[QUOTE="dodgefreak8, post: 562956, member: 4965"] I'm a fellow Colorado elk hunter and I can share what I have learned. First of all the type of hunting route I choose has a lot to do with the area I am hunting. The 2 units I hunt are 42 and 22. They are very similar to each other as in it's not huge mountains with dark timber and aspens. That being said I spend A LOT of time glassing and I cover a lot of ground doing so. I am leaving in a few days for third rifle season which is what I have hunted the last few years. If you are hunting Large timber areas then I try and find an open area and still hunt by waiting for them to emerge and glass. Now in unit 22 I hunt muzzle loader season and that is a different ball game. Since this season is usually in the rut I spend a lot of time listening and glassing. In my 10 years elk hunting I have learned that you can't chase elk. I have better luck trying to anticipate their movement rather than hiking through the trees. That being said I know people that make that tactic work for them. [/QUOTE]
