I think youd like it.
Elk, Mulies , whitetails, moose, black bear antelope even desert sheep I believe, all are huntable there .
Lots of public land, and the seasons are long. you can start elk hunting end of August and finish your season Dec 15th . Their seasons are split season I believe with 3 or 4 different seasons with 3 -5 days between each.
It has 2 zones too...western and eastern and I 25 that runs through denver is the line I believe. One side of Denver is the western CO season, the other eastern CO season.
Youd be hunting a month and a half earlier for archery elk, and end up just before Xmas. You could actually hunt there LONGER and have chances at some great species.
Very pretty country as well.

Colorado has a ton of OTC units that you can hunt as a nonresident. I couldn't imagine it being worse for residents. Although, the "better" units will require a draw.
83% of all statistics are made up.

Lots and lots of public land. I've killed 3 elk (2 bulls and a cow) with my bow and all 3 were with OTC tags and self guided hunts. I've only been 5 or 6 times. If I lived out there, I would hunt OTC units and put in for some of the better draw units.
While elk hunting, I have seen some monster muleys. I walked up on one in its bed. I could only see its rack because of the grass in the thick oak brush canopy. I thought, that's a funny looking fuzzy stick that is sticking straight up...and hey, there's another fuzzy stick over there (about 30 inches away). About that time, I realized it was antlers and he stood up less than 20 yards away, stood there and looked at me for a few seconds, then took a few hops and was gone.
It is much different than hunting whitetail, but once you get a feel for it and realize the differences, you can be very successful. It can be very physically demanding, but it has been some of the most enjoyable hunting I've ever experienced. I've only elk hunted out there.

Let me know if you take the job and I'll let you have all the maps I have of Colorado in exchange for your knowledge of Cahaba.
Keep your hook wet and your powder dry.
