Doesn't anyone want to elk hunt ??
Wow, what a first. Looks like my trip to Colorado will be a solo trip. The one buddy I hunt with drew an Arizona tag & I didn't so end of that story[:@]...since he drew that tag, he won't be going to Colorado, the others, well one is buying a house and the other has a new job...
I have been there before, but just can't imagine NOT going....so solo it is ???
Am I the only one ?

I'd love to join you, but with buying my own ground to hunt whitetails on this yearand sending my daughter off to college. Well that just doesn't leave a whole lot of spare funds laying around.

if going guided....i wouldn't worry, you won't be alone....
other hunts are decent excuses, but houses, time off, blah blah, guys can be lame.
I'd try to find someone to team up with, post youre season/unit # and see if other guys ar egoing or tagging along, worst case scenario, which really isn't a bad case, go alone, hunt alone, and get it done, oh well, not going isn't a choice/eating a tag.
good luck.

I feel for Ya!
I face thesame thingon out of state hunts every year. Onseveral I have a Buddy or 2 along, but sometimes I have to go it alone.
Last years Dec.Mule Deer hunt was a solo trip as will this years Dec. hunt be. The worst thing is the rising cost of gas. It's getting to be an expensive proposition just getting there.[:@]
If they haven't already I'd say there will be some outfitters feeling the effects of this High Gas.

Yeah, if I would of pulled the New Mexico tag it would of been a guided trip, so yeah, I would of "bought a friend" for the week. This trip to Colorado however is a drop camp, so it would be a solo hunt. Good thing, is that my dad goes along to "hang" out at the cabin, so least I will have company when I return
