Episode 30: Preparing for our 2018 Colorado Elk Hunt
ColoradoTrip Planning & Preparation
This week, its all about trip planning and preparation for our much anticipated, do-it-yourself elk hunt. We're heading to Colorado later this week for the 2nd rifle season. Jeff and Todd discuss travel logistics, talk gear and review our planned hunting and base camp location strategies. We cover considerations like the weather forecast, wind, moon phases, hunting pressure and our on-the ground experience from 2016. We break down our costs to date and discuss various options to help you set a budget for your own DIY public land elk hunting trip.
