First time elk hunter headed out to Colorado this year.
The unit I am planning on drawing in has a couple of burns I located using onX maps. Both are fairly recent, with in the last three years, but one is substantially larger than the other. Right now I’ve got them as my 1a and 1B spot to zone in on, but I have concerns on how to affectively long distance scout or plan my hunt without being able to put boots on the ground.
My plan right now is to locate features within the burn area that I would look for outside of a burn area, North facing slopes, benches, patients, and water sources. The problem is not being able to tell which areas with in the burn The problem is not being able to tell which periods with in the burn are actually regrowing or generating feed/cover etc.
I think I’m going to have to rely heavily on the local biologist for some info how the house specific areas are responding, but is there anything else I should be looking at or resources I should be looking at that would help me concentrate on a specific area with in those zones ?
Thanks in advance!
