Asking for advise?

Hi everyone, I asked my nephew what he wanted for his graduation before I could finish he replied bow hunting for elk in Colorado. So I need help in selecting an area to hunt. I want him to experience elk hunting during the rut. I have been twice to Colorado for elk during rifle season and have had a great time. But have no experience hunting elk with a bow. We just set up a 3-D range at his house with four targets to practice so we will be competent shooting a bow. So any help would be greatly appreciated. [/list]

The Wapiti Rut usually gets hot around the middle of September. Yes

I would go to Colorado Division of Wildlife's site and study the numbers for the best units and draw odds......
