Finally one of my buddies has decided to do an elk hunt, this is something I've been wanting to do for a few years but never wanted to go in a long because I want to do a DIY hunt not pay 4k to an outfitter. We live in Missouri(St. Louis area) and are deciding between Colorado or Wyoming mainly because that will be the shortest drive. Is Colorado going to be the best option for us? We like the idea of being able to do an elk/deer combo(if drawn for deer) We haven't narrowed it down to a unit yet but are leaning towards unit 25, although from what I hear it doesn't seem to matter which unit you pick in Colorado as they are all very populated. Is Wyoming the same way? Are there any units there that you can do a elk/deer combo hunt? I tried to figure it out from their website but it was just to confusing for a first timer like me. Or are we just better off sticking w/Colorado? Thx
