    So we decided to just put in for a cow hunt in 7 with a Region J tag for deer and maybe an antelope tag too.

    Colorado 76 or 61

    Put in for the hybrid draw for 61. There are some monsters in 61. I have a buddy with a cabin on 61.

    Wyoming Nonresident 9 points to wager

    Thanks Randy!! I've been told 10 percent of the hunters kill 90 percent of the elk and n.v I agree 100 percent. Weve only hunted antelope in Wyoming so Hopefully this will be the start of some better elk hunting than we do in Colorado.

    Wyoming Nonresident 9 points to wager

    Yeah we usually hike 1000 vertical feet to about 10000 ft and about 3 miles from the truck where we hunt in Colorado. Most of the time we are in the elk year after year.

    Wyoming Nonresident 9 points to wager

    Yeah I printed off the pages with the number of points to draw needed and went thru and highlighted the primo areas within our points available. Then I searched on the map to make sure they were not in griz country. Then I looked at access. I wish I knew that alot of good areas were able to he...

    Weve been hunting LEGAL bulls in Colorado for years. Want an opportunity for a better bull since weve been banking points.

    Wyoming Nonresident 9 points to wager

    Honestly we would be good with a decent 6x6. Dont have to be a 350 plus. Probably even a 300 would make us happy. Have hunted colorado for years. Just hoped 9 points would get us a good chance at a decent bull without having to hire a guide or hunt country that we cant get around in. We can...

    New to DIY Elk Hunting... Colorado

    1st or 4th season is the only season I will go again. And the one that has the least moon would win on that one.

    Wyoming Nonresident 9 points to wager

    I have been trying to find a good area that we can draw with 9 points. Here are my qualifications. DIY, no Grizzlies, moderate terrain, public land or HMA type hunt. Have hunted Wyoming for antelope on a HMA before. Been looking at area 23, but reading lots of negative about it. We are 47 to 70...

    Hunting / camping unit 70 CO

    Miramonte has a great campground and porta potties. No showers or power. There are several folks that just camp most anywhere on the side of the forest road. Have hunted that area a bunch of times. I generally stay in town in a rental trailer with hot showers and washer and dryers. I can give...

    2014 Colorado OTC Archery Elk

    Unit 70 and 62. I have hunted both during rifle seasons. Never during bow season. In 70 you might try lizard head wilderness for high hunting or mailbox park for pin ions and cedars. In unit 62 we hunted near short point and monument hill. Good luck.

    Co 61 elk first rifle

    Look up sunset canyon outfitters. Curt Weimer runs a hunting camp out of there. He also has non-guided trips where you stay in his cabins and use his showers and get fed and dont have to pack all of the camping gear. He will also help you pack out your kill with his horses for a small fee. We...

    Colorado unit 62 archery ?

    Look near Short Point Cut-off. It is up north of Windy Point and barely south of Brushy mesa. That is where we saw the most elk. There are some cabins in there that are on Private land so be aware of the private land. Also look at EscalanteRanch.com. They are the ones with the cabins in there...

    Quarter Bags...

    I bought a set from Schnee's and have used them several time. They work great. I only put one in my pack for the days hunt as that is all that I can carry back out.

    Waiting for draw results....

    Waiting on a Colorado Elk tag. With so many online applications these days the states should have a faster turn around on the draw. I know they want to keep OUR money in their account as long as possible to draw interest off it, but it would be nice if we just knew if we were going or not way in...

    Leftover tags

    Have the regs in front of me now. They had tags leftover for unit 44 for cow 1st season, or Private land either sex 1st season only. The public land either sex tag for 1st season sold out last year. They did have 4th season either sex tags available last year for public land though. Good luck.

    Leftover tags

    If you look in the Colorado Regs booklet there is generally a star beside the hunts that had leftover tags last year. Also if you can gain access to private land you can get a better chance at buying a leftover tag.

    Topo maps

    If you are ever looking for BLM maps call the BLM office direct as they are alot cheaper than you can buy them online. They will take credit cards over the phone as well.
