Did you buy it.

Nope. I'm out of town the next 3 weekends. I wouldn't have any time to use it. But it would have been a great learning opportunity since odds are I will end up with a tag there at some point. About five minutes later there was a cow elk tag for zones 111-112. Same timing issues, and same missed learning opportunity for another great area.

Hopefully I'll get lucky in the later November and December seasons.

You have to think carefully about learning opportunities if they're going to take all your points and put you in a 10 year penalty box. You are likely two or three decades out from being able to benefit from what you learn. That being said, I would probably grab a tag if I could, especially as a nonresident.

Actually, the opener is the 25th. But I understand. I drew 231 with 4 points and little recent experience last year. At my age, I can't wait to get a tag. I paid for it but I had a great time. I stood laughing like a schoolgirl while a 7x7 walked within 25 yards. Had a 6x6 at less than 7 yards but by then, I had lost 18 pounds and didn't have the strength to draw my bow straight back. He caught me twisting like a pretzel trying to get to full draw...etc. multiple encounters that went sideways. Good luck on your Colorado hunt.

My son has his first elk hunt in this unit and we are super excited to help him. He has been shooting his bow a lot so hopefully we can help him get a few opportunities. Any tips and advice is always welcome. Kindly, Nate [email protected]
