Need advice on hunting GMU 12. We hunted milk creek area with Bar H in 08. Saw some elk got 1 very nice 5x5 out of 4 hunters. We are going back this year on our first DIY hunt. Scouted a couple weeks ago off FS 250 from Wilson Park up to FS299. Saw several old campsites along the road and plan to set up camp along 250 also. Hunt north down towards milk creek area or northeast towards sleepycat. Looks as though there will be several hunters using this area, any ideas/plan of attack one would suggest? We are 13 hours away so scouting again is not feasible. What is protocol on these campsites? Do the same folks use the campsites year after year? or are they basically first come first serve. Dont want to step on any toes, just want to hunt. We will get there wednesday morning to get set up? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

A hunting companion and I have just decided to try and be drawn for elk, so I'm a beginner when it comes to hunting elk. I'd be interested in all the techniques you develop in the field if you would be willing to take the time to document your efforts in this post when you get back from your hunt. Anything that could useful as a lesson learned or valued reference.

As far your questions go. Have you seen the interactive maps that also showed game routes on this website?

"NEW! The Colorado DOW now has interactive GMU maps on their website. You can save them to your computer and print them. Find game migration routes, streams, topo information, fishing conditions, trail maps and much more. Best of all, it's FREE!"

Unforetuneately, I can't get them up on my computer as my software is block it.
