So my dad and I are planning our first archery elk hunt in Colorado. 3rd & 4th week. I have been pouring over onX for weeks and think I have few spots possibly picked out. What my debate is if I want to take horses or not. We have several that we use and ride daily and know horses so that's not the problem. The spots I have picked out would only be around a 4 mile ride into where we would possibly set up camp. I know the horses would be great to pack in with and pack out with, especially if we are lucky enough to fill a tag. My question is are they much use once you are in. Does any one ride to different locations then tie them up for a couple of hours and hunt, or is it to much trouble to come back water and graze them then go again? Also can you go off trail with them in wilderness or is most two thick or steep (units 78/81). Thanks for any help on this.
