so i'm going to try this again, october 2018 was my first time. i drew a tag in nw colo. we (wife and dog went out with me) drove out (3 days) and got there a week early and scouted i think 5 of those 7 days, via lots of miles on the truck, and a lot on our boots. the weather went from nice/drought to cold/rain/snow right as we arrived and the roads went to complete crap. my units went from 5k to 9k but i couldn't get above 8k due to the roads. i sure wish i knew if that extra 1k made all the difference or not, but i saw two cow elk the first morning of the hunt and that's all the elk i saw all week. fair amount of muley's though.
anyways, open to any and all thoughts, advice or the like. i plan on applying for the draw in new mex (this year you now have to buy a $65 nonrefundable license just to enter the draw) and colo again, and am considering other states. if i'm reading it right, ariz makes you buy a nonrefundable $160 license just to enter the draw. that's a fair amount of coin just to have a super slight chance of actually drawing.
