[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1740479, member: 1940"] Same experience here. I manage a ranch here in western CO and have great access to some otherwise roadless country. First season wasn’t to bad but I was still surprised at the number of people that horsebacked in. When I started hunting in there 41 years ago there was no one but us. Second season was a real disappointment. We had guys camped a quarter mile from the cabin, another camp a half mile further on, the outfitter a mile beyond that, and two other camps on the other side of the ridge. After the second day my buddy and I never saw another elk track. We drove down to hunt above the ranch - new owners won’t allow hunting on the ranch - and were amazed at the number of hunters there. With the new map apps now for the first time ever I had guys discover a little corner of Blm that allows access to the edge of the ranch. Hunters there in a place I don’t hunt because it’s right outside the picture windows at the owners house. Probably go back to archery or muzzleloader, but that probably won’t be much better from what I’ve been hearing. [/QUOTE]
