[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 171879, member: 340"] I've done this twice in 2 different areas in Colorado. The first time I arrowed a satellite bull. The second time, my brother got one. Neither one huge, but on a DIY backcountry archery hunt, anything is a trophy. Our trip from last year was briefly documented here: [url]http://nodakangler.com/forums/showthread.php?7521-Elk-hunting-the-hard-way[/url] Here are my tips: Area: I think Colorado is your best bet. There's tons of public land, and more elk than any other state. Gear: You want the good stuff, and planning [I]exactly[/I] what you'll take up the mountain and how much it all weighs is key. You want to shoot for a pack that is less than 50# and has everything you need for 7+ days in the wilderness. You: There's no such thing as being in too good of shape. You should start training now so that once the hunt rolls around it's just part of your lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
