[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 3211, member: 34"] [b]Re: D.C.\'s spot[/b] DH I believe the feud between the Texans and Colorado folk, goes back to the cattle days in the old west and has progressed from there. To me,hunting is getting out the topo and local maps, looking for a place to hunt that is on public lands and then trying to be successful. It is much more rewarding to me to do it this way, not to mention the cost factor. I will not pay a tresspass fee, or guide service when you don't have too. I feel it is more "you" when you are doing the hunt and being successful on your own. Some States require you to have a guide, but Colorado is not one of them. My wife and I camp the whole season and NEVER come back to civilization till the last day of the hunt has ended. We stay in motels on the way out and back and spend a day or two in town after the hunt has ended. We have made many friends there and visit with them either out in the moutain or in their homes. The cost is a hunting license, food, fuel to get to Colorado and back home and any extras we bring with us or buy out there. Cost is VERY low for a hunt of this type and especially when you can kill elk or deer at the SAME time. Before the license price increase on elk two years ago, and when I went with a good hunting buddy of mine (before my wife came along with me), we made that entire trip for 12 days of hunting for about $850.00 each. Let me add something here, he and I stayed in motels at the time also. That was $850.00 for EVERYTHING. Food, license, motel and fuel to and from Colorado which we split. So you see, it's very possible to get a good deal while elk and deer hunting in Colorado if you don't have to pay guide fees and pay to hunt on private land. Good maps are of great value to anyone, but be careful and read them well. They don't take kindly to tresspassers, "especially" from Texas.
