CO GMU 49 - 4th Rifle

[dpcarlton]

So drew a cow tag for 4th rifle this year for 49 in Colorado. I have spent some days out there scouting where I think they will be during that time, but honestly, would love some feedback or advice in terms of where to look in terms of wintering areas versus higher up still.

The southern part of the unit had a lot of signs of elk, the looked to be 6-9 months old, so last winter. I am not sure if they will be down there in that part for 4th rifle yet, or still further on up.

Anyone have any experience with this GUM and season? Would be grateful for any assistance or advice. Even debating getting an outfitter for a few days to give me some pointers (willing to entertain non-outfitters as well) up there.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

The game warden on the Fairplay side I can't remember his name right now is pretty helpful

Thanks. Figured they would be hard to get ahold of this time of year. I am headed up there next week and then the week after. Will try to touch base with him.
