I have hunted a few different places in wyoming and colorado and have only found one unit i like, and i can only seem to draw a tag every two or three years there. What im looking for is some help picking a unit to hunt as a back up. Not looking for gps coordinates, just a unit number to start looking into.
These are the things the unit needs to have to suit my needs
1 well there just has to be elk in it for real..... lol
2 Must be in one of the following states, wyoming,colorado, or montana
3 must be able to get a tag,either, over the counter or as a leftover after a draw.
4 must be on public land
5 And the most important, must be the type of terrain one can actually glass for elk.
The places i have hunted in the past have all been really dark timber and i have had enough of that type of terrain. I have killed a few elk in that nasty stuff but it hasn't been easy. The one place i found in western wyoming had some dark timber but also offers some open grassy knobs and sparse timbered ridges. The type of landscape a person can set your rifle down and glass for animals. Being from southern minnesota i am used to open fields and spending time glassing, and prefer the spot and stalk type of hunting. If a big 6x6 is the first legal elk in range he will get a free ride to minnesota but then so would any other legal animal that presents the first shot.
Can any one point this flatlander in the right direction?
