons of options with in 5 hours of Denver. Start your research online. Maybe focus on one species your first trip to get the feel for it.

Definitely look at Colorado, but don't rule out Wyoming as there are plenty of units there within 5 hours of Denver. Your biggest problem is going to be getting a tag there if you don't have any points. If you strike out, you can always hunt elk in Colorado OTC with a few others.
