Bowhunted the last 2 years in Montana public land. I opted out this year because of other family things. Now I'm regretting that decision and the closer the season gets...the more I obsess. I'm wondering if anyone can share info on how to pick up an over the counter tag and possible areas to hunt, and where to stay. I heard this is possible in Colorado. Just don't know how to get started. Thanks, Jack

Wyoming has plenty of leftover tags and you can buy them online on the F&G website.

Actually there was a post recently that Montana was selling the tags of people who turned theirs back in after not being drawn on limited entry units.
You might not be too late.

I thought there was still around 500 tags left in Mt.,but they could have went quick.
You must be talking about cow tags in Wy
If I were you, I'd contact Mt. ASAP and see if you can get a tag and hunt a familiar area.If not theres plenty of opportunity in Co.I know the obsession you speak of.I'm an elk junky too,but I have a Mt. tag for this year.I'm a little over 3 weeks from departure here for 2 weeks in the woods with the elk
