Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting 2016 was the worst elk season in colorado in last 12 years

I also believe more licenses issued and thus more hunters in the field

2015 221,274 elk hunters
2016 223,745 elk hunters

I guess 2500 more hunters isn't much as far as statistical significance, sure felt like I saw more guys in the field.

It was pretty crazy to be wearing a t-shirt in November while hunting.
