[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1740252, member: 95079"] I hunted my first year this year in CO. Didn’t see a single elk, but did see 15+ hunters in each spot. I hunted 74 and 77. Outfitters were set up in each spot also. Don’t go thinking it was lack of trying either, I started “hunting” or glassing about 2 miles from the truck and ended up 7 miles at one point, seeing hunters the entire way. I was hunting solo so going any deeper was not really an option. There were 2 very nice 5x5 killed about a mile from the road on opening morning (2nd rifle) in one area. One thing I just can’t wrap my head around are the outfitters. I’ve been studying maps and the areas all summer, finding small meadows in remote areas, some relatively close to the road, less than 1/2 mile and some 2-3 miles out. Most had an outfitter camped right in the middle of them. I talked to one guy who was with an outfitter, As I was 1/2 mile from a place i wanted to hunt , he told me they had rode 3.5 hours in on Horseback and their their camp was right in the middle of it.... with 7 other hunters! They sure do seem to do a good job of screwing up hunting for most everyone that’s not hunting with them. [/QUOTE]
