[QUOTE="Marble, post: 1040196, member: 51354"] When I went to Colorado for the forst time I was lucky enough to go with someone who had been going for almost 30 years. I hunted with him for 10+ years before he passed away, but he taught me everything he could, including all of his best hunting spots. The best suggestion I could give you is to find an existing group of guys that are going and try to tag along, or, go with an outfitter that hunts on public land. Choose an area you want to hunt for the type of land you want to hunt and for success. While doing the outfitter chasing, think about how comfortable you are with horses. They are a useful tool in CO. We rent them, have some of our own tack, two trailers and have gotten expereince on the back of the animal. When hunting Elk in high altitude, miles from anything, with weather that is unexpected at times, you will find yourself needing gear you never thought of. I fortunately have gotten to the point where I only have to buy basic stuff and reloading supplies. But I have several thousand dollars worth of gear. I hunt unit 43, second season. This is the first year I was not successful, but that was sort of by choice, or should I say a poor choice. It's an addiction. I am already dreaming of it. [/QUOTE]
