Guided hunt, or DIY ?

I got my 1st cow Elk this season, in Colorado.

DIY .. I did a guided hunt 2 yrs ago. Wasn't what I'd anticipated. We were in the right area at the right time. Essentially, a guide had put up a walled tent and had a horse corral built way up on BLM land and it pushed all the elk down to us. We spent 2 days on top of the mtns and it was a waste. Thankfully we bailed on that idea.

Congrats, Joe....Great to see your son  and his bull...Another young man on the right track....

I had a similar experience hunting Colorado a few years back...Spent the first couple of days HIGH as we had been recommended and saw more hunters than elk...Then we moved lower and went 2 for 3 with muzzleloaders, a big 5x6, a nice 6x6 and the third guy passed several bulls waiting for a bigger one...All on easily accessible National Forest Land..
