Area 12 - 4th Season

Hello all,

I'm hunting the 4th season for Elk and getting ready to head out there this Thursday to hunt an extended weekend. This is our 2 or 3rd year hunting 11 / 211, but I have never ventured into area 12. I have a leftover tag which allows me to do so. As craig is a nice drive from my house and we have hunted 11 / 211 multiple years I haven't been on any scouting trips up there. Any information on Area 12 and where the elk are this time of year? Thought I might check it out a bit this year and see what the area is like. Any help would be appreciated. Best of luck to all!

Hunting Tip: Go Far But Not "Horse Far"

Out here in Colorado, and in the units that I haunt, it is a tricky game to figure out how far to pack in on a rifle hunt. You want to get away from the masses that have moved game away from the roads but might want to stay close enough that you are taking advantage of the animals forced movements. There is no universal distance but I like the 1.5 to 4 mile range for day hunts where I am not planning on bivying out. This keeps you in that productive buffer zone where the animals are really...
