[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 4126, member: 808"] Wyo, there is some truth to what you say. The best hunting is in any area with good habitat and where access is regulated. Some areas access is regulated because of private land, but most are regulated because they are limited draw areas or just plain hard to get to. We have horses so we can hunt every year on public land in places 95 percent of the people won't go into, or have the sense not to kill something when they do get in there. To have the best odds of killing a real trophy bull, it takes a lot of preference points (the reason this thread started) so you can get into a trophy area. A 300 plus class bull can absolutely be killed in other areas, but the odds are not as high. Personally I like the idea of hunting every year, having the chance to kill a raghorn without too much effort, and having the opportunity to kill a trophy if I work at it. Bottom line is hunting every year for me. I do wish Colorado closed off a few more areas to make them a bit better for trophies To support your claim, I will be going to Wyoming this fall to kill an antelope. Cannot even reliably draw a doe antelope tag in Colorado each year. Maybe elk in Co are like antelope on Wyo. [/QUOTE]
