OTC ELK Tags in Colorado

[mhungerford]

Can anyone give me some direction on an over the counter elk area anywhere in Colorado that we would have a good (okay) chance of shooting an elk with a bow does not matter bull cow calf just and elk. Any help would be great and hiking in somewhere is not a big deal.

Mark.. I sent you an email.

Elk hunting in CO is like shooting gophers, they're everywhere. I'd look around Craig/Meeker area for a start, or pick a place anywhere within 150 miles of there.

Keep in mind all the huge elk I have taken in the last few years when deciding whether or not to invest....

I have the same question, but would prefer the SW part of the state near Durango. I have a yearly commitment to MDA (I produce their local telethon) so I can't leave AZ until after Labor Day and less driving means more hunting for me. Probably packing in solo and looking for bulls only--not a trophy, just a tag filler.

Just for a minute let's all do the bump

 

[Hoggetter]

Anywhare around Delores in the San Juan forest is loaded with elk, Look up on West Delores Stoner Mesa or Taylor Mesa, Just drive some of the dirt roads at night and park and listen for bugles and that will give you a starting point. When mozzleloader season starts they will push all the elk deep into the canyons so you will want to get far off the roads and dont be afraid to use your legs.

 

[Devil Diver Down]

Thanks Hoggetter, I'll look into those areas. I've been asking this same question for a couple of months without much of a response from the Colorado gurus. Thank goodness for new members!

Sorry DDD, I've never hunted elk south of Grand Junction. Won't be much help.

 

[Devil Diver Down]

No worries Oak. If I can make an annual trek to Colorado I won't keep limiting myself to the SW corner but it seems I'm always going to get a late jump on the season. Do you think the CWD would consider moving the season later to help Jerry's Kids.

My plan is to eventually work north until I can trail Dinkshooter to his OTC honeyhole. I figure I'll know his truck when I see it or at worst I can sit a ground blind at his local Wal-Mart until they put wifebeaters on sale. I hear he's a sucker for the ones with the word HUNK on the front.

Now that is funny Cripes if you like rag bulls I am your man.

I lived in Durango and Bayfield for a while. Back then, over all the elk were bigger than northern or central Colorado. I hunted some nasty, nasty steep stuff for a few years. Not much success.

Had a great spot were I always called in bulls. It went up in smoke in 2002 I think.

Any where on the San Juan NF you are gonna find plenty of elk.
