Got a pref point first choice so now have 2 for elk. Got a pref point for deer instead of a tag so now 2 for deer as well. Haven't checked with them but expect the other three hunters in my group this year (Daughter #1 and two sons-in-law) also got their first choice pref point for elk and second choice cow tag for Unit 12/23/24.

Any and all tips are welcomed. What elevation were you seeing them at in October? I was poking around the CPW website for bear data in 61 last year and found a map of the bear harvests. The kill locations were widely distributed. It was hard to get too far from a place where a bear had not been taken. I recall there were a couple of pockets in the SW part of the unit where there was thicker concentrations of bear kills.

I got drawn for a cow tag (1st choice) and received a refund check for my second choice (bull) but no tag. I confirmed my drawn result online and finally called yesterday. The girl at DNR confirmed they were having some tag processing issues and my tag should be received by the end of the month – something to do with lost mail claims and reissue of lost license ????
