[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 763734, member: 6641"] The private land in CO is very hard to get access to. It's mostly leased or used by the owners for themselves and friends. I grew up in MT and found CO to be very frustrating to hunt. The scouting and planning and prep can often be a waste of time. The problem is often weather related. One place for say 2nd season(only a week) can one year be lightly covered in perfect tracking snow and you just follow along and kill them at will. The next year it's dry crunchy grass and no elk within miles, next year three feet of snow and some quality time in a tent with your friends. Then you add 10,000 hunters, 50,000 shots fired, 4 MILLION beers and 5000 ATV's and you have a real gauntlet of fun. So my only way out is drive as deep as you can, hike as far as possible from any road and find a good spot to watch while those mentioned above run the elk to exhaustion and hopefully in front of you. The flattops north and east of rifle has some of the hardest to access spots and a way to get away from people. [/QUOTE]
