[QUOTE="EricL, post: 1196712, member: 90293"] Getting a guide if you can afford it is not a bad ideal. I grew up in Louisiana and lived in Michigan for a couple years before moving to Colorado about 11 years ago and one thing I will say for sure... do not expect elk hunting to be anything like deer hunting!! Everyone will tell you all about the enormous number of elk in Colorado, what they all seem to forget about though is the fact that there is a way, way, WAY more enormous amount of uninhabited land that all these elk can be spread out over! In other words if its something you will do 1-5 times in a lifetime, having help from someone who lives here and has a clue in the world were to even begin could very well mean the difference between an amazing success story, and a story of the most discouraging and expensive hunting trip in your life. That being said if its something you want to make a habit out of and come back every year or 2 just for the fun of seeing the mountains and maybe shooting an elk some day then DIY is the way I would say to go. Ether way elk hunting is a blast as long as you have a realistic view of how many elk you may or may not actually see, so good luck and have a ton of fun!:) [/QUOTE]
