Scouting before the season.

[Ynothunt41]

I'm heading to Colorado unit 55 2nd season elk and 3rd season deer. I have never been to the unit. I know it's a big unit and I have looked it over a lot on, ON X maps (marked a lot of spots). I live 1800 miles away. My question is how many days before the season would you go to scout to find elk? Thanks for the input.

Yep 2 days for sure and 3 if you can swing it. Boots on the ground is way different than ONX.

Thanks Pn8hall! Yeah I agree. I wish it wasn't so far away that I could scout now.
