I am looking to hunt Colorado elk unit 581 during the fourth rifle season. Am I wasting my time with this unit or is it worth the hike in. This will be my first western elk hunt and my main concerns are about the pack out and number of hunters in that specific unit. Does anyone have any advise for success in this unit. Also should I make arrangements with buddies to help with the pack out or am I capable of hoofing it out if I do get an elk on the ground. Any advise at all would be really appreciated. Thanks to anyone who has any feed back.
