New Hunter in Colorado

So where are the best Elk locations for late season? Antelope?
Thanks for any advice! And don't worry, I wil not take all of the herd!
Are you talking about DEC 5-9??

First off most of the late elk seasons are private land only so if you have that option go for it. The antelope season Dec 5-9 is for youth only (12-17) and you have to have an unfilled tag from the regular season. Antelope has one season for rifle public the rest is private or youth.
Elk does have some late public land seasons but it is only in certain areas you just need to figure out what you can or can not do.
My advice is pick a area and scout the place out. CO has the highest elk population in the world you just need to be willing to do what it takes to bag one.
If you have a specific area in mind I might be able to give you some ideas.

My brother-in-law goes to Craig area and my friend goes to the Eagle area. I do not mind hunting with them but I am up for something new and different. This will be my first true hunting season, as for the the other times I have gone to help do all the dirty--- no, fun work.
Pick somewhere away from the crowds. I went near Craig last year and rubbed elbows with way too many people for my taste. I don't have horses or Quads so I'm sh!t out of luck when around hundreds of hunters who do. I'd get up super early to hike in just to get run up on by horses and guides who are more outfitted than I. Go remote and go somewhere that isn't a well known spot. Thats my CO experience. WY is better anyways for hunting. Easier regs anyways. Maybe too many libs work down at the DOW. They seem to like staking the odds up against hunters here in this state. CO is in my opinion a out of state hunters paradise. That is...way to much catering to the non-locals. And again this is my opinion. I don't want to offend any CO hunting diehards.
