Colorado elk hunting is one of the toughest hunts because it houses more public land elk hunters than any other state. During the winter - Colorado's temperatures can change within the span of four hours - causing you to have an entire different outfit on to be successful. This gear that I've used over the years has allowed myself the most success.
