[QUOTE="truckdweld, post: 2319874, member: 100750"] First trip out to Colorado no idea where to hunt, we tried a few places with no luck. The owner of the house we stayed at felt bad and showed us a spot with some elk. A couple days later I had harvested my first bull. Not really anything special right? What was special was the night after at the restaurant in town we met some locals who had tagged out. They offered to take us to their spot and pack out any animals my buddies shot with their horses. The next day true to their word they took us in and packed out a cow my buddy shot. For the past 7 years I have met my new friends in Colorado and have had amazing success! 5 bulls and 2 cows on OTC tags. They have hauled horses for my wife and I to hunt off of, let us stay in their trailers and even bought and prepped all the food for the trip. We have become such good friends with some of them that they even come out to California for our wedding! The point is you never know what will happen on a trip! Head out, ask for help and talk to everyone you can. Most people want to pass on their hunting traditions to others. I am now the one called upon to quarter animals for the crew even though they are the ones who taught me how to do it. Pack up, head out, enjoy the drive and be safe. Yeah you could get hurt by yourself but you can get hurt with a group and no one will really know where you are if you split up. Lots of locations have cell service or get one of the other systems for out of service areas. [/QUOTE]
