[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 301311, member: 505"] I have been all over the west elk wilderness and 441. I would stay in the west elk if I were you. 441 and the surrounding units have the highest elk density per square mile of anywhere in the world outside of a high fence. Also the highest concentrations of orange vests chasing them. Co DOW has had an intense effort over the past few years to try and control those populations with tons of cow tags and working with landowners to allow trespass fee hunting. Elk numbers are down from years past. It is mostly private land and that is where most of the elk are. There is national forest in the north end of the unit but the elk up there get pushed onto the private very fast with any pressure. The elk there know exactly through generations now where the safe zones are that have no hunting and flock to it when any hunters are spotted. Not uncommon for them to migrate miles overnight to it. You will find the highest concentrations of elk in the oak brush areas. They have learned through generations that they are safer there. When hunting there understand you are hunting very pressured and extremely educated elk. If you think the west elk is heavily hunted then multiply that by about a thousand in 441 and those surrounding units. [/QUOTE]
