    Team, Did my homework on sq/mile per hunters, trends, public land, hunt management areas and walk in areas. I'm coming out of Colorado Springs so driving isn't that much of a problem but may be hampered by how long I can get my son out of school. We usually max those days out during archery...

    Skyline:

    Team, Here is a great example on what it looks like from an elk or mule deer perspective when you skyline yourself. Granted, not a human in the pic but you get the idea. I've seen many a newbie go to the top only to push the animals they were chasing two drainages away never to be seen again...
