[QUOTE="Buck300, post: 1576717, member: 30178"] If you are not in shape get there, these mountains are big, steep with high elevation and you may need to cover a lot of ground to find game. I was living in Colorado and took a left over deer tag in a unit I had never been, a group from back east was camped about a mile away and we were near the end of the road up against a wilderness area, they watched us hike into the wilderness up on a point to glass so they followed us on their atvs and drove right up and parked 50 yards away wanting to know were the deer and elk were, I told them they were in a wilderness and cant ride their atvs in here so he left only to glass them up shooting onto the private property (ranch) across from our camp at a herd of elk about 800 hundred yards away ( like 20 rds) with a pencil barreled 308 and a 3x9 scope, the property was posted within 100 yards of him. The next day one of them followed my old friend ,parked right behind him and followed him on foot right behind him step for step my partner told him to beat it and the out of state hunter went by our camp and broke all of our tent poles in half. My point is know the animals habits, what they eat, where they like to bed, how when and why they migrate at different times of the year, and get in shape, these guys thought they would drive to Colorado and fill their tags that they spent a $1000 dollars on and they ate tag soup.
