Hey whtailtaker,

I hunt unguided and public land. That isnt to say that I don't find hard to each public and/or hard to access BLM.

I hunt in Colorado each year. Just got back from a couple days scouting in Craig/Meeker/Yampa Area. Looked at a couple of nice muleys. I was looking into BLM/State/Federal land areas along with the Flattop Access.

I am going to hunt second rifle / combined season. Elk - Bull and Deer - Buck. I will be running in 11/12/13/22/23/24. I normally spend some more time scouting before October 15th. I will then make a more serious decision on Zone. After scouting I get more serious on which animal I am hunting first. Last year it started out with Elk and 4 hour later I was working on Muleys. 2003 season I didn't shoot a muley because everything I was looking at was small 3x3 etc. The bull I shot was 6x6 one hour into my hunt.

Hunt hard and sleep fast,

I will be in Unit 67, fourth season for my "a" list tag, and in unit 581 L2 season if I can pick up a leftover cow tag. We went and looked at things in units 55 and 67 in Feb. I saw about 300 elk total between the two units, most of which were wintering on the private stuff just north of HWY50 near Sargeants. Good luck!
