In the last 10 years I've done 7 CO elk hunts, 6 were successful. GMU 24 for 5 of them, GMU 29 for 2. GMU 29 is only useful in warm weather (i.e. first season)- the cold weather habitat is private. GMU 24 is a zoo - for about the first mile from civilization. Past that it's miles of public land with limited access and the biggest elk herd in the world - 40,000 elk in the herd, probably 5,000-7,000 in that GMU. I've pulled cow tags as 2nd choice, and one year did an OTC bull. 2nd rifle. I prefer cow tags as packing out bulls sucks.
