Colorado Elk hunt DIY 2009 and 2010
Total price: about $1800.00 in all
All National Forest Land
Self Guided
Stayed in a nice house in town
Flew and rented a SUV
200.00 to have elk packed out and 225.00 to get it processed
Saw lots of Mule Deer, prarie dogs, elk and coyotes
Harvested a 3x4 elk in 2009 and a 5x5 in 2010 (2.2 miles from truck at over 9500 ft, packed it out on our backs in 1 trip in 2009)
Would do it again over and over. Been 6 times and shot 4 bulls
Overall experience would be a 9 because I missed a 320 class 6x6 last year, could have shot a 4x4 in 2006 and only saw 6 elk in 2008.
