Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Colorado Elk Tag

All right! It took all my points, but I finally drew a cow tag for a heavily hunted area! Just kidding , but I did get my point and my cow tag. I'm pretty happy, got antlers on the wall from last year and probably another freezer full of wapiti for this year(that is if I can afford enough gas to get all the way there!). I hope everybody else drew their tags.

Gonna fly from NY,2500 miles each way is pretty costly to drive not to mention 4 extra days tacked onto the trip.....

It could be worse. Last year my Grandson paid his way round trip from South Korea. He returned after the season and two weeks later rotated back to the states. Kid is a hard core hunter.
At least he got his Elk.

AJ - yepper. 1700 miles for me @ 20 mpg, $5.00 a gallon. Ouch............

OK, got my 3rd season Unit 4 cow tag in the mail yesterday. Not the Snake River RFW tag I was hoping for but I got a preference point and Unit 4 has been very good to me.

I'll be buying a bull tag as well.

I collected a point and a unit 74 cow tag.

74 was my 3rd choice but I'm kinda glad it happened that way.
DIY, undersubscribed unit, public land, late season, mostly wilderness area.

Unit 74 is one of the units with the lowest success rate but I've taken 9 elk out of there, so far.

Will travel up to Meeker with an either sex tag for the first hunt (private land only). Gas will have to be in the neighborhood of $10/gal before I abandon this hunt (or maybe not)!

Woo hooo I drew my Muzzleloader for a bull State wide got a big one allready picked out ben whtching him fore 5 years.no body around here whants to go deep for him but i am. PUBLIC LAND DIY THE ONLY WAY TO FLY FOR ME.

My son-in-law and I both drew cow tags for Unit 52. This is his first year, he had no preference points....

I passed up a moose hunt With my sister in Alaska to hunt elk! one hour from my house. And I dont think that i am crazy for doing it.

Just checked and our party drew 1st season Rifle in 78. Should be a good time.

My buddy and I drew 1st Rifle Season Area 49.
It's our second trip to 49, it's a good
unit and I'm looking forward to a great hunt.
1st season rifle this year will be during a
full moon so it should be challenging to say the
least.

I got my RFW cow tag and will pick up a second. All of my friends so far have drawn what they wanted.

Codave.... having just sampled some of last years moose again recently out of my freezer stash, I think you are crazy.... Elk at home vs moose in AK... moose every dang time.

Hell, I'll GIVE you a whole elk if I can go hunt moose in Alaska with yer sister.... is she hot???????????????????????????

I know everyone was thinking it... I just had to say it!

Thank you for confirming that im crazy.I guess the only thing left to say is hello my name is Codave and im a crazy addict!!!! was just given the bad news today fine i said it but there is a method to my madness. see as of now i get to plan a moose hunt next year. never hunted moose hey never ben to Alaska ither. After next year I will be a moose addict. my sister Said that there was only room for one slot has allready ben filled sorry.

I'd hunt the elk too. In fact I have a good friend that is coming down from Alaska to hunt elk instead of hunting moose. The odds of getting an elk are way better according to him and it's all about the meat!

Odds are probably better on an elk generally. The meat from the moose beats the elk everyday all day.....

This can't be Bev and Roger? I didn't draw this year... Ed M

I received my cow tag for unit 061 today. It was held up waiting on me to purchase an habitat stamp.

I went year before last to same area and really liked it.

Now I have to get it in gear and find a canvas wall tent. I have been looking at the 14 X 16 Wilderness tent. It has nylon webbing sewn into the eave with D rings intstead of grommets. Also no charge for rear window and tent bag.
