Greetings Hunt Talk,
I'm planning on taking a 2 week break from Iowa and heading out to unit 18 this Sept.16-30 to scout for archery bulls. I figured id find the elk first this year (save $650 tag), then buy an OTC next year after hands on experience.
I've been doing my homework and i have a few places picked out.
-Wheeler Basin
-Hay Park/North West part of Corral peak south
I've marked down locations that overlook NE/NW facing slopes that are higher elevation and have plenty of green and water. I'm perfecting my diaphragm calling skills and have lost a significant amount of weight. To better prepare for this incredible experience, I have a few questions for all you veteran elk slayers.
-If a trail cuts through private property, ex.(Troublesome Trail cuts through ZD LAND & CATTLE LLC), am i allowed to keep on that trail and go through?
-If a CO Road cuts through a ranch or a random sub division in the middle of nowhere, am i allowed to keep driving up that road?
-Would it be a waste of time to check out around the Never Summer Wilderness, specifically around the north side of Bowen Mountain/Parika lake
-Would Crater/Triangle/Pawnee lake be worth a look through? Or is that too high traffic from campers/hikers?
-Could it be possible to hunt north of Sheep Mountain without dying?
If anyone has hunted any of these areas and would be so kind enough to give some advise or helpful tips, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
