Are you sure it's Northeast Colorado? I lived in Colorado for 40 years and there aren't a lot of elk in Northeast Colorado. Maybe Northwest? Northeast Colorado is primarily farm country, whitetail, muleys, pheasant and antelope. In fact if I were to hunt elk in Colrado Northeast would be the last place I'd go.
:yeah:

I probably have the area screwed up as far as geo-graphics go, but it is unit 8 in Colorado.

Unit 8 probably holds a good amount of elk. I have never hunted it. It is on the eastern edge of where I would prefer to go. South of the unit is the town of Estes Park. it is a tourist town that holds huge bulls that roam the golf courses and parks. You could probably GOOGLE Sampson in Estes park and it would talk of a sad poaching case. If it were me I'd do the Colorado hunt. Lived in Colorado 40 years and Idaho for 2.

I grew up in Rifle Colorado. Not a lot of elk in the NE corner as mentioned. Shoot me a PM with the unit you would be hunting and I can give you a bit more info. I grew up right in the middle of unit 32 and 33. Good luck! either one you will be in some beautiful country with good friends. Honestly pick the friend you want to spend the time with and go from there, at least for me that's one of the most important parts of the hunt.

What season you looking to go also; archery, muzzy or modern? I would look at CO simply for the number of animals you have the opportunity to get into. I lived there for several years and hunted areas 12, 22, 82, 86 and 511. Honestly if you cannot find elk in CO you should take up fishing... You'll have a great time.
