Just moved to the Western Slope from Northern Indiana and I’m eager to start big game hunting, particularly Elk. Moved in in March so don’t believe I’m going to be a resident long enough to get a resident tag but hoping for OTC. Is it unheard of for new hunters in the field of big game to shadow an experienced hunter? Just wanted to learn what I can from someone who already knows what they are doing. I am completely open to the idea of waiting until next year so that I know more about what I’m doing and that gives me time to get all the gear I need but would still like to get out this year if I can!
